hi, I’m trying to replicate from: [GitHub - essenciary/genie-watch-tonight](https://github.com/essenciary/genie-watch-tonight) , but I’m getting this:

```julia
julia> Genie.newapp_mvc("Watch tonight")
ERROR: UndefVarError: newapp_mvc not defined
Stacktrace:
 [1] getproperty(x::Module, f::Symbol)
   @ Base .\Base.jl:31
 [2] top-level scope
   @ REPL[13]:1

```

Hello,  
It seems the newapp\* functions have been moved in the new Genie version.

> <https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl/issues/563>
>
> I was following the guides in https://genieframework.com/docs/genie/tutorials/De…veloping-Web-Services.html. However, I cannot find \`newapp\` family of function in \`Genie@v5\`. They does not exist in the source code of Genie, either:

> 
> In the end, I found that \`newapp\` might be migrated to \`Genie.Generator\` (https://github.com/GenieFramework/Genie.jl/pull/519) and found them there in. It would be better to mention such changes in the tutorial.
