    The ``FloatField`` form field and ``DecimalField`` model and form fields
82
 
    are new in the development version.

    One thing to note is that ``modelformset_factory`` uses ``formset_factory``

    This means that a model formset is just an extension of a basic formset
 
416
    that knows how to interact with a particular model.
