## What it is
A legacy metadata index listing FreeCAD addons (workbenches and macros) used by the Addon Manager in FreeCAD versions before 1.0.0. It is retained so older FreeCAD installations can still discover and install packages, while new versions use the successor FreeCAD/Addons index.

## Use cases
- install addons in old FreeCAD versions
- find FreeCAD workbenches and macros
- browse the legacy FreeCAD addon catalog
- keep pre-1.0 FreeCAD Addon Manager working
- publish a FreeCAD addon to the old index

## When to choose
- you run FreeCAD < 1.0.0 and need the Addon Manager to work
- you maintain compatibility with legacy FreeCAD addon installs

## When to avoid
- you use FreeCAD 1.0.0 or newer (use the FreeCAD/Addons index instead)
- you want to submit a new addon for modern FreeCAD

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: maintenance
- function: package-manager, plugin-system, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: freecad, addon-index, legacy, workbench, macro, addon-manager, package-registry, cad, automation, desktop
