They were replaced by some other calls. For example the following is a
snippet which ports the old code to the new API:
- address, current->uid);
+ address, current_uid());
The commit 1330deb0f6e89525c8e9fcbd6b13522c9243bfc0 is a good example of
what are the new replacements.
This is all that I know,
