v1.4.0 of OpenFGA is released with support for Conditional Relationship Tuples

[jon-whit]

👋🏼 Hi folks


We’re excited to announce a new feature release v1.4.0 of OpenFGA which includes support for a new feature we’re calling Conditional Relationship Tuples. For more information on this new feature please read the linked blog post as well as the official documentation on Conditions. To coincide with this release we’ve been working hard on the OpenFGA SDKs as well. The Javascript and Go SDKs support Conditions and Conditional Relationship Tuples as of v0.3.0, and support in the Java SDK is coming soon.

As part of this feature release the maintainer team made the decision to make some protobuf API changes that were breaking changes to the gRPC API. No changes were made to the HTTP API. The changes made to the protobuf API were to accommodate what we believed was a healthy compromise of changes needed to more uniformly support this new feature. If you’re using the gRPC API today, we recommend upgrading your gRPC client to use the new protobuf API definitions before upgrading to any release after v1.3.7. Release v1.3.8 and later included these protobuf API changes in preparation for this big feature release.


We’re excited with this release as it brings whole new modeling capabilities to OpenFGA that allow developers to model more fine-grained policies based on attributes of resources. We’d love to hear how you choose to use the new feature and share your experience with us.

As always, feel free to reach out on Discord or here on Github Discussion with questions/concerns about this release. We’re happy to help!
