# [1.0.0-alpha.6](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/compare/v1.0.0-alpha.5...v1.0.0-alpha.6) (2024-01-23)

### Bug Fixes

* **e2e:** change to BCR `toolchain_utils` ([5ac42bca](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/commit/5ac42bca2d186bb9f8cbe38bb5182f5d0ff6a5f7))

We can use `symlinks` now.

# [1.0.0-alpha.5](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/compare/v1.0.0-alpha.4...v1.0.0-alpha.5) (2023-12-13)

### Features

* add `symlinks` attribute to rules ([12024cfe](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_download/commit/12024cfe32375a4a074cb4d7fcdc558fe8342e93))

Allows creating symlinks in the created download repositories.

This is especially useful for cross-platform creation of symlinks.

# [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 🎉
