+Client
+======
+PyMongo 2.4 came with a new connection client; MongoClient_ and started the
+depreciation of the old :class:`~pymongo.connection.Connection`. MongoEngine
+now uses the latest `MongoClient` for connections.  By default operations were
+`safe` but if you turned them off or used the connection directly this will
+impact your queries.
+
+Querysets
+---------
+
+Safe
+^^^^
+
+`safe` has been depreciated in the new MongoClient connection.  Please use
+`write_concern` instead.  As `safe` always defaulted as `True` normally no code
+change is required. To disable confirmation of the write just pass `{"w": 0}`
+eg: ::
+
+   # Old
+   Animal(name="Dinasour").save(safe=False)
+
+   # new code:
+   Animal(name="Dinasour").save(write_concern={"w": 0})
+
+Write Concern
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+`write_options` has been replaced with `write_concern` to bring it inline with
+pymongo. To upgrade simply rename any instances where you used the `write_option`
+keyword  to `write_concern` like so::
+
+   # Old code:
+   Animal(name="Dinasour").save(write_options={"w": 2})
+
+   # new code:
+   Animal(name="Dinasour").save(write_concern={"w": 2})
