Maypole

Changes for version 2.11

Deprecated: Directly accessing the attributes of the request object, or the parameters in $r->params, or anything else, is DEPRECATED and likely to break in future releases. Be good, and use proper method calls.
- Maypole no longer uses Class::DBI::AsForm, instead Maypole::Model::CDBI::AsForm has replaced it.
Incompatible API changes: Maypole
- is_applicable() deprecated for is_model_applicable(). is_applicable is an alias for is_model_applicable now.
- Maypole::Constants
  - ERROR constant now 500, previously -1 (bug #18901)
- Maypole::Model
  - delete and search actions are now deprecated - use do_search and do_delete instead
- Maypole::View
  - table name rather than moniker is used to find templates
