Rules Protobuf Versions Save

Please see commit log for changes.

No breaking changes anticipated with this release.

This release primarily motivated to demarcate compatibility with upcoming bazel 0.6.0.

• Renames all instances of set to depset.
• Changes idiom of list(set(deduplicate_me)) to depset(deduplicate_me).to_list()
• Improves output path calculation for generated protos when used as external workspaces (@douglasreid)
• Improved support for python requirements (@mattmoor)
• New attribute importpath for go_proto_library
• Documentation update

This is a significant (possibly overreaching) update that brings grpc support up to latest. rules_protobuf should also load much faster than previously. Some of the names of external workspaces have changed that may break your build (for example, string references such as 'external/com_github_google_protobuf/src' should be migrated to 'external/com_google_protobuf/src' in an 'imports' attribute).

• Introduce cpp/grpc_repository.bzl to setup a custom @com_google_grpc external workspace (no longer using git_repository#init_submodules). This pulls down grpc/grpc from github as @com_google_grpc_base, sets up a mirrored external workspace in @com_google_grpc that symlinks to @com_google_grpc_base, then does a "git submodule the hard way" for c-ares, and installs a patched version of generate_cc.bzl.
• Rename repository @com_github_google_protobuf to @com_google_protobuf.
• Rename repository @com_github_grpc_grpc to @com_google_grpc.
• Rename repository @gtest to @com_google_googletest.
• Updated grpc/grpc to 1.6.1.
• Updated madler/zlib to 1.2.11.
• Updated boringssl to master-with-bazel Sep 2 2017.
• Updated nuget deps to 1.6.0.
• Adding binding to //external:protocol_compiler (that's what with grpc repo wants).
• Remove binding //external:protoc (now //external:protocol_compiler).
• Migrated all git_repository repository_rules to http_archive (faster).

• Updated grpc-java to 1.4.0 (@zhexuany)
• Fixed broken links in README (@mikesamuel)

• Upgrade gogo deps (@geeknoid)
• Java documentation improvements (@bzz)
• Add support for gogofast, gogofaster, and gogoslick (@douglas-reid)
• Add -request_context option to grpc_gateway_library (@pcj)

• Upgrade google_apis to 13ac.
• Upgrade grpc/grpc to 3808 (post 1.0.1)
• Upgrade boringssl to 1444.
• Remove nanopb dependency (now internal to grpc)
• Add greeter_server.py and intregration test (@drtechniko)
• Improve zlib build file (@pedrokiefer)
• Upgrade grpc-gateway (@achew22)
• Add well-known protos to grpc-gateway inputs.
• Upgrade protobuf-java to 3.1.0

This next release has a number of changes (see commit log) and migrates to rules_go's new_go_repository. This may affect imports or dependencies for some users and hence the bump to 0.7.x.

This release bumps google/protobuf to 3.1.0 and gRPC to 1.0.0+. Also includes nodejs support and improved grpc coverage of python, ruby, and objective-c.

Fixes broken link dependency of gtest-1.7.0.

• Major refactor / code simplification.
• Full support for grpc-gateway.
• Basic support for python.
• Basic support for ruby.
• Experimental support for csharp.
• Proto-proto dependencies.
• Protobuf imports.
• Improved documentation of attributes.

• Better support / demonstration of imports.
• Transitive import mapping for go_proto_library.
• Attribute re-naming. Previously, protos was used to name sources, this is now srcs.
