``reverse_lazy``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A lazily evaluated version of :func:`django.core.urlresolvers.reverse` was
added to allow using URL reversals before the project's URLConf gets loaded.
+Translating URL patterns
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Django 1.4 gained the ability to look for a language prefix in the URL pattern
+when using the new :func:`django.conf.urls.i18n.i18n_patterns` helper function.
+Additionally, it's now possible to define translatable URL patterns using
+:func:`~django.utils.translation.ugettext_lazy`. See
+:ref:`url-internationalization` for more information about the language prefix
+and how to internationalize URL patterns.

+No wrapping of exceptions in ``TEMPLATE_DEBUG`` mode
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In previous versions of Django, whenever the :setting:`TEMPLATE_DEBUG` setting
+was ``True``, any exception raised during template rendering (even exceptions
+unrelated to template syntax) were wrapped in ``TemplateSyntaxError`` and
+re-raised. This was done in order to provide detailed template source location
+information in the debug 500 page.
+
+In Django 1.4, exceptions are no longer wrapped. Instead, the original
+exception is annotated with the source information. This means that catching
+exceptions from template rendering is now consistent regardless of the value of
+:setting:`TEMPLATE_DEBUG`, and there's no need to catch and unwrap
+``TemplateSyntaxError`` in order to catch other errors.
