    * The following obsolete interfaces, classes and methods have been
removed:
          o The IAsserter interface
          o The AbstractAsserter class
          o The Assertion class
          o The AssertionFailureMessage class
          o The old NUnit.Framework.TestCase class used for inheriting test
classes
          o The Assert.DoAssert() method
          o The ExpectedExceptionAttribute(Type, string) constructor
          o The ExpectedExceptionAttribute(string, string) constructor 

Of these, IAsserter, AbstractAsserter, AssertionFailureMessage and
DoAssert are internal. Assertion you already know about.

If you inherit from NUnit.Framework.TestCase, then you need to convert
to use of attributes for the fixture, tests, setup and teardown.

If you use ExpectedException with an expected message as the second
argument, just replace it with the named parameter ExpectedMessage.

However, all of these will keep working in 2.4 if you miss them, so
it's "only" a future problem.
