Comment(by realityexists):

 I'm getting a lot of these warnings for deprecated functions logged now
 and I'm not sure it would be safe to move to the new function names, since
 not all databases running my code my have upgraded to 2.1.

 It's too late now for 2.1, but in future it would be good to get an "in-
 between" release for such changes that provides both old and new function
 names without a warning. So for example 2.2 adds a new function name and
 documents that the old one is deprecated, but doesn't log a warning. 2.3
 then adds a warning. This gives users time to change their code more
 safely.
