Neuauflage and Neufassung can both refer to a revised new version of a book. Neuauflage mainly refers to the new publication, while Neufassung highlights the reformulation of the text. Neuauflage is appropriate for another edition; when the text has been changed substantially, Neufassung is more precise.
