Description:
The API function node_type_get_name() was changed to node_type_get_label() to get the human-readable name of the content type.
Drupal 7
$title = t('Add new @node_type', array('@node_type' => node_type_get_name($type)));
Drupal 8
$title = t('Add new @node_type', array('@node_type' => node_type_get_label($type)));
Function
_node_extract_type() removed in favour of node_type_get_base(), whose parameter was changed to accept a content type name not a full node object.
Drupal 7
$base = node_type_get_base($node);
return module_hook($base, $hook);
Drupal 8
$base = node_type_get_base($type);
return module_hook($base, $hook) ? $base . '_' . $hook : FALSE;
Added new API function
node_get_type_label() to return a content type name of the node.
Drupal 7
$type_name = node_type_get_name($node);
drupal_set_title(t('<em>Edit @type</em> @title', array('@type' => $type_name, '@title' => $node->title)), PASS_THROUGH);
Drupal 8
drupal_set_title(t('<em>Edit @type</em> @title', array('@type' => node_get_type_label($node), '@title' => $node->label())), PASS_THROUGH);
