+MongoEngine supports CPython 3.5 and newer as well as Pypy3.

+Language features not supported by all interpreters can not be used.
-Please also ensure that your code is properly converted by
+
-`2to3 <http://docs.python.org/library/2to3.html>`_ for Python 3 support.
+Python3 codebase
+----------------------
+
+Since 0.20, the codebase is exclusively Python 3.
+
+Earlier versions were exclusively Python2, and were relying on 2to3 to support Python3 installs.
+Travis runs the tests against the main Python 3.x versions.
+
 
 Style Guide
 -----------
 
-MongoEngine aims to follow `PEP8 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`_
+MongoEngine's codebase is auto-formatted with `black <https://github.com/python/black>`_, imports are ordered with `isort <https://pycqa.github.io/isort/>`_
-including 4 space indents and 79 character line limits.
+and other tools like flake8 are also used. Those tools will run as part of the CI and will fail in case the code is not formatted properly.
+
+To install all development tools, simply run the following commands:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ python -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+
+
+You can install `pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>`_ into your git hooks,
+to automatically check and fix any formatting issue before creating a
+git commit.
+
+To enable ``pre-commit`` simply run:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+    $ pre-commit install
+
+See the ``.pre-commit-config.yaml`` configuration file for more information
+on how it works.
+
+pre-commit will now run upon every commit and will reject anything that doesn't comply.
+
+You can also run all the checks with ``pre-commit run -a``, this is what is used in the CI.
 
 Testing
 -------
 
 All tests are run on `Travis <http://travis-ci.org/MongoEngine/mongoengine>`_
-and any pull requests are automatically tested by Travis. Any pull requests

+tests will take longer to be integrated and might be refused.
+
+You may also submit a simple failing test as a pull request if you don't know
+how to fix it, it will be easier for other people to work on it and it may get

 General Guidelines
 ------------------
 
 - Avoid backward breaking changes if at all possible.
+- If you *have* to introduce a breaking change, make it very clear in your
+  pull request's description. Also, describe how users of this package
+  should adapt to the breaking change in docs/upgrade.rst.
 - Write inline documentation for new classes and methods.
 - Write tests and make sure they pass (make sure you have a mongod
   running on the default port, then execute ``python setup.py test``
   from the cmd line to run the test suite).
-- Add yourself to AUTHORS.rst :)
+- Ensure tests pass on all supported Python, PyMongo, and MongoDB versions.
+  You can test various Python and PyMongo versions locally by executing
+  ``tox``. For different MongoDB versions, you can rely on our automated
+  Travis tests.
+- Add enhancements or problematic bug fixes to docs/changelog.rst.
+- Add yourself to AUTHORS :)

+
+Supported MongoDB Versions
+==========================
+MongoEngine is currently tested against MongoDB v3.4, v3.6 and v4.0. Future versions
+should be supported as well, but aren't actively tested at the moment. Make
+sure to open an issue or submit a pull request if you experience any problems
+with MongoDB version > 4.0.
 
 Installation
 ============
-If you have `setuptools <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_
+We recommend the use of `virtualenv <https://virtualenv.pypa.io/>`_ and of
-you can use ``easy_install -U mongoengine``. Otherwise, you can download the
+`pip <https://pip.pypa.io/>`_. You can then use ``python -m pip install -U mongoengine``.
-source from `GitHub <http://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine>`_ and run ``python
+You may also have `setuptools <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_
-setup.py install``.
+and thus you can use ``easy_install -U mongoengine``. Another option is
+`pipenv <https://docs.pipenv.org/>`_. You can then use ``pipenv install mongoengine``
+to both create the virtual environment and install the package. Otherwise, you can
+download the source from `GitHub <http://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine>`_ and
+run ``python setup.py install``.
+
+The support for Python2 was dropped with MongoEngine 0.20.0
 
