# [1.0.0-alpha.4](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/compare/v1.0.0-alpha.3...v1.0.0-alpha.4) (2023-12-13)

### Bug Fixes

* upgrade `rules_toolchain` ([92d070e6](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/commit/92d070e632be505c0c16c77a5bfebd593acbd548))

# [1.0.0-alpha.3](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/compare/v1.0.0-alpha.2...v1.0.0-alpha.3) (2023-12-13)

### Bug Fixes

* scope tool labels to project ([e5014154](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/commit/e50141549e50656f2840d4481a5ff7f2f63d8b58))
* set minimum version to Bazel 7 ([e84dd11a](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/commit/e84dd11a9e8abf0f34857cdc55293b29f350c04d))

When a tool such as `//abc.sh` is provide. In nested projects it
was being resolved to the full label with the workspace.

This patch checks if the workspace is the same as the provided label,
if so do not add the workspace.

`use_repo_rule` never made it into Bazel 6.4.0

# [1.0.0-alpha.2](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/compare/v1.0.0-alpha.1...v1.0.0-alpha.2) (2023-12-08)

### Features

* add Windows support ([1c275c20](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/commit/1c275c20cd80f8cc17ede2adb7dc41e03c359a5c))

Individual `defs.bzl` files allow a fine-grained load graph for
Bazel so it only has to load `.bzl` files that it needs to.

This is much better than a single `defs.bzl` that pulls in all
the different `load` statements.

`rules_toolchain` is now open-source 🎉

Double down on all hermetic tooling should be provided in `tools`.

`rules_coreutils` should be the ruleset that provides hermetic coreutils,
not `rules_download`.

Users should only pay for what they use and if they never use core utilities,
we download it everytime.

Especially, turning off legacy runfiles.

Allows running commands using hermetically provided binaries:

```py
archive = use_repo_rule("@rules_download//download:defs.bzl", "download_archive")

archive(
    ...,
    commands = {
        "symlink": ["ln", "-s", "abc", "foo"],
    },
)
```

`use_repo_rule` is available in `6.4.0` and above.

It _hugely_ simplifies what we want to do.

That should be the new minimum version for our rulesets.

As of writing, `6.4.0` is not released. The release candidates do not have
the `use_repo_rule` added, yet. Most rules use `last_rc` Bazel version.

`visibility` is available in 6.0+.
