Updated Go type checking behavior

When evaluating whether a given query variable matches a Go type Polar will now use direct instance comparisons instead of Go’s reflect.ConvertibleTo functionality. This change resolves false-positive type checking results where discrete structs with identical sets of fields were considered to be equivalent.

This change has implications for the use of NewTypes in Polar rule definitions. Rules that are defined using NewTypes will now only match instances of the NewType and no longer match the underlying wrapped type.

Rules which consume NewTypes must now be specialized over the NewType directly and not the underlying wrapped type.

type Action string
const (
    View Action = "view"
    Create Action = "create"
    Update Action = "update"
)

Where previously it was possible to utilize this Action type as interchangeable with that of string:

user_has_action(user: User, action: String, resource: Resource) if ...

This rule definition must be rewritten as follows:

user_has_action(user: User, action: Action, resource: Resource) if ...

Breaking Changes

@polar_class is deprecated in favor of Oso#register_class

The @polar_class decorator used to register classes with Polar has been deprecated. To register a class with Polar it is now necessary to use the Oso#register_class API.

New data filtering configuration API is now mandatory

The original data filtering configuration API using per-class build_query, exec_query, and combine_query methods has been removed. Data filtering is now configured through the new Adapter API.
