March 2025 — Cedar policy feature delivery focused on enabling EST PolicySets with template support. Implemented CST to EST policy conversion, refactored policy data modeling to support templating, and enhanced PolicySet conversion to distinguish between static policies and templates based on slots presence. This lays the groundwork for template-based policy governance and reusable policy sets, improving scalability and deployment speed across environments.
