This change may be slightly backwards incompatible, if existing tests need to test transactional behavior, or if they rely on invalid assumptions or a specific test case ordering. For the first case, django.test.TransactionTestCase should be used. TransactionTestCase is also a quick fix to get around test case errors revealed by the new rollback approach, but a better long-term fix is to correct the test case. See the testing doc for full details.

* 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.
