Which C++ idioms are deprecated in C++11?

With the new standard, there are new ways of doing things, and many are nicer than the old ways, but the old way is still fine. It’s also clear that the new standard doesn’t officially deprecate very much, for backward compatibility reasons. So the question that remains is:

What old ways of coding are definitely inferior to C++11 styles, and what can we now do instead?

In answering this, you may skip the obvious things like “use auto variables”.
