Upgrading

Upgrading to Mojolicious 6.0

Parameter name listing

Name listing support was removed from the Mojolicious::Controller and Mojo::Parameters param methods, in favor of the more appropriate Mojolicious::Parameters names method. For example, my @names = $c->param should now be written as my @names = @{$c->req->params->names}, if you wish to retrieve all GET/POST parameter names. The previous behavior of including names of placeholders and uploads has been removed. Similarly, the names of validated parameters in Mojolicious::Validator::Validation have been moved from param to passed and failed, which also now return arrayrefs instead of lists.

Multi-name parameter retrieval

Multi-name support was removed from various methods that retrieved parameters by name; these methods can only be used to retrieve one parameter at a time now. The affected methods include: Mojolicious::Controller cookie, param, and signed_cookie; Mojolicious::Validator::Validation param; Mojo::Parameters param; Mojo::Message cookie and upload.

Removed Mojo::Log methods

The log method was removed from Mojo::Log; use the individual logging methods instead (e.g. debug, info). The is_level method was also removed, use is_debug and similar methods to test the log level. The is_fatal method was removed because fatal logging is always enabled.

Removed Mojo::UserAgent custom socket support

Don't know what this was? Neither do we!

Removed Mojo::Loader object-oriented API

The Mojo::Loader OO API has been removed, use the exported-on-demand functions data_section, find_modules, and load_class directly instead.

Exception and Not-Found rendering

The deprecated Mojolicious::Controller methods render_exception and render_not_found have been removed, use the helpers $c->reply->exception and $c->reply->not_found instead.

Removed accept mutex

The accept mutex behavior was removed from Mojo::IOLoop and Mojo::Server::Prefork for better performance, along with the related attributes:

• Mojo::IOLoop accept_interval, lock, and unlock
• Mojo::Server::Prefork accept_interval, lock_file, and lock_timeout.

Route bridge

The deprecated Mojolicious::Routes::Route bridge method has been removed, use under instead.

Hypnotoad keep_alive_requests setting

This setting was removed, use requests instead.

Other removed deprecations

Mojo::Reactor is_readable method has been removed.

Mojo::DOM renaming

Mojo::DOM methods have been reorganized to better match the DOM spec.

• all_contents -> descendant_nodes
• contents -> child_nodes
• match -> matches (also renamed in Mojo::DOM::CSS)
• following_siblings -> following_nodes
• preceding_siblings -> preceding_nodes
• next_sibling -> next_node
• previous_sibling -> previous_node
• siblings -> Replaced by following and preceding methods
• node -> type
• type -> tag
