+## Add support for direct value comparisons - 2023-02-27
+
+Right now if you want to use `->isA` or `->isAny` or the other comparison methods you must pass in an enum instance, I.e.
+
+```php
+$user->role->isA(MyEnum::from('admin'));           // true
+$user->role->isA('admin');                         // false
+
+$user->role->isA(MyEnum::from('not-a-value'));     // exception
+$user->role->isA('not-a-value');                   // false
+
+$user->role->isAny([MyEnum::from('admin')]);       // true
+$user->role->isAny(['admin']);                     // false
+
+$user->role->isAny([MyEnum::from('not-a-value')]); // exception
+$user->role->isAny(['not-a-value']);               // false
+
+```
+This release makes it so each pair of methods will act the same whether given a string value or an enum instance.
+
+```php
+$user->role->isA(MyEnum::from('admin'));           // true
+$user->role->isA('admin');                         // true
+
+$user->role->isA(MyEnum::from('not-a-value'));     // exception
+$user->role->isA('not-a-value');                   // exception
+
+$user->role->isAny([MyEnum::from('admin')]);       // true
+$user->role->isAny(['admin']);                     // true
+
+$user->role->isAny([MyEnum::from('not-a-value')]); // exception
+$user->role->isAny(['not-a-value']);               // exception
+
+```
+This also applies for isAn, isNotA, isNotAn, isNotAny
