0f13f53c |
11 | This documents any important or noteworthy changes in Moose, with a |
12 | focus on backwards. This does duplicate data from the F<Changes> file, |
13 | but aims to provide more details and when possible workarounds. |
14 | |
15 | Besides helping keep up with changes, you can also use this document |
16 | for finding the lowest version of Moose that supported a given |
17 | feature. If you encounter a problem and have a solution but don't see |
18 | it documented here, or think we missed an important feature, please |
19 | send us a patch. |

25 | =item Hand-optimized type constraint code is deprecated in favor of inlining |
26 | |
27 | Moose allows you to provide a hand-optimized version of a type constraint's |
28 | subroutine reference. This version allows type constraints to generate inline |
29 | code, and you should use this inlining instead of providing a hand-optimized |
30 | subroutine reference. |
31 | |
32 | This affects the C<optimize_as> sub exported by |
33 | L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints>. Use C<inline_as> instead. |
34 | |
35 | This will start warning in the 2.0200 release. |

41 | =item More useful type constraint error messages |
42 | |
43 | If you have L<Devel::PartialDump> version 0.14 or higher installed, Moose's |
44 | type constraint error messages will use it to display the invalid value, rather |
45 | than just displaying it directly. This will generally be much more useful. For |
46 | instance, instead of this: |
47 | |
48 | Attribute (foo) does not pass the type constraint because: Validation failed for 'ArrayRef[Int]' with value ARRAY(0x275eed8) |
49 | |
50 | the error message will instead look like |
51 | |
52 | Attribute (foo) does not pass the type constraint because: Validation failed for 'ArrayRef[Int]' with value [ "a" ] |
53 | |
54 | Note that L<Devel::PartialDump> can't be made a direct dependency at the |
55 | moment, because it uses Moose itself, but we're considering options to make |
56 | this easier. |

64 | =item Roles have their own default attribute metaclass |
65 | |
66 | Previously, when a role was applied to a class, it would use the attribute |
67 | metaclass defined in the class when copying over the attributes in the role. |
68 | This was wrong, because for instance, using L<MooseX::FollowPBP> in the class |
69 | would end up renaming all of the accessors generated by the role, some of which |
70 | may be being called in the role, causing it to break. Roles now keep track of |
71 | their own attribute metaclass to use by default when being applied to a class |
72 | (defaulting to Moose::Meta::Attribute). This is modifiable using |
73 | L<Moose::Util::MetaRole> by passing the C<applied_attribute> key to the |
74 | C<role_metaroles> option, as in: |
75 | |
76 | Moose::Util::MetaRole::apply_metaroles( |
77 | for => __PACKAGE__, |
78 | class_metaroles => { |
79 | attribute => ['My::Meta::Role::Attribute'], |
80 | }, |
81 | role_metaroles => { |
82 | applied_attribute => ['My::Meta::Role::Attribute'], |
83 | }, |
84 | ); |
85 | |
6adb18d8 |
86 | =item Class::MOP has been folded into the Moose dist |
87 | |
88 | Moose and Class::MOP are tightly related enough that they have always had to be |
89 | kept pretty closely in step in terms of versions. Making them into a single |
90 | dist should simplify the upgrade process for users, as it should no longer be |
91 | possible to upgrade one without the other and potentially cause issues. No |
92 | functionality has changed, and this should be entirely transparent. |
93 | |
94 | =item Moose's conflict checking is more robust and useful |
95 | |
96 | There are two parts to this. The most useful one right now is that Moose will |
97 | ship with a C<moose-outdated> script, which can be run at any point to list the |
98 | modules which are installed that conflict with the installed version of Moose. |
99 | After upgrading Moose, running C<moose-outdated | cpanm> should be sufficient |
100 | to ensure that all of the Moose extensions you use will continue to work. |
101 | |
102 | The other part is that Moose's C<META.json> file will also specify the |
1b387fd1 |
103 | conflicts under the C<x_conflicts> key. We are working with the Perl tool chain |
6adb18d8 |
104 | developers to try to get conflicts support added to CPAN clients, and if/when |
105 | that happens, the metadata already exists, and so the conflict checking will |
106 | become automatic. |
107 | |

