Description

Release 0.8.0 is not fully defined yet, but some changes / improvements might be:

- Remove WORKSPACE support (WORKSPACE support is default "off" in Bazel 8 and will be removed completely in Bazel 9)

- Integration with rules_kotlin (e.g. compiling kt sources directly in android_library)
- This could take some time so really this might be in a yet more remote 0.9.0
- ~~Finish moving all tool dependencies to rules_android repo (i.e. stop depending on the "remote android tools")~~ Done in 0.7.0
- Improve APIs (the "processor pipeline") / framework for extending the Android rules
- and ideally validating it by moving D8 and databinding support over
- ~~Use Starlark ProguardSpecInfo from rules_java~~ Done in 0.7.0
- Drop legacy multidex support
