Validator is broken

[KaneCohen]

Validating input with numeric rule (and couple others) may lead to errors if input attribute is accessed via "dot notation".

Example: 'user.age' => 'numeric' will throw an error. Problem is there because getSize method uses $this->data($attribute) instead of $this->getValue($attribute). Same error will be thrown in similar cases with validateSame and validateDifferent.

It's been fixed in #833 and #1340 PRs, but so far it's not in current release version.

Then I guess this is a duplicate issue?

Just wanted to make sure that this exact issue with dot notation access is known and if someone stumbles upon the error it'll be known.