108 | =item Most deprecated APIs/features are slated for removal in Moose 2.0200 |
109 | |
110 | Most of the deprecated APIs and features in Moose will start throwing an error |
111 | in Moose 2.0200. Some of the features will go away entirely, and some will |
112 | simply throw an error. |
113 | |
114 | The things on the chopping block are: |
115 | |
116 | =over 8 |
117 | |
118 | =item * Old public methods in Class::MOP and Moose |
119 | |
120 | This includes things like C<< Class::MOP::Class->get_attribute_map >>, C<< |
121 | Class::MOP::Class->construct_instance >>, and many others. These were |
122 | deprecated in L<Class::MOP> 0.80_01, release on April 5, 2009. |
123 | |
124 | These methods will be removed entirely in Moose 2.0200. |
125 | |
126 | =item * Old public functions in Class::MOP |
127 | |
128 | This include C<Class::MOP::subname>, C<Class::MOP::in_global_destruction>, and |
129 | the C<Class::MOP::HAS_ISAREV> constant. The first two were deprecated in 0.84, |
130 | and the last in 0.80. Class::MOP 0.84 was released on May 12, 2009. |
131 | |
132 | These functions will be removed entirely in Moose 2.0200. |
133 | |
134 | =item * The C<alias> and C<excludes> option for role composition |
135 | |
136 | These were renamed to C<-alias> and C<-excludes> in Moose 0.89, released on |
137 | August 13, 2009. |
138 | |
139 | Passing these will throw an error in Moose 2.0200. |
140 | |
141 | =item * The old L<Moose::Util::MetaRole> API |
142 | |
143 | This include the C<apply_metaclass_roles()> function, as well as passing the |
144 | C<for_class> or any key ending in C<_roles> to C<apply_metaroles()>. This was |
145 | deprecated in Moose 0.93_01, released on January 4, 2010. |
146 | |
147 | These will all throw an error in Moose 2.0200. |
148 | |
149 | =item * Passing plain lists to C<type()> or C<subtype()> |
150 | |
151 | The old API for these functions allowed you to pass a plain list of parameter, |
152 | rather than a list of hash references (which is what C<as()>, C<where>, |
153 | etc. return). This was deprecated in Moose 0.71_01, released on February 22, |
154 | 2009. |
155 | |
156 | This will throw an error in Moose 2.0200. |
157 | |
158 | =item * The Role subtype |
159 | |
160 | This subtype was deprecated in Moose 0.84, released on June 26, 2009. |
161 | |
162 | This will be removed entirely in Moose 2.0200. |

172 | =item * New release policy |
173 | |
174 | As of the 2.0 release, Moose now has an official release and support policy, |
175 | documented in L<Moose::Manual::Support>. All API changes will now go through a |
176 | deprecation cycle of at least one year, after which the deprecated API can be |
177 | removed. Deprecations and removals will only happen in major releases. |
178 | |
179 | In between major release, we will still make minor releases to add new |
180 | features, fix bugs, update documentation, etc. |

188 | =item Configurable stacktraces |
189 | |
190 | Classes which use the L<Moose::Error::Default> error class can now have |
191 | stacktraces disabled by setting the C<MOOSE_ERROR_STYLE> env var to C<croak>. |
192 | This is experimental, fairly incomplete, and won't work in all cases (because |
193 | Moose's error system in general is all of these things), but this should allow |
194 | for reducing at least some of the verbosity in most cases. |

