OOpps.. sorry I was wrong. LABELITEM is still there. It's the following 
that are gone:

* Layer: LABELANGLEITEM, LABELSIZEITEM
* Style: ANGLEITEM, SIZEITEM

... and replaced by attribute binding, e.g.

LAYER
    NAME "water"
    STATUS ON
    DATA "Hydro/Water"
    TYPE LINE
    LABELITEM "Name"
    LABELMAXSCALE 50000
    CLASS
       COLOR 0 0 255
       SYMBOL 'solid'
       SIZE [mySize]
       LABEL
          ANGLE AUTO
          TYPE truetype
          antialias true
          POSITION CC
          SIZE [myLabelSize]
          COLOR 0 0 255
          FONT arial
          OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
       END # label
    END # class
END # water layer


Sorry about this.

Daniel
