Rename get_{sender,receiver} to new_{sender,receiver}

Using `get_` as a prefix gives the idea that one is always getting the
same object, but these methods are indeed creating new objects.

 For now the documentation is pretty scarce but we will be improving it with
 time.
 
-## Upgrading
+## Upgrading (breaking changes)
 
 * You need to make sure to use [timezone-aware] `datetime` objects when using
   the timestamp returned by [`Timer`], Otherwise you will get an exception.
 
+* Channels methods `get_receiver()` and `get_sender()` have been renamed to
+  `new_receiver()` and `new_sender()` respectively. This is to make it more
+  clear that new objects are being created.