202 | =item Native Delegations |
d6ce97b9 |
203 | |
204 | In previous versions of Moose, the Native delegations were created as |
205 | closures. The generated code was often quite slow compared to doing the same |
206 | thing by hand. For example, the Array's push delegation ended up doing |
207 | something like this: |
208 | |
209 | push @{ $self->$reader() }, @_; |
210 | |
211 | If the attribute was created without a reader, the C<$reader> sub reference |
212 | followed a very slow code path. Even with a reader, this is still slower than |
213 | it needs to be. |
214 | |
215 | Native delegations are now generated as inline code, just like other |
216 | accessors, so we can access the slot directly. |
217 | |
218 | In addition, native traits now do proper constraint checking in all cases. In |
219 | particular, constraint checking has been improved for array and hash |
220 | references. Previously, only the I<contained> type (the C<Str> in |
221 | C<HashRef[Str]>) would be checked when a new value was added to the |
222 | collection. However, if there was a constraint that applied to the whole |
223 | value, this was never checked. |
224 | |
225 | In addition, coercions are now called on the whole value. |
226 | |
27719606 |
227 | The delegation methods now do more argument checking. All of the methods check |
228 | that a valid number of arguments were passed to the method. In addition, the |
229 | delegation methods check that the arguments are sane (array indexes, hash |
230 | keys, numbers, etc.) when applicable. We have tried to emulate the behavior of |
231 | Perl builtins as much as possible. |
232 | |
d6ce97b9 |
233 | Finally, triggers are called whenever the value of the attribute is changed by |
234 | a Native delegation. |
235 | |
c99ddeb7 |
236 | These changes are only likely to break code in a few cases. |
237 | |
ca8d6244 |
238 | The inlining code may or may not preserve the original reference when changes |
c99ddeb7 |
239 | are made. In some cases, methods which change the value may replace it |
240 | entirely. This will break tied values. |
241 | |
242 | If you have a typed arrayref or hashref attribute where the type enforces a |
243 | constraint on the whole collection, this constraint will now be checked. It's |
244 | possible that code which previously ran without errors will now cause the |
245 | constraint to fail. However, presumably this is a good thing ;) |
d6ce97b9 |
246 | |
27719606 |
247 | If you are passing invalid arguments to a delegation which were previously |
ca8d6244 |
248 | being ignored, these calls will now fail. |
27719606 |
249 | |
c99ddeb7 |
250 | If your code relied on the trigger only being called for a regular writer, |
251 | that may cause problems. |
d6ce97b9 |
252 | |
253 | As always, you are encouraged to test before deploying the latest version of |
254 | Moose to production. |
255 | |
c787d26e |
256 | =item Defaults is and default for String, Counter, and Bool |
257 | |
d21ebae8 |
258 | A few native traits (String, Counter, Bool) provide default values of "is" and |
c787d26e |
259 | "default" when you created an attribute. Allowing them to provide these values |
260 | is now deprecated. Supply the value yourself when creating the attribute. |
261 | |
a2084f68 |
262 | =item The C<meta> method |
263 | |
264 | Moose and Class::MOP have been cleaned up internally enough to make the |
265 | C<meta> method that you get by default optional. C<use Moose> and |
266 | C<use Moose::Role> now can take an additional C<-meta_name> option, which |
267 | tells Moose what name to use when installing the C<meta> method. Passing |
268 | C<undef> to this option suppresses generation of the C<meta> method |
269 | entirely. This should be useful for users of modules which also use a C<meta> |
270 | method or function, such as L<Curses> or L<Rose::DB::Object>. |

278 | =item All deprecated features now warn |
279 | |
280 | Previously, deprecation mostly consisted of simply saying "X is deprecated" in |
281 | the Changes file. We were not very consistent about actually warning. Now, all |
282 | deprecated features still present in Moose actually give a warning. The |
283 | warning is issued once per calling package. See L<Moose::Deprecated> for more |
284 | details. |
285 | |
2b54d2a6 |
286 | =item You cannot pass C<< coerce => 1 >> unless the attribute's type constraint has a coercion |
287 | |
288 | Previously, this was accepted, and it sort of worked, except that if you |
289 | attempted to set the attribute after the object was created, you would get a |
290 | runtime error. |
291 | |
aa6da652 |
292 | Now you will get a warning when you attempt to define the attribute. |

aee0741b |
294 | =item C<no Moose>, C<no Moose::Role>, and C<no Moose::Exporter> no longer unimport strict and warnings |
295 | |
296 | This change was made in 1.05, and has now been reverted. We don't know if the |
dee8c866 |
297 | user has explicitly loaded strict or warnings on their own, and unimporting |
298 | them is just broken in that case. |

