The Postman v10 release in Q3 of 2022 introduced the Postman CLI. If you are interested to know whether you should move from Newman to Postman CLI, please go through this: https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman-cli/postman-cli-overview

Here is a direct comparison table: Postman CLI Vs Newman: https://learning.postman.com/docs/postman-cli/postman-cli-overview/#comparing-the-postman-cli-and-newman

This should help to decide which command-line companion to use:

My 2 cents: Of course, Newman is not deprecated (yet) but I think it can be the case that the Postman team will work more actively on Postman CLI than Newman. If you are an existing Newman user, there is no push right now to move to Postman CLI. However, if you are just getting started with grokking backend automation with Postman then give it a shot to Postman CLI.
