Newforms is the replacement for the old manipulator framework. The old forms framework was based around the concept of Manipulators. The manipulator framework was starting to become a maintenance problem, as their were some problems with the underlying architecture that were exposing some nasty bugs. So - we went back to the drawing board, and the result is newforms. The format for defining forms, fields, and widgets is much cleaner and much more extensible. The forms themselves look the same (they are just HTML, after all) - but the view code you use to interact with them is very different. Oldforms (and manipulators) are now deprecated; they will remain in the next Django release, but will not be present in v1.0. In short, if you are starting out with Django, newforms is what you should be using.