300 | =item Reversed logic when defining which options can be changed |
7782e1da |
301 | |
da7efd4c |
302 | L<Moose::Meta::Attribute> now allows all options to be changed in an |
303 | overridden attribute. The previous behaviour required each option to be |
304 | whitelisted using the C<legal_options_for_inheritance> method. This method has |
305 | been removed, and there is a new method, C<illegal_options_for_inheritance>, |
306 | which can now be used to prevent certain options from being changeable. |
7782e1da |
307 | |
da7efd4c |
308 | In addition, we only throw an error if the illegal option is actually |
309 | changed. If the superclass didn't specify this option at all when defining the |
310 | attribute, the subclass version can still add it as an option. |
dede9732 |
311 | |
312 | Example of overriding this in an attribute trait: |
7782e1da |
313 | |
dede9732 |
314 | package Bar::Meta::Attribute; |
315 | use Moose::Role; |
7782e1da |
316 | |
317 | has 'my_illegal_option' => ( |

318 | isa => 'CodeRef', |
319 | is => 'rw', |
7782e1da |
320 | ); |

da7efd4c |
323 | return ( shift->(@_), qw/my_illegal_option/ ); |

332 | =item L<Moose::Object/BUILD> methods are now called when calling C<new_object> |
333 | |
334 | Previously, C<BUILD> methods would only be called from C<Moose::Object::new>, |
335 | but now they are also called when constructing an object via |
336 | C<Moose::Meta::Class::new_object>. C<BUILD> methods are an inherent part of the |
337 | object construction process, and this should make C<< $meta->new_object >> |
338 | actually usable without forcing people to use C<< $meta->name->new >>. |
339 | |
2fee26f1 |
340 | =item C<no Moose>, C<no Moose::Role>, and C<no Moose::Exporter> now unimport strict and warnings |
341 | |
342 | In the interest of having C<no Moose> clean up everything that C<use Moose> |
343 | does in the calling scope, C<no Moose> (as well as all other |
344 | L<Moose::Exporter>-using modules) now unimports strict and warnings. |
345 | |

346 | =item Metaclass compatibility checking and fixing should be much more robust |
347 | |
348 | The L<metaclass compatibility|Moose/METACLASS COMPATIBILITY AND MOOSE> checking |
349 | and fixing algorithms have been completely rewritten, in both Class::MOP and |
350 | Moose. This should resolve many confusing errors when dealing with non-Moose |
351 | inheritance and with custom metaclasses for things like attributes, |
918b5cef |
352 | constructors, etc. For correct code, the only thing that should require a |
353 | change is that custom error metaclasses must now inherit from |
354 | L<Moose::Error::Default>. |

401 | |
402 | The C<apply_metaclass_roles> function is now called C<apply_metaroles>. The |
403 | way arguments are supplied has been changed to force you to distinguish |
404 | between metaroles applied to L<Moose::Meta::Class> (and helpers) versus |
405 | L<Moose::Meta::Role>. |
406 | |
407 | The old API still works, but will warn in a future release, and eventually be |
408 | removed. |
409 | |
410 | =item Moose::Meta::Role has real attributes |
411 | |
412 | The attributes returned by L<Moose::Meta::Role> are now instances of the |
413 | L<Moose::Meta::Role::Attribute> class, instead of bare hash references. |
414 | |
5b7b27e2 |
415 | =item "no Moose" now removes C<blessed> and C<confess> |
416 | |
417 | Moose is now smart enough to know exactly what it exported, even when it |
418 | re-exports functions from other packages. When you unimport Moose, it will |
419 | remove these functions from your namespace unless you I<also> imported them |
420 | directly from their respective packages. |
421 | |
422 | If you have a C<no Moose> in your code I<before> you call C<blessed> or |
423 | C<confess>, your code will break. You can either move the C<no Moose> call |
424 | later in your code, or explicitly import the relevant functions from the |
425 | packages that provide them. |
426 | |
427 | =item L<Moose::Exporter> is smarter about unimporting re-exports |
428 | |
429 | The change above comes from a general improvement to L<Moose::Exporter>. It |
430 | will now unimport any function it exports, even if that function is a |
431 | re-export from another package. |
432 | |
f427b505 |
433 | =item Attributes in roles can no longer override class attributes with "+foo" |
434 | |
435 | Previously, this worked more or less accidentally, because role attributes |
436 | weren't objects. This was never documented, but a few MooseX modules took |
437 | advantage of this. |
438 | |
439 | =item The composition_class_roles attribute in L<Moose::Meta::Role> is now a method |
440 | |
441 | This was done to make it possible for roles to alter the the list of |
442 | composition class roles by applying a method modifiers. Previously, this was |
443 | an attribute and MooseX modules override it. Since that no longer works, this |

