Polar language changes

Explicit class instantiation with the new operator

This release introduces the new operator. Previously, the literal value Foo{x: 1} would be implicitly constructed as a Foo instance in some cases. Instantiation is now explicit, and Foo{x: 1} is only valid as a specializer:

check_this(foo: Foo{x: 1})

Constructing a new instance of Foo from Polar requires an explicit new operator:

new Foo{x: 1}

API changes

Python

Disambiguated load functions. oso.Oso.load() is no longer valid:

  • Load files with oso.Oso.load_file().
  • Load strings with oso.Oso.load_str().

New features

New operators: in and forall

Other bugs & improvements

  • More consistent formatting for error messages.
  • Performance improvements to the Polar virtual machine that are especially significant for policies with many rules.
