I read in the documentation that the template_object_name has been
replaced with context_object_name. But when I try to get the ListView of a
model, it doesnt work with context_object_name but works with
template_object_name. I also tried the DetailView. In DetailView, it seems
that replacement has been done because I got an error when I tried to use
template_object_name but DetailView worked as expected with
context_object_name.

Comment:
template_object_name was definitely replaced with context_object_name when
changing from function to class-based generic views.
If you grep the source code for 1.5, you can see that template_object_name
does not appear any where in the code:
{{{
[django]$ git checkout 1.5
HEAD is now at b170c07... [1.5.x] Correct final element of version tuple.
[django]$ git grep template_object_name
[django]$
}}}
Note [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/generic-views-migration
/#the-list-suffix-on-list-views the warning in the docs] that the
template_object_name was appended with the suffix '_list', but in a class-
based ListView, the context_object_name is used verbatim.
