A couple of days ago, first release of Django 1.3 was made available. There are a number of new features available and a few set to be removed or replaced. The final release Django 1.3 is looking for a release mid to end January 2011.
Release notes are available here

- Class-based views
unittest2support- Configurable delete-cascade
- Contextual markers in translatable strings
Improved/Changed;
- Logging
- Extended static files handling
- PasswordInput default rendering behavior
- Clearable default widget for FileField
- New index on database session table
- No more naughty words
Being deprecated is the support of apache's mod_python. This will be completely removed at Django 1.5. I personally made the switch away from mod_python before I had even finished my first Django project. I have been using either mod_wsgi or fastcgi depending on the server & environment I am deploying to. This may change in future as support for other web servers grows - or doesn't.
