- Update to version 0.35.1 (0.35.0 was not released):
We're happy to release v0.35.1, the mid-summer release of Regal
for the 🏖️ ! This release updates to OPA v1.6.0 bringing a number
of performance improvements as well as other improvements and bug
fixes.
* Improved Schema Loading This PR replaces Regal's custom schema
loader with one that matches OPA's behavior, enabling the same
schemas to work across opa check, opa eval, and other OPA
commands. PR #1605
* Performance Improvements
- Thanks to a PR in OPA, Regal's memory use is now much reduced
due to a change conditionally supplying built-in contexts
only when needed.
- This PR optimizes Rego evaluation by directly mapping source
data to ast.Value objects instead of going through
intermediate map[string]any or JSON representations,
eliminating ~2.9 million allocations in benchmarks. PR #1606
- Regal contributors will be happy with
open-policy-agent/opa#7442 which makes running Regal's tests
around 2.5x as fast!
* Code Actions Rewrite
- Code actions are LSP features that provide automated fixes or
refactoring suggestions (like "quick fix" options), and this
PR implements them for Regal with server-side filtering to
reduce data transfer and ensure consistent editor behavior.
This is also now implemented in Rego! PR #1604
* Docs
- PR #1584 refactors a number of Regal's pages including
breaking down the previously large README into separate
files. Browse the new structure on the Regal Website.
- The Code Lens documentation has been updated to better
explain supported configurations. Thanks @Shinzu for the
report here. #1596

- Update to version 0.34.1:
This patch release fixes a bug found since v0.34.0 as well as it
bumps the OPA dependency to the v1.5.1 patch also released today.
While Regal's own policies were not affected by the regression in
walk, custom linter rules could very well be.
* Highlights
- OPA v1.5.0 -> v1.5.1
- Go 1.23 -> 1.24
- Fix false positive in sprintf-arguments-mismatch when the
%-*s pattern was used for padding.
* Changelog
- OPA v1.5.1 and some perf tweaks (#1580)
- docs: Update typo in link (#1581)
- deps: Revert 47c70f0 tablewriter changes (#1579)
- docs: Update to allow better regal docs generation (#1578)
- [create-pull-request] automated change (#1577)
- fix: consider padding pattern in sprintf-arguments-mismatch

- Update to version 0.34.0:
After a month of development, we're happy to announce Regal
v0.34. This version of the OPA community's favorite linter and
language server brings you new 3 linter rules, performance
improvements and much more.
With the v0.34.0 release, Regal now ships with more than 100
linter rules!
Which is pretty close to one new week per rule since the project
started.
* New rules
- unresolved-reference
This one is particularly exciting! The new
unresolved-reference rule reports any references (like
data.users.permissions) that cannot be resolved (i.e. found)
anywhere in the project. Some projects will have valid
references that can't be resolved at the time Regal lints the
project, and the rule provides configuration options to mark
certain references, or entire paths (like data.users.*) as
resolved. See the docs for the rule for more details.
- pointless-import
Category: imports
The new pointless-import rule will flags imports of the same
package, and other import forms where the import has no real
effect.
- single-item-in
Category: idiomatic
The single-item-in rule reports cases of in being used on a
single item collection, and suggests using an equality check
instead.
* Performance
- Use OPA v1.5.0, which brings performance improvements to walk
reducing linting time by about 10%.
- Faster linting by avoiding walk in a few locations where
possible.
- Improve performance of aggregate rules.
- Several performance optimizations to Regal's linter rules.
* API
- The linter API now has a new Prepare method that can be used
to prepare the linter before reusing it across several runs.
* Various
- Some rules that would previously only scan the topmost level
of a rule body will now recursively scan the whole rule.
- The input completions provider has been rewritten in Rego
(previously Go).
- The automatic version check has been rewritten in Rego
(previously Go).
* Bugs
- Fix false positive in custom one-liner-rule.
* Docs
- Updated roadmap. Go check it out!
- Move rules table from README and into a more interactive form
on the Styra docs. Take a look!
- Add link to Renovating Rego blog.
- README: add link to KubeCon London talk, which prominently
featured Regal.
- Update links to adapt to OPA's new documentation.
- Update outdated information in README.

- Update to version 0.33.1:
This release is the same tag as v0.33.1, please see that release
for the release notes.
Another v0.33.1 was released to trigger the rebuilding of some
assets that were deleted in a draft release.
* New Rule: in-wildcard-key
Using a wildcard variable (_) for the key in the key-value form
of iteration (some _, value in collection) is never needed, and
can be replaced by the simple some value in … form . This rule
flags cases where the key iteration is redundant. (Read more)
* New Rule: confusing-alias
While import aliases can improve readability, aliasing an
import reference that is also imported without an alias is
confusing, as both names point to the same resource. This rule
catches such cases. (Read more)
* New Rule: mixed-iteration
Rego supports different styles of collection iteration. While
"reference style" iteration (collection[_]) can be concise for
deeply nested structures, mixing it with the some .. in style
within a single iteration expression makes for code that’s more
difficult to follow. This rule encourages consistency within a
single iteration statement. (Read more)
* New Rule: narrow-argument
This new rule analyzes function arguments to suggest narrowing
them down to the minimal value the function depends on. This
can improve clarity and reusability. The rule considers
incrementally defined functions across all their definitions.
This is a powerful but opinionated rule and is thus in the
custom category and is not on by default. See the documentation
for how to enable it if you’re curious to try it out! (Read
more)
* Performance Improvements
Several improvements have been made to reduce memory
allocations and improve overall linting performance. Numbers
below refer to Regal’s benchmark for linting its own policies.
- Optimized config loading and parsing, saving around 2.7
million allocations (#1491).
- Reduced allocations by approximately 2 million (#1494).
- Improved the performance of the use-strings-count rule,
saving almost 1 million allocations (#1465).
- Optimized reference comparisons and small iteration patterns,
saving around 300k allocations (#1472).
- Included performance enhancements alongside an update to the
external-reference rule to make it more configurable (#1496).
* OPA v1.3.0
Regal has been upgraded to use OPA v1.3.0. This brings several
upstream improvements, including support for the new one-liner
grouping in formatting (see OPA#6760). (#1459)
* Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug in the handling of Rego input from stdin. Thanks
@tokyowizard for the report! (#1474)
- Fixed a panic that could occur in FindConfigRoots when
supplied with unexpected arguments. (#1487)
* Other Rule Updates
- The external-reference rule can now be configured with a
maximum number of allowed external references, instead of
solely flagging all external uses within a function. If you
previously had this rule disabled, you might want to try
enabling it now, and possibly tweak its configuration to your
liking. (#1496)
- The rule-length rule now has a separate setting
(max-test-rule-length) with a higher default value (60 vs 30)
for test rules, acknowledging that tests often include
substantial data. (#1476)
- Updated documentation for the rule-named-if rule based on
community feedback received via the page feedback form
(please let us know if you see issues! & thanks for the
report!) (#1463)
