# [1.0.0-beta.4](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/compare/v1.0.0-beta.3...v1.0.0-beta.4) (2024-09-05)

### Features

* **toolchains:** switch to using toolchains for compression ([aab887e1](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/aab887e14a76a370d7db22f4d6fa70e7c9c0fde3))

Allows projects to customise the compressor used with toolchains.

This is especially useful with the built toolchains:

```
--extra_toolchains=@rules_zstd//zstd/toolchain/zstd:built
```

Avoids need for C/C++ compilation.

Assume the remote executor is `amd64` and `@ape` is assimilating for `arm64`.

Not sure why this is occuring and needs debugging.

`@ape//:tar` is deprecated.

# 1.0.0-beta.1 (2024-07-18)

### Bug Fixes

* support Windows ([a13cf8ab](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/a13cf8abf2fab0b15cbe041cfc34176d03ec0f86))
* upgrade to `ape@1.0.0-beta.6` ([7599de83](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/7599de83e505ef12cf456bd5c238918897c8fc4a))

### Features

* add support for `zstd`, `bzip2` and `gzip` ([9988b851](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/9988b8516355975191032679fe3f824aa4d62a4c))
* added `e2e` tests for `tar` toolchain ([af1029e7](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/af1029e73cbd1c23e52c74f1bd3ada61153a93e1))
* added semantic release to bazel template ([a8a66341](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/a8a663411461dfd66fcc36635b1659a1beb3bd6b))
* created a `tar_extract` rule ([1590851a](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/1590851ab4c42d2b78122161aacfc1d38664acf1))

* resolved the toolchain for tar ([57f087f2](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/57f087f292b44657a46d5e74b15193706faeaf8a))
* support added for `xz` ([37c211b9](https://git.gitlab.arm.com/bazel/rules_tar/commit/37c211b95744f859ce00475ce9466779e483de03))

Needed to switch to piping the data into `tar`. The `PATH` override
does not work on Windows. This has the added benefit that we do not
depend on any `tar` specific flags.

This brings remote execution support for the binaries.

It also updates the chain to use a newer version of `toolchain_utils` that
provides `toolchain.run` that can be passed to `ctx.actions.run#executable` to
enable passing the runfiles into the action.
