feat!: drop legacy WORKSPACE support; bzlmod-only (0.5.0) - #37
Merged
Conversation
The module is now bzlmod-only. Removes the legacy WORKSPACE file and all WORKSPACE-related tooling and docs, and releases 0.5.0. - Delete WORKSPACE. - CI: drop the bzlmod/workspace/both test matrix; just `bazel test //...`. - release_prep.sh: drop the WORKSPACE http_archive release output and the unused WORKSPACE_NAME; build the archive from the generated worktree tree. - README: remove the WORKSPACE install section; fix "MODULES.bazel" typo. - CHANGELOG/MODULE: bump to 0.5.0; note 0.4.4 was a CI-only re-release of 0.4.3. BREAKING CHANGE: WORKSPACE installations are no longer supported; consumers must use bzlmod (bazel_dep).

Summary
Makes the module bzlmod-only and releases 0.5.0. Legacy
WORKSPACEsupport is removed along with all the tooling and documentation that backed it.
This is a breaking change for any consumer still installing via
WORKSPACE;they must switch to
bazel_dep(bzlmod).Changes
WORKSPACE.main.yml): drop thebzlmod/workspace/bothtest matrix — nowjust
bazel test //....release_prep.sh: drop theWORKSPACEhttp_archiverelease snippet andthe unused
WORKSPACE_NAME; build the release archive from the generatedworktree tree (so generated/patched files are included).
README.md: remove the### For WORKSPACEinstall section; fix theMODULES.bazel→MODULE.bazeltypo.MODULE.bazelandCHANGELOG.mdto0.5.0(minor bump forthe incompatible change). Also annotated
0.4.4as a CI-only re-release of0.4.3(no functional changes —.github/isexport-ignore'd from thearchive, so its published module was identical to
0.4.3).Notes
compare-versionspre-commit hook passes (MODULE.bazel and CHANGELOG agree at0.5.0).
