v0.38.0

Compare Source

Happy New Year from the Regal maintainers!

Feature: String Interpolation Support

v0.38.0 of your favorite Rego linter, debugger and language server brings full support for OPA's new string interpolation feature. This means not only that Regal lints code found inside interpolated strings, but that you'll have access to all your favorite language server features within them too — like code completions, tooltips on hover, or document highlighting. You can even use the debugger to step through interpolated expressions! If you haven't yet tried it out, grab OPA v1.12.2, Regal v0.38.0 and enjoy an absolutely awesome addition to the Rego language!

In addition to this, we have a number of fun new features and performance improvements.

New Rule: disallow-rego-v1

Category: custom

This optional new rule flags the use of import rego.v1 in Rego policies (#​1778). Since OPA v1.0 (December 2024), this import is a no-op and no longer needed. The rule helps users maintain clean code by preventing this outdated import from appearing in new policies. Teams standardizing on OPA 1.0+ can enable this rule to enforce modern Rego standards.

package example

import rego.v1 # <-- Happy 2026! Time to stop doing this!

Authored by @​SeanLedford.

New Fixers

@​SeanLedford has also done some great work to help expand Regal's auto-fixing capabilities by having regal fixers added for three more rules.

See (#​1790) and (#​1794) for more details.

Performance

The fixer saw a 12% performance improvement by reusing the linter, reducing allocations from 2.3M to 2.0M operations (#​1783). Additional optimizations include:

  • faster file filtering by avoiding recompiled ignore patterns (#​1758),
  • better built-in function handling by registering Regal's functions globally only once (#​1788),
  • and more efficient AST location serialization (#​1758)

To track ongoing performance work, a new post-merge benchmark-recording workflow was added (#​1793).

LSP: New Ignore Code Action

The language server now supports a code action to quickly add regal ignore configuration for specific rules directly from the editor (#​1777).

Changelog

v0.37.0

Compare Source

Regal v0.37.0

This release features a new linter rule, several new language server features, and many improvements and fixes. The two major OPA versions bumped since the last release additionally contains several performance improvements that were contributed as part of developing Regal!

New Rule: prefer-equals-comparison

The prefer-equals-comparison linter rule recommends using the == operator for equality comparison over the unification operator =. The rule helps improve code clarity by using operators for their intended purposes: := for assignment, == for equality comparison, and = for unification. The linter identifies when = is used for comparison by checking if both sides of the operator are "unassignable".

Avoid

input.request.method = "GET"

Prefer

input.request.method == "GET"

There are some certainly valid use cases for the unification operator! But simple equality comparison is not one. For more information, see the documentation for the rule. As an amusing aside, this fixes one of the first issues created in the project!

Language server: Document highlighting to help show where function args are referenced

Document highlighting is one of the more subtle features of the LSP specification, but a really helpful one when implemented well. The experimental first implementation that shipped with Regal v0.36.0 is no longer experimental, and has also been extended to highlight usage of function argument variables inside of a function head or body.

Language server: Selection ranges

Selection ranges provide smart selection of code that can expand and shrink based on knowledge of the code rather than simple text properties, like hyphens or whitespace. This makes moving code around extremely fast, and without leaving the keyboard. Consult the language server docs for how to enable this in your editor

Improvements

  • The pointless-reassignment rule would previously only flag reassignment at the top level of a rule body. Now it flags pointless reassignments also in nested bodies, like comprehensions, every statements, and so on.

Windows compatibility improvements

In this release we have fixed various Windows bugs (Language Server Init, Goto Definition, Error Popups) in #​1740, #​1737, #​1736, following #​1633, and #​1642 last release. Reported and verified by geirs73.

These fixes have also made it possible to run our test suites on Windows runners to catch issues sooner in future. A huge thanks to @​charlieegan3 for his tireless work on this!

Changelog

v0.36.1

Compare Source

This is Regal v0.36! The first Regal release since becoming a part of the OPA project last month. This release mostly delivers a number of new language server features as well as wider improvements under the hood and to the developer experience.

A note for users getting Regal via Homebrew

Since Regal was made an official formula, our recommendation has been to use that as your source for Regal. This is the first release distributed only via that formula, so if you still rely on the old styrainc/regal one, make sure to have that removed and brew install regal instead.

A note about Regal's documentation

Our documentation is now displayed as part of the main OPA website!

https://www.openpolicyagent.org/projects/regal

From this release, links generated from Regal in output to rules will point to this location. You might find links to the old location as we get things updated. Please feel free to open any issues for link problems you find just so we don't miss anything.

Get contextual documentation when calling built-in functions

Following PR #​1654, the Regal language server will now offer signatureHelp to compatible clients. This shows the current argument type and description in the help text for built-in functions. This is in addition to the other general function documentation displayed here.

Quickly see related fields in when editing METADATA

PR #​1657 implements support for the documentHighlight request from clients. This is currently only used to show signal other related METADATA keys when working with Rego metadata.

ScreenRecording2025-09-09at11 12 34-ezgif com-video-to-gif-converter

In future, this same functionality could be used to highlight other related items currently in the viewport.

Jump directly from ignore directives to documentation

documentLink is another request from clients which allow the server to respond with link ranges. We have used this to make regal ignore directives clickable, helping users quickly learn what they mean when encountered in policies PR #​1657.

Get live diagnostics from custom rules as you type

PR #​1631 ensures that users of custom linter rules are also able to access these for live diagnostics in language server clients. Previously these were not evaluated in the server, only in the Regal CLI.

Notable Refactors & Development Changes

  • Rego Language Server Routing: PR #​1675 makes some notable changes to how Rego is used within the Regal’s language server. The Language Server Protocol (LSP), which Regal implements to support LSP clients, is based on JSON message passing. This lends itself to Rego evaluation which is JSON in, JSON out. This PR updates the handling of different LSP messages sent from clients to route them in Rego, handling Rego backed rules first, and falling back to Golang implementations that still remain otherwise. This sets the direction for more Rego LSP functionality in the language server in future.
  • Development bundle loading from disk: PR #​1646 gives those working on Regal in development the option of using the current source for the Regal bundle without rebuilding the binary. This improves the experience when working on Rego based language server functionality by reducing the time of a feedback loop. Set REGAL_BUNDLE_PATH to use this feature.
