+== Newforms: form-specific clean_*() methods name change ==
+
+If you have any form-specific cleaning methods in a newforms.Form subclass, they need to be renamed, as of [5231]. Change code that looks like this
+{{{
+#!/python
+class SomeForm(Form)
+   some_field = ...
+   ...
+   def clean_some_field(self):
+      ...
+}}}
+to this
+{{{
+#!/python
+class SomeForm(Form)
+   some_field = ...
+   ...
+   def do_clean_some_field(self):
+      ...
+}}}
+(the prefix of the function changes from {{{clean_}}} to {{{do_clean_}}}). The need for this change is demonstrated by the test in [5231]. Prior to that commit, the test would fail.
