5.0 Deprecation Warnings

The following functionality is considered deprecated for the 5.0 release.

1. The mpromise promises library. Mongoose 5.0 will use native promises by default if available, otherwise no promises. You will still be able to set a custom promises library using mongoose.Promise = require('bluebird');, however, mpromise will not be supported.

2. #3512: Throwing cast errors when calling .update(). Mongoose 4.x currently throws an exception if the criteria or update passed to MyModel.update() fails to cast. Mongoose 5.0 will communicate this error in the callback (or by rejecting the promise).
