2.30.0 - 2019-01-28

Change cache config time to DateInterval instead of integer

This is in preparation for compatibility with Laravel 5.8's cache TTL change to seconds instead of minutes.

NOTE: If you leave your existing config/permission.php file alone, then with Laravel 5.8 the 60 * 24 will change from being treated as 24 hours to just 24 minutes. Depending on your app, this may or may not make a significant difference. Updating your config file to a specific DateInterval will add specificity and insulate you from the TTL change in Laravel 5.8.

Refs:

https://laravel-news.com/cache-ttl-change-coming-to-laravel-5-8 https://github.com/laravel/framework/commit/fd6eb89b62ec09df1ffbee164831a827e83fa61d

2.29.0 - 2018-12-15

Fix bound saved event from firing on all subsequent models when calling assignRole or givePermissionTo on unsaved models. However, it is preferable to save the model first, and then add roles/permissions after saving. See #971.

2.26.2 - 2018-11-20

Added the ability to reset the permissions cache via an Artisan command: php artisan permission:cache-reset

2.26.1 - 2018-11-19

minor update to de-duplicate code overhead
numerous internal updates to cache tests infrastructure

2.26.0 - 2018-11-19

Substantial speed increase by caching the associations between models and permissions

NOTES:

The following changes are not "breaking", but worth making the updates to your app for consistency.

Config file: The config/permission.php file changed to move cache-related settings into a sub-array. You should review the changes and merge the updates into your own config file. Specifically the expiration_time value has moved into a sub-array entry, and the old top-level entry is no longer used. See the master config file here: https://github.com/spatie/laravel-permission/blob/master/config/permission.php
Cache Resets: If your app or tests are clearing the cache by specifying the cache key, it is better to use the built-in forgetCachedPermissions() method so that it properly handles tagged cache entries. Here is the recommended change:

- app()['cache']->forget('spatie.permission.cache');
+ $this->app->make(\Spatie\Permission\PermissionRegistrar::class)->forgetCachedPermissions();

Also this is a good time to point out that now with v2.25.0 and v2.26.0 most permission-cache-reset scenarios may no longer be needed in your app, so it's worth reviewing those cases, as you may gain some app speed improvement by removing unnecessary cache resets.

2.25.0 - 2018-11-07

A model's roles and permissions relations (respectively) are now automatically reloaded after an Assign/Remove role or Grant/Revoke of permissions. This means there's no longer a need to call ->fresh() on the model if the only reason is to reload the role/permission relations. (That said, you may want to call it for other reasons.)
Added support for passing id to HasRole()

2.24.0 - 2018-11-06

Fix operator used on RoleOrPermissionMiddleware, and avoid throwing PermissionDoesNotExist if invalid permission passed
Auto-reload model role relation after using AssignRole
Avoid empty permission creation when using the CreateRole command

2.23.0 - 2018-10-15

Avoid unnecessary queries of user roles when fetching all permissions

2.22.0 - 2018-10-11

Added Route::role() and Route::permission() middleware helper functions
Added new role_or_permission middleware to allow specifying "or" combinations

Revert changes from 2.17.1 in order to support Lumen 5.7

2.20.0 - 2018-09-19

It will sync roles/permissions to models that are not persisted, by registering a saved callback. (It would previously throw an Integrity constraint violation QueryException on the pivot table insertion.)

2.19.2 - 2018-09-19

add @elserole directive: Usage:

@role('roleA')
 // user hasRole 'roleA'
@elserole('roleB')
 // user hasRole 'roleB' but not 'roleA'
@endrole

Make assigning the same role or permission twice not throw an exception

2.12.2 - 2018-06-13

added hasAllPermissions method

2.12.1 - 2018-04-23

Reverted 2.12.0. REVERTS: "Add ability to pass guard name to gate methods like can()". Requires reworking of guard handling if we're going to add this feature.
