Sourced from github.com/open-policy-agent/opa's releases.

v1.6.0

This release contains a mix of new features, performance improvements, and bugfixes. Notably:

• Improvements to the OPA website and documentation
• Allowing keywords in Rego references
• Parallel test execution
• Faster built-in function execution

Modernized OPA Website (#7037)

We're continuing to modernize the OPA website with a new design and improved user experience.

Some highlights:

• Builtins: You can now search them on the docs page!
• Sidebar redesign: Making it easier to find what you're looking for in our docs
• Feedback forms: Closing the feedback loop between docs authors and readers -- Please let us know if you dislike, or like, a docs page.
• Downloads page: Find your OS' installation instructions on a less cluttered page!
• And much more

Allowing keywords in Rego references (#7709)

Previously, Rego references could not contain terms that conflict with Rego keywords such as package, if, else, not, etc. in certain constructs:

package example
allow if {
input.package.source         # not allowed (before v1.6.0)
input["package"].destination # allowed
}

The constraints for valid Rego references have been relaxed to allow keywords. The above example is now valid and will no longer cause a compilation error.

Parallel Test Execution (#7442)

By default, OPA will now run tests in parallel (defaulting to one parallel execution thread per available CPU core), significantly speeding up test execution time for large test suites. The performance boost is closely tied to the number of tests in your project and your selected parallelism level. For larger projects and default settings, 2-3x performance gains have been measured on a MacBook Pro.

Parallelism can be disabled to run tests sequentially by setting the --parallel flag to 1. E.g. opa test . --parallel=1.
