CEL Policy Compiler

Policies which use CEL often evolve to express complex logic using multiple statements
and decision criteria. The CEL Policy Compiler provides an extensible format for parsing,
compiling, and composing expression graphs. Below is a simple example which can easily
be compiled to a single CEL expression.

name: "my-policy"
rule:
  variables:
    - name: greeting
      expression: "'%s, %s!'"
    - name: people
      expression: >
       ['Tristan', 'Calla', 'Antoine', 'Jonathan', 'Sokwhan', 'Rebecca']
  match:
    - condition: "request.user in variables.people"
      output: "variables.greeting.format(['hello', request.user])"
    - output: "variables.greeting.format(['goodbye', 'stranger'])"

• Simple Policy Compiler [#924]
• Introduce protobuf message testing to policies [#961]
• Generate policy explanations during compilation [#977]
• Variable and nested rule limits [#989]
• Improved support for nested rules #991]

Fixes

• Do not re-use ID twice in exists_one macro [#935]
• Avoid iterating over the source multiple times during parse [#936]
• Fix for working with byte arrays by [#958]
• Stabilize macro id generation during optimization [#962]
• String formatting panic fix for non-literal format strings [#987]
• Add nil checking for wrapperspb's types [#960]
• Prevent self-append for Issues [#988]
• Use bytes interface value for zero native type struct fields instead of dynamic list [#981]

Presence Test Semantics

The following two changes identified an issue where presence test was unexpectedly being performed over a scalar type and evaluating to absent rather than erroring. It is strongly advised to set the flag cel.EnableErrorOnBadPresenceTest(true) to avoid a logical correctness issue.

• Fix presence test to produce an error when it's not a map or a message [#922]
• Update the presence testing fix to be opt-out [#939]

Deprecation Cleanup

• Remove the deprecated protobuf function and type declarations [#921]

Full Changelog: v0.17.0...v0.17.1

Release v0.17.0

At a high-level this release introduces several changes which should improve ease of use
while also improving the evaluation safety and quality:

• Standard library functions may be extended by using cel.Function options.
• The unknown type now contains information about which field references were unknown.
• Type representations have been consolidated to *types.Type.
• New options have been added to add custom AST validations which are run after type-checking.
• Additional macros were added for optional types, and a new extension was added for list slicing.
• The cel.ContextProtoVars method has been added to bind proto fields to variable names,
  complementing cel.DeclareContextProto.

• Unify decls.Type with types.Type [#745]
• Introduce optFlatMap and OptionalTypes documentation [#744]
• Include expression id on parser and checker errors [#725]
• Implement errors.Unwrap for types.Err. [#728]