480 | =item Calling $object->new() is deprecated |
481 | |
482 | Moose has long supported this, but it's never really been documented, and we |
483 | don't think this is a good practice. If you want to construct an object from |
484 | an existing object, you should provide some sort of alternate constructor like |
485 | C<< $object->clone >>. |

511 | |
512 | This is dangerous because modifying a class after a subclass has been |
90b20bd6 |
513 | immutabilized will lead to incorrect results in the subclass, due to inlining, |
9b9a5a07 |
514 | caching, etc. This occasionally happens accidentally, when a class loads one |
515 | of its subclasses in the middle of its class definition, so pointing out that |
516 | this may cause issues should be helpful. Metaclasses (classes that inherit |
517 | from L<Class::MOP::Object>) are currently exempt from this check, since at the |
90b20bd6 |

520 | =item C<enum> and C<duck_type> now take arrayrefs for all forms |
521 | |
522 | Previously, calling these functions with a list would take the first element of |
523 | the list as the type constraint name, and use the remainder as the enum values |
524 | or method names. This makes the interface inconsistent with the anon-type forms |
525 | of these functions (which must take an arrayref), and a free-form list where |
526 | the first value is sometimes special is hard to validate (and harder to give |
527 | reasonable error messages for). These functions have been changed to take |
528 | arrayrefs in all their forms - so, C<< enum 'My::Type' => [qw(foo bar)] >> is |
529 | now the preferred way to create an enum type constraint. The old syntax still |
530 | works for now, but it will hopefully be deprecated and removed in a future |
531 | release. |

546 | =item C<handles>, not C<provides> or C<curries> |
547 | |
93ced2bd |
548 | The C<provides> syntax was like core Moose C<< handles => HASHREF >> |
549 | syntax, but with the keys and values reversed. This was confusing, |
550 | and AttributeHelpers now uses C<< handles => HASHREF >> in a way that |
551 | should be intuitive to anyone already familiar with how it is used for |
552 | other attributes. |
a3d98218 |
553 | |
93ced2bd |
554 | The C<curries> functionality provided by AttributeHelpers has been |
555 | generalized to apply to all cases of C<< handles => HASHREF >>, though |
556 | not every piece of functionality has been ported (currying with a |
557 | CODEREF is not supported). |

562 | the attribute was B<not> empty (no elements). Now it returns true if the |
1853a27e |
563 | attribute B<is> empty. It was also renamed to C<is_empty>, to reflect this. |

28b96142 |
566 | |
567 | L<List::Util> refers to the functionality that we used to provide under C<find> |
568 | as L<first|List::Util/first>, so that will likely be more familiar (and will |
9a14bd29 |
569 | fit in better if we decide to add more List::Util functions). C<first> and |
570 | C<last> were removed, since their functionality is easily duplicated with |
571 | curries of C<get>. |
28b96142 |
572 | |
573 | =item Helpers that take a coderef of one argument now use C<$_> |
574 | |
575 | Subroutines passed as the first argument to C<first>, C<map>, and C<grep> now |
576 | receive their argument in C<$_> rather than as a parameter to the subroutine. |
577 | Helpers that take a coderef of two or more arguments remain using the argument |
578 | list (there are technical limitations to using C<$a> and C<$b> like C<sort> |
579 | does). |

607 | you can use C<< is => 'bare' >>. You can maintain back compat with older |
608 | versions of Moose by using something like: |

610 | ($Moose::VERSION >= 0.84 ? is => 'bare' : ()) |
9f52cce5 |
611 | |
612 | When an accessor overwrites an existing method, we now warn. To work around |
613 | this warning (if you really must have this behavior), you can explicitly |
614 | remove the method before creating it as an accessor: |
615 | |
616 | sub foo {} |

