+'''Status: Done'''
+
+Because there's no longer a concept of {{{module_name}}}, the "info_dicts" passed to [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/generic_views/ generic views] no longer accept {{{"app_label"}}} and {{{"module_name"}}}. Instead, pass the parameter {{{"model"}}}, which should be your model class.

+Old:

+    'app_label': 'blog',
+    'module_name': 'entries'

+'''Status: Done'''
+
+Because there's no longer a concept of {{{module_name}}}, [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/generic_views/ generic views] no longer create templates based on the {{{module_name}}}. Wherever they used {{{module_name}}}, they now use {{{model_name}}}, a lowercase version of the model name.
+
+Note that {{{app_label}}} remains the same.
