# [1.1.0-beta.1](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/download_utils/compare/v1.0.1...v1.1.0-beta.1) (2025-02-28)

### Bug Fixes

* append canonical arguments to `WORKSPACE` if it exists ([86b169d0](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/download_utils/commit/86b169d04841489f83c13a64a8b48dd24f0e3fad))
* do not write `WORKSPACE` if `metadata` attribute is set ([1dc4fb7f](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/download_utils/commit/1dc4fb7fc1b7b0e92cdfa4d9693e5df5b17ed4b6))

### Features

* allow custom metadata files ([ea05186e](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/download_utils/commit/ea05186e72848a1dca7348f035989cf40d7ab91c))

When a user is using `metadata` attribute, we do not write anything to `WORKSPACE`.

Eventually, the writing of data to `WORKSPACE` will be removed in a breaking change release.

Previously, the canonical arguments were blatted over any previously existing `WORKSPACE`.

This was stupid. It now appends to the file if it exists.

Eventually, in a breaking change we will remove this functionality as it is superseded by `metadata` attribute.

```py
download_file(
    name = "example",
    metadata = {
        "//:integrity.tmpl.bzl", ".integrity.bzl",
    },
)
```

Where `integrity.tmpl.bzl` is:

```py
visibility("public")

INTEGRITY = "{{integrity}}"
```

Then `@example//:.integrity.bzl"` can be used in `load` statement to read the download integrity.

## [1.0.1](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/download_utils/compare/v1.0.0...v1.0.1) (2025-02-12)

### Bug Fixes

* upgrade to `toolchain_utils@1.0.2` ([c02f469c](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/download_utils/commit/c02f469c5c424e183b25368e85a65cea215bc0d9))

Removes a circular dependency. `rules_diff` indirectly depends on `download_utils`.

### BREAKING CHANGES

* Project renamed to `download_utils` for BCR upstreaming.

A graceful switch can be done by renaming the module in `MODULE.bazel`:

```
bazel_dep(name = "download_utils", repo_name = "rules_download")
```
* `symlinks` in the rule is now `links`

```diff
 download_archive(
-    symlinks = {
+    links = {
         "abc.txt": "def.txt",
     }
 )
```

Removes `reuse` support.

Will be disabled by default in Bazel 9.

We exclusively use `MODULE.bazel`.

Remove legacy workspace.

Bazel resolves transitive versions based on the `compatibility_level` and
can chose a newer version that what is specified in `MODULE.bazel`.

The warnings are often noise as we are happy to use newer versions, we
just specify the minimum version we are compatible with in `MODULE.bazel`.
