Android SDK tool update 21.0.1, platform tool 16.0.1, and SDK platform API 16 R4

Google provided updates to the Android development tools as Christmas gifts!

When I opened my Android SDK manager, I noticed there are 3 updates listed there.
One is Android SDK Tools 21.0.1, the other is Android SDK Platform Tools 16.0.1, and another is Android SDK platform API level 16 Revision 4.

If you are Eclipse and choose Windows -> Android SDK Manager, then select these 3 updates to install them, you may experience a little trouble, the error or warning would say some directory is currently being hold by some process. You would just need to exit the Eclipse IDE, then from the Android SDK Manager run the installation again.

After installing these updates, everything in the $android_sdk_folder/tools/ has been touched.

Right now I do not know what have been updated, and need to look at carefully to dig them out.

I wish I could find release note somewhere.