 Dependencies
 ============
-- pymongo 2.1.1+
+All of the dependencies can easily be installed via `python -m pip <https://pip.pypa.io/>`_.
-- sphinx (optional - for documentation generation)
+At the very least, you'll need these two packages to use MongoEngine:
+
+- pymongo>=3.4
+
+If you utilize a ``DateTimeField``, you might also use a more flexible date parser:
+
+- dateutil>=2.1.0
+
+If you need to use an ``ImageField`` or ``ImageGridFsProxy``:
+
+- Pillow>=2.0.0
+
+If you need to use signals:
+
+- blinker>=1.3

 Tests
 =====
 To run the test suite, ensure you are running a local instance of MongoDB on
-the standard port, and run: ``python setup.py test``.
+the standard port and have ``pytest`` installed. Then, run ``python setup.py test``
+or simply ``pytest``.
+
+To run the test suite on every supported Python and PyMongo version, you can
+use ``tox``. You'll need to make sure you have each supported Python version
+installed in your environment and then:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    # Install tox
+    $ python -m pip install tox
+    # Run the test suites
+    $ tox
+
+If you wish to run a subset of tests, use the pytest convention:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    # Run all the tests in a particular test file
+    $ pytest tests/fields/test_fields.py
+    # Run only particular test class in that file
+    $ pytest tests/fields/test_fields.py::TestField

+- Add support for allowDiskUse on querysets #2468
+
+Changes in 0.22.1
+=================

+- Drop support for Python 3.5 by introducing f-strings in the codebase
+
+Changes in 0.21.0
+=================
+- Bug fix in DynamicDocument which is not parsing known fields in constructor like Document do #2412
+- When using pymongo >= 3.7, make use of Collection.count_documents instead of Collection.count
+    and Cursor.count that got deprecated in pymongo >= 3.7.
+    This should have a negative impact on performance of count see Issue #2219
+- Fix a bug that made the queryset drop the read_preference after clone().
+- Remove Py3.5 from CI as it reached EOL and add Python 3.9
+- Fix some issues related with db_field/field conflict in constructor #2414
+- BREAKING CHANGE: Fix the behavior of Doc.objects.limit(0) which should return all documents (similar to mongodb) #2311
+- Bug fix in ListField when updating the first item, it was saving the whole list, instead of
+    just replacing the first item (as usually done when updating 1 item of the list) #2392
+- Add EnumField: ``mongoengine.fields.EnumField``
+- Refactoring - Remove useless code related to Document.__only_fields and Queryset.only_fields

