New

• Polymorphic structure: Bouncer now uses a new polymorphic database schema, so that you can attach roles and abilities to any model (see here how to upgrade your schema).

• Wildcard abilities: you can now use wildcards to allow a wide spread of abilities:

  Bouncer::allow($user)->to('edit', '*');
  
  Bouncer::allows('edit', $post) == true;

  For more information on wildcards, see this discussion: #56

• whereAssignedTo query scope: Role::whereAssignedTo($users) will return all roles assigned to those users.

• whereCannot query scope: User::whereCannot('edit', Post::class) will return all users that can't edit posts.

Pending

The following is what's holding up the 1.0 stable release:

• Wildcards in scopes: currently, not all query scopes handle wildcards properly. We need full wildcard support in all query scopes before 1.0 can be released.
• Wildcard aliases: we need proper alias methods for most of the wildcard operations. See this discussion for more information.
• Documentation: there are still a lot of things missing from the documentation. I want to properly flesh it out before the 1.0 release.
