 # @backstage/config-loader
 
+## 0.4.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- ad5c56fd9: Deprecate `$data` and replace it with `$include` which allows for any type of json value to be read from external files. In addition, `$include` can be used without a path, which causes the value at the root of the file to be loaded.
+
+  Most usages of `$data` can be directly replaced with `$include`, except if the referenced value is not a string, in which case the value needs to be changed. For example:
+
+  ```yaml
+  # app-config.yaml
+  foo:
+    $data: foo.yaml#myValue # replacing with $include will turn the value into a number
+    $data: bar.yaml#myValue # replacing with $include is safe
+
+  # foo.yaml
+  myValue: 0xf00
+
+  # bar.yaml
+  myValue: bar
+  ```
+
 ## 0.4.0
