Restructure site/ directory into docs/ which only contains Bazel documentation.
The new docs/ directory in the bazel source tree will only contain the Bazel docs site, which is hosted at docs.bazel.build. This change deletes the marketing site and blog, which have been migrated to the bazel-website and bazel-blog GitHub repositories respectively. This change also updates the serve-docs.sh and ci/build.sh under scripts/ in preparation for publishing the docs site. Note that to help make reviews more manageable, this change is limited to moving files to their new locations. Here are the follow-up changes: * Update all links in docs to remove versions/master in paths and to add correct bazel.build subdomain when linking to pages on the marketing site or the blog. * Set up versioned directories on GCS bucket and add tooling for versioning docs This change is also coordinated with https://bazel-review.googlesource.com/c/11568/ to have the PublishSite job publish to docs.bazel.build rather than www.bazel.build.

-title: Bazel 0.5.0 Released
----
-
-We are delighted to announce the [0.5.0 release of
-Bazel](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/tag/0.5.0) (follow the link
-for the full release notes and list of changes).
-
-This release simplifies Bazel installation on Windows and platforms where a JDK
-is not available. It solidifies the Build Event Protocol and [Remote Execution
-APIs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AaGk7fOPByEvpAbqeXIyE8HX_A3_axxNnvroblTZ_6s/edit).
-
-> Note: Bazel release 0.5.0 contains a bug in the compiler detection on macOS which
-> requires Xcode and the iOS tooling to be installed
-> ([corresponding issue #3063](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/3063)).
-> If you had Command Line Tools installed, you also need to switch to Xcode using
-> `sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer`.
-
-## Improvements from our roadmap
-
-### Bundled JDK
-
-As announced earlier, when using an install script, bazel now comes by default
-bundled with JDK 8. This means fewer steps required to install Bazel. Read more
-about JDK 7 deprecation in [the related blog
-post](https://bazel.build/blog/2017/04/21/JDK7-deprecation.html).
-
-### Windows support: now in beta
-
-Bazel on Windows is now easier to install: it is no longer linked with MSYS. A
-following blog post will detail this further. Bazel is now able to build Java,
-C++ and Python on Windows.
-
-### Build Event Protocol
-
-The [Build Event
-Protocol](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/buildeventstream/proto/build_event_stream.proto)
-is now available as an experimental option; it enables programmatic subscription
-to Bazel's events (build started, action status, target completed, test
-results…). Currently, the protocol can only be written to a file. A gRPC
-transport is already in the works and will be added in the next minor release.
-The API will be stabilized in 0.5.1.
-
-### Coverage support for pure Java targets
-
-Use bazel coverage //my:target to generate coverage information from a
-java\_test.
-
-## Other major changes since 0.4.0
-
-### New rules
-
-New rules in Bazel:
-[proto\_library](https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/be/protocol-buffer.html#proto_library),
-[java\_lite\_proto\_library](https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/be/java.html#java_lite_proto_library),
-[java\_proto\_library](https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/be/java.html#java_proto_library)
-and
-[cc\_proto\_library](https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/be/c-cpp.html#cc_proto_library).
-
-### New Apple rules
-
-There is a new repository for building for Apple platforms:
-[https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules\_apple](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple).
-These rules replace the deprecated iOS/watchOS rules built into Bazel. By
-rebuilding the rules from the ground up in Skylark and hosting them separately,
-we can more quickly fix bugs and implement new Apple features and platform
-versions as they become available.
-
-### Android Support Improvements
-
-- Integration with the Android Support Repository libraries in
- android\_sdk\_repository.
-- Support for Java 8 in Android builds with --experimental\_desugar\_for\_android.
- See [Android Studio's
- documentation](https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/features/java8-support.html)
- for more details about Android's Java 8 language features.
-- Multidex is now fully supported via
- [android\_binary.multidex](https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/be/android.html#android_binary.multidex).
-- android\_ndk\_repository now supports Android NDK 13 and NDK 14.
-- APKs are now signed with both APK Signature V1 and V2.
- See [Android
- documentation](https://source.android.com/security/apksigning/v2.html) for more
- details about APK Signature Scheme v2.
-
-### Remote Execution API
-
-We fixed a number of bugs in the Remote Execution implementation. The final RPC
-API design has been sent to
-[bazel-discuss@](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bazel-discuss) for
-discussion (see [Design Document: Remote Execution
-API](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AaGk7fOPByEvpAbqeXIyE8HX_A3_axxNnvroblTZ_6s/edit#heading=h.ole76l21af90))
-and it should be finalized in the 0.6.0 release. The final API should only be a
-minor change compared to the implementation in this 0.5.0 release.
-
-## Skylark
-
-- Declared Providers are now implemented and
- [documented](https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/skylark/rules.html#providers).
- They enable more robust and clearly defined interfaces between different
- rules and aspects. We recommend using them for all rules and aspects.
-- The type formerly known as 'set' is now called 'depset'. Depsets make your
- rules perform much better, allowing rules memory consumption to scale
- linearly instead of quadratically with build graph size - make sure you have
- read the
- [documentation on depsets](https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/skylark/depsets.html).
-
-## Finally...
-
-A big thank you to our community for your continued support.
-Particular shout-outs to Peter Mounce for the [Chocolatey Windows
-package](https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/install-windows.html) and Yuki
-Yugui Sonoda for maintaining [rules\_go](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go)
-(they both received an [open source peer
-bonus](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2017/03/the-latest-round-of-google-open-source.html)
-from Google).
-
-Thank you all, keep the
-[questions](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/bazel) and [bug
-reports](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues) coming!