+- Fixed a bug causing inaccurate query results, while combining ``__raw__`` and regular filters for the same field #2264
+- Add support for the `elemMatch` projection operator in .fields() (e.g BlogPost.objects.fields(elemMatch__comments="test")) #2267
+- DictField validate failed without default connection (bug introduced in 0.19.0) #2239
+- Remove methods that were deprecated years ago:
+    - name parameter in Field constructor e.g `StringField(name="...")`, was replaced by db_field
+    - Queryset.slave_okay() was deprecated since pymongo3
+    - dropDups was dropped with MongoDB3
+    - ``Queryset._ensure_indexes`` and ``Queryset.ensure_indexes``, the right method to use is ``Document.ensure_indexes``
+- Added pre-commit for development/CI #2212
+- Renamed requirements-lint.txt to requirements-dev.txt #2212
+- Support for setting ReadConcern #2255
+
+Changes in 0.19.1
+=================
+- Tests require Pillow < 7.0.0 as it dropped Python2 support
+- DEPRECATION: The interface of ``QuerySet.aggregate`` method was changed, it no longer takes an unpacked list of
+    pipeline steps (*pipeline) but simply takes the pipeline list just like ``pymongo.Collection.aggregate`` does. #2079
+
+Changes in 0.19.0
+=================
+- BREAKING CHANGE: ``class_check`` and ``read_preference`` keyword arguments are no longer available when filtering a ``QuerySet``. #2112
+    - Instead of ``Doc.objects(foo=bar, read_preference=...)`` use ``Doc.objects(foo=bar).read_preference(...)``.
+    - Instead of ``Doc.objects(foo=bar, class_check=False)`` use ``Doc.objects(foo=bar).clear_cls_query(...)``.
+    - This change also renames the private ``QuerySet._initial_query`` attribute to ``_cls_query``.
+- BREAKING CHANGE: Removed the deprecated ``format`` param from ``QuerySet.explain``. #2113
+- BREAKING CHANGE: Renamed ``MongoEngineConnectionError`` to ``ConnectionFailure``. #2111
+    - If you catch/use ``MongoEngineConnectionError`` in your code, you'll have to rename it.
+- BREAKING CHANGE: Positional arguments when instantiating a document are no longer supported. #2103
+    - From now on keyword arguments (e.g. ``Doc(field_name=value)``) are required.
+- BREAKING CHANGE: A ``LazyReferenceField`` is now stored in the ``_data`` field of its parent as a ``DBRef``, ``Document``, or ``EmbeddedDocument`` (``ObjectId`` is no longer allowed). #2182
+- DEPRECATION: ``Q.empty`` & ``QNode.empty`` are marked as deprecated and will be removed in a next version of MongoEngine. #2210
+    - Added ability to check if Q or QNode are empty by parsing them to bool.
+    - Instead of ``Q(name="John").empty`` use ``not Q(name="John")``.
+- Fix updating/modifying/deleting/reloading a document that's sharded by a field with ``db_field`` specified. #2125
+- Only set no_cursor_timeout when requested (fixes an incompatibility with MongoDB 4.2) #2148
+- ``ListField`` now accepts an optional ``max_length`` parameter. #2110
+- Improve error message related to InvalidDocumentError #2180
+- Added BulkWriteError to replace NotUniqueError which was misleading in bulk write insert #2152
+- Added ability to compare Q and Q operations #2204
+- Added ability to use a db alias on query_counter #2194
+- Added ability to specify collations for querysets with ``Doc.objects.collation`` #2024
+- Fix updates of a list field by negative index #2094
+- Switch from nosetest to pytest as test runner #2114
+- The codebase is now formatted using ``black``. #2109
+- Documentation improvements:
+    - Documented how `pymongo.monitoring` can be used to log all queries issued by MongoEngine to the driver.
+
+Changes in 0.18.2
+=================
+- Replace deprecated PyMongo v2.x methods with their v3.x equivalents in the ``SequenceField``. #2097
+- Various code clarity and documentation improvements.
+
+Changes in 0.18.1
+=================
+- Fix a bug introduced in 0.18.0 which was causing ``Document.save`` to update all the fields instead of updating only the modified fields. This bug only occurred when using a custom PK. #2082
+- Add Python 3.7 to Travis CI. #2058
+
+Changes in 0.18.0
+=================

-=============================
-Using MongoEngine with Django
-=============================
-
-.. note :: Updated to support Django 1.4
-
-Connecting
-==========
-In your **settings.py** file, ignore the standard database settings (unless you
-also plan to use the ORM in your project), and instead call
-:func:`~mongoengine.connect` somewhere in the settings module.
-
-Authentication
 ==============
-MongoEngine includes a Django authentication backend, which uses MongoDB. The
+Django Support
-:class:`~mongoengine.django.auth.User` model is a MongoEngine
+==============
-:class:`~mongoengine.Document`, but implements most of the methods and
-attributes that the standard Django :class:`User` model does - so the two are
-moderately compatible. Using this backend will allow you to store users in
-MongoDB but still use many of the Django authentication infrastucture (such as
-the :func:`login_required` decorator and the :func:`authenticate` function). To
-enable the MongoEngine auth backend, add the following to you **settings.py**
-file::
 
-    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
+.. note:: Django support has been split from the main MongoEngine
-        'mongoengine.django.auth.MongoEngineBackend',
+    repository. The *legacy* Django extension may be found bundled with the
-    )
+    0.9 release of MongoEngine.
 
-The :mod:`~mongoengine.django.auth` module also contains a
-:func:`~mongoengine.django.auth.get_user` helper function, that takes a user's
-:attr:`id` and returns a :class:`~mongoengine.django.auth.User` object.
 
