NOTES:

  • The minimum version of Go required to build the OPA module is 1.22

We are excited to announce OPA 1.0, a milestone release consolidating an improved developer experience for the future of Policy as Code. The release makes new functionality designed to simplify policy writing and improve the language's consistency the default.

Changes to Rego in OPA 1.0

Below we highlight some key changes to the defaults in OPA 1.0:

  • Using if for all rule definitions and contains for multi-value rules is now mandatory, not just when using the rego.v1 import.
  • Other new keywords (every, in) are available without any imports.
  • Previously requirements that were only run in "strict mode" (like opa check --strict) are now the default. Duplicate imports and imports which shadow each other are no longer allowed.
  • OPA 1.0 comes with a range of backwards compatibility features to aid your migrations, please see the v0 compatibility guide
    if you must continue to support v0 Rego.

Read more about the OPA 1.0 announcement here on our blog.

Following are other changes that are included in OPA 1.0.

Improvements to memory allocations

PRs #7172, #7190, #7193, #7165, #7168, #7191 & #7222 together improve the memory performance of OPA. Key strategies
include reusing pointers and optimizing array and object operations, minimizing intermediate object creation, and using sync.Pool
to manage memory-heavy operations. These changes cumulatively greatly reduced the number of allocations and improved
evaluation speed by 10-20%. Additional benchmarks highlighted significant memory and speed improvements in custom
function evaluation.

Wrap http.RoundTripper for SDK users

PR #7180 adds an EvalHTTPRoundTrip EvalOption and query-level WithHTTPRoundTrip option.
Both use a new function type which converts an http.Transport configured by topdown to an http.RoundTripper.
This supports use cases requiring the customization of the http.send built in behavior.

Improvements to scientific notation parsing in units.parse

PR #7147 extends the behaviour of extractNumAndUnit to support
scientific notation values. This means values such as 1e3KB can now be handled by this function.

Support customized buckets bundle_loading_duration_ns metric

PR #7156 extends OPA’s Prometheus configuration to allow the
setting of user defined buckets for metrics. This aids when debugging the loading of slow bundles.

Test suite performance improvements

PR #7126 updates tests to improve performance. Topdown and storage/disk/
tests now run around 50% and 75% faster respectively.
