* Support for representing files as strings was removed. Use `django.core.files.base.ContentFile` instead.
* Support for representing uploaded files as dictionaries was removed. Use `django.core.files.uploadedfile.SimpleUploadedFile` instead.
* The `filename`, `file_name`, `file_size`, and `chuck` properties of `UploadedFile` were removed. Use the `name`, `name`, `size`, and `chunks` properties instead, respectively.
* The `get_FIELD_filename`, `get_FIELD_url`, `get_FIELD_size`, and `save_FIELD_file` methods for Models with `FileField` fields were removed. Instead, use the `path`, `url`, and `size` attributes and `save` method on the field itself, respectively.
* The `get_FIELD_width` and `get_FIELD_height` methods for Models with `ImageField` fields were removed. Use the `width` and `height` attributes on the field itself instead.
* The dispatcher `connect`, `disconnect`, `send`, and `sendExact` functions were removed. Use the signal object's own `connect`, `disconnect`, `send`, and `send` methods instead, respectively.
* The `form_for_model` and `form_for_instance` functions were removed. Use a `ModelForm` subclass instead.
* Support for importing `django.newforms` was removed. Use `django.forms` instead.
* Support for importing `django.utils.images` was removed. Use `django.core.files.images` instead.
* Support for the `follow` argument in the `create_object` and `update_object` generic views was removed. Use the `django.forms` package and the new `form_class` argument instead.

* The API now more closely matches a proper file API. This unfortunately means a few backwards-incompatible renamings; see BackwardsIncompatibleChanges. This refs #7593.
* While we were at it, renamed chunk() to chunks() to clarify that it's an iterator.
* Temporary uploaded files now property use the tempfile library behind the scenes which should ensure better cleanup of tempfiles (refs #7593 again).
Thanks to Mike Axiak for the bulk of this patch.

A description of the new features can be found in the new [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/upload_handing/ upload handling documentation]; the executive summary is that Django will now happily handle uploads of large files without issues.
This changes the representation of uploaded files from dictionaries to bona fide objects; see BackwardsIncompatibleChanges for details.
