API versions: v1beta1, v1alpha2

This is a patch release that predominantly includes updated conformance tests
for implementations to implement.

For all major changes since the v0.5.x release series, please see the
v0.6.0 release notes.

Bug Fixes

• Our regex for validating path characters was updated to accurately identify
  "p-chars" as per RFC-3986.

  and has been removed.

New Features

• Conditions for Policies have been added to the Golang library, enabling
  Go-based implementations to re-use those for their downstream Policies.

  experimental features.
