* methods still written in the old API should be automatically bridged by the
ORM, no need to switch to the old API, just call them as if they were a new
API method. See :ref:`reference/orm/oldapi/bridging` for more details.

* ``fields.related`` and ``fields.function`` are replaced by using a normal
- field type with either a ``related`` or a ``compute`` parameter
-* ``depends`` on field compute methods **must be complete**, it must list
- **all** the fields and sub-fields which the compute method uses. It is
- better to have too many dependencies (will recompute the field in cases
- where that is not needed) than not enough (will forget to recompute the
- field and then values will be incorrect)
