Introduced new create_default field argument. If set to true, mongoengine will automagically create an instance of the desired document class (useful if using EmbeddedDocumentField for example):

Browse Source 
class SubDoc(EmbeddedDocument):
        url = URLField()

    class MyDoc(Document):
        subdoc = EmbeddedDocumentField(SubDoc, create_default=True)

With create_default MyDoc().subdoc is automatically instantiated. Hint: default=SubDoc() WON'T work (that's why I've introduced create_default)