680 | |
681 | The internals of making a class immutable changed a lot in Class::MOP |

750 | non-inlined version and the docs were still out of date. |
751 | |
752 | If by some chance you actually used this feature, the workaround is |

756 | has 'foo' => ( |

774 | You could declare a name with subtype such as "Foo!Bar". Moose would |

813 | Roles now add methods by calling C<add_method>, not |

815 | which will be cloned internally. This means that it is now possible to |
816 | track the source of a method provided by a role, and even follow its |
817 | history through intermediate roles. This means that methods added by |
818 | a role now show up when looking at a class's method list/map. |
819 | |
820 | Parameter and Union args are now sorted, this makes Int|Str the same |

824 | |
825 | L<Moose::Exporter> will no longer remove a subroutine that the |

842 | use Moose -traits => 'Foo' |
843 | |
844 | This should make writing small Moose extensions a little |
845 | easier. |

849 | Fixed C<coerce> to accept anon types just like C<subtype> can. |
850 | So that you can do: |
851 | |
852 | coerce $some_anon_type => from 'Str' => via { ... }; |

860 | Fixed how the C<< is => (ro|rw) >> works with custom defined |
861 | C<reader>, C<writer> and C<accessor> options. See the below table for |
600f7f85 |
862 | details: |
863 | |
864 | is => ro, writer => _foo # turns into (reader => foo, writer => _foo) |
865 | is => rw, writer => _foo # turns into (reader => foo, writer => _foo) |
866 | is => rw, accessor => _foo # turns into (accessor => _foo) |
867 | is => ro, accessor => _foo # error, accesor is rw |

871 | The C<before/around/after> method modifiers now support regexp |
872 | matching of method names. NOTE: this only works for classes, it is |
873 | currently not supported in roles, but, ... patches welcome. |
600f7f85 |
874 | |
0f13f53c |
875 | The C<has> keyword for roles now accepts the same array ref form that |
876 | L<Moose>.pm does for classes. |

878 | A trigger on a read-only attribute is no longer an error, as it's |
879 | useful to trigger off of the constructor. |
600f7f85 |

881 | Subtypes of parameterizable types now are parameterizable types |
882 | themselves. |

887 | not working correctly. It still kind of eats them, but so does vanilla |
888 | perl. |

893 | type ('isa', 'does'). |
894 | |
0f13f53c |
895 | The entire set of Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::* classes were |
896 | refactored in this release. If you were relying on their internals you |
897 | should test your code carefully. |

901 | Documenting the use of '+name' with attributes that come from recently |
902 | composed roles. It makes sense, people are using it, and so why not |
903 | just officially support it. |
600f7f85 |
904 | |

905 | The C<< Moose::Meta::Class->create >> method now supports roles. |

907 | It is now possible to make anonymous enum types by passing C<enum> an |
908 | array reference instead of the C<< enum $name => @values >>. |

912 | Added the C<make_immutable> keyword as a shortcut to calling |
913 | C<make_immutable> on the meta object. This eventually got removed! |
600f7f85 |
914 | |
0f13f53c |
915 | Made C<< init_arg => undef >> work in Moose. This means "do not accept |
600f7f85 |
916 | a constructor parameter for this attribute". |
917 | |
0f13f53c |
918 | Type errors now use the provided message. Prior to this release they |
919 | didn't. |

923 | Moose is now a postmodern object system :) |
924 | |
0f13f53c |
925 | The Role system was completely refactored. It is 100% backwards |
926 | compat, but the internals were totally changed. If you relied on the |
927 | internals then you are advised to test carefully. |
600f7f85 |
928 | |
929 | Added method exclusion and aliasing for Roles in this release. |
930 | |
0f13f53c |
931 | Added the L<Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::OptimizedConstraints> |
932 | module. |

0f13f53c |
934 | Passing a list of values to an accessor (which is only expecting one |
935 | value) used to be silently ignored, now it throws an error. |

947 | Honestly, you shouldn't be using versions of Moose that are this old, |
948 | so many bug fixes and speed improvements have been made you would be |
949 | crazy to not upgrade. |
