Yes, But directly from the BBC site:
"Asylum of the Daleks was packed with surprises but one of the biggest was the appearance of Jenna-Louise Coleman who made her Doctor Who5b4 debut in tonights episode.
Jenna-Louise will be returning as the Doctors companion but she made her first appearance in the show tonight, and said: Boo! Hello! Hope we gave you a good surprise! Thanks to all the fans who kept it quiet and made it so! More to come watch this space!
Steven Moffat, Head Writer and Executive Producer, thanked fans and the press for keeping the secret:
I hope you all got a nice surprise when Jenna popped up in Doctor Who several months early. If so, that surprise came to you courtesy of the frankly magnificent ladies and gentlemen of the press, and of the many Doctor Who forums and blogs too. This show has been seen at four separate screenings, across four different countries and yet not one person gave one spoiler. From all of us on Doctor Who, a heartfelt thank you for helping us tell our story. -

Yes, she has been confirmed as the new companion. Though we don't yet know what the new companion's relation to Oswin is.
I'm just saying that no one has confirmed that her name is "Clara." She
could
be named Clara, but I think we'll have to wait and see. The supposed confirmation of the name came from a fan who overheard people on set saying Clara. Hardly a reliable source, even though it may be true. -

Oswin Oswald is NOT Clara Oswin. you can tell by the names. if you saw the Christmas promo, Clara looks like she's from an older era/time period. she's wearing like pretty fancy, old-style clothes, so she's probably a person from the distant past. Oswin Oswald is someone who seems like she could be from the future since she was on that Alaska ship or something who had tech enough to wipe out all traces of the Doctor, so she's likely from the very far future to even be able to land on the asylum as they did. so from how it seems and from what other Whovians said, it could be said that Oswin is a descendent from Clara herself by several generations.
The Doctor never really saw how Oswin really looked like cuz she was already a dalek when he saw her, so i bet the Doctor will never make that connection until later. it will be really nice to see that we'll know this little insider and be able to connect it all before the Doctor himself does
also, Jenna's too awesome of an actress to JUST show up once and die in a single episode! -

what i said wasn't much of a contradiction anyway. bet is it is bound to happen and i don't know about you, but if you're watching Doctor Who, contradictions are the last thing you should be worrying about.

Whomever is in charge of casting for the Doctor Who series is a genius. I hate to see one companion go, just like I hate it when a Doctor (actor) has to leave the show, but so far they just keep picking fantastic actors and actresses to fill the roles. It seems like each companion that comes along (for me at least) is the best one yet to 2000come along. I really liked Karen as well, but I've liked all of them since the new series has started.
And I really like Jenna-Louise Coleman a lot. I knew from the first episode she was in that she would make a good companion for the Doctor. She has tons of charisma and charm and she's quite cute. She's a really good complement to the Doctor and I hope she stays a while. She's funny and quirky and a little sarcastic. What more could you want?
