What's new in Django 1.4
========================
+``SELECT FOR UPDATE`` support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Django 1.4 now includes a :meth:`QuerySet.select_for_update()
+<django.db.models.query.QuerySet.select_for_update>` method which generates a
+``SELECT ... FOR UPDATE`` SQL query. This will lock rows until the end of the
+transaction, meaning that other transactions cannot modify or delete rows
+matched by a ``FOR UPDATE`` query.
+
+For more details, see the documentation for
+:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.select_for_update`.