-.. versionadded:: 0.1.3
 
-Sessions
+Help Wanted!
-========
+------------
-Django allows the use of different backend stores for its sessions. MongoEngine
-provides a MongoDB-based session backend for Django, which allows you to use
-sessions in you Django application with just MongoDB. To enable the MongoEngine
-session backend, ensure that your settings module has
-``'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware'`` in the
-``MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`` field  and ``'django.contrib.sessions'`` in your
-``INSTALLED_APPS``. From there, all you need to do is add the following line
-into you settings module::
 
-    SESSION_ENGINE = 'mongoengine.django.sessions'
+The MongoEngine team is looking for help contributing and maintaining a new
-
+Django extension for MongoEngine! If you have Django experience and would like
-.. versionadded:: 0.2.1
+to help contribute to the project, please get in touch on the
-
+`mailing list <http://groups.google.com/group/mongoengine-users>`_ or by
-Storage
+simply contributing on
-=======
+`GitHub <https://github.com/MongoEngine/django-mongoengine>`_.
-With MongoEngine's support for GridFS via the :class:`~mongoengine.FileField`,
-it is useful to have a Django file storage backend that wraps this. The new
-storage module is called :class:`~mongoengine.django.storage.GridFSStorage`.
-Using it is very similar to using the default FileSystemStorage.::
-
-    from mongoengine.django.storage import GridFSStorage

     from mongoengine import connect
-    connect('project1', username='webapp', password='pwd123')

-:func:`~mongoengine.connect`::
 
-    connect('project1', host='mongodb://localhost/database_name')
+When using a connection string in URI format you should specify the connection details
+as the :attr:`host` to :func:`~mongoengine.connect`. In a web application context for instance, the URI
+is typically read from the config file::

-MongoEngine now supports :func:`~pymongo.replica_set_connection.ReplicaSetConnection`
+If the database requires authentication, you can specify it in the
-to use them please use a URI style connection and provide the `replicaSet` name in the
+URI. As each database can have its own users configured, you need to tell MongoDB
-connection kwargs.
+where to look for the user you are working with, that's what the ``?authSource=admin`` bit
+of the MongoDB connection string is for::
+
+    # Connects to 'my_db' database by authenticating
+    # with given credentials against the 'admin' database (by default as authSource isn't provided)
+    connect(host="mongodb://my_user:my_password@127.0.0.1:27017/my_db")
+
+    # Equivalent to previous connection but explicitly states that
+    # it should use admin as the authentication source database
+    connect(host="mongodb://my_user:my_password@hostname:port/my_db?authSource=admin")
+
+    # Connects to 'my_db' database by authenticating
+    # with given credentials against that same database
+    connect(host="mongodb://my_user:my_password@127.0.0.1:27017/my_db?authSource=my_db")
+
+The URI string can also be used to configure advanced parameters like ssl, replicaSet, etc. For more
+information or example about URI string, you can refer to the `official doc <https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/connection-string/>`_::
+
+    connect(host="mongodb://my_user:my_password@127.0.0.1:27017/my_db?authSource=admin&ssl=true&replicaSet=globaldb")
+
+.. note:: URI containing SRV records (e.g "mongodb+srv://server.example.com/") can be used as well
+
+Connect with keyword attributes
+===============================
+
+The second option for specifying the connection details is to provide the information as keyword
+attributes to :func:`~mongoengine.connect`::
+
+    connect('my_db', host='127.0.0.1', port=27017)
+
+If the database requires authentication, :attr:`username`, :attr:`password`
+and :attr:`authentication_source` arguments should be provided::
+
+    connect('my_db', username='my_user', password='my_password', authentication_source='admin')
+
+The set of attributes that :func:`~mongoengine.connect` recognizes includes but is not limited to:
+:attr:`host`, :attr:`port`, :attr:`read_preference`, :attr:`username`, :attr:`password`, :attr:`authentication_source`, :attr:`authentication_mechanism`,
+:attr:`replicaset`, :attr:`tls`, etc. Most of the parameters accepted by `pymongo.MongoClient <https://pymongo.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/pymongo/mongo_client.html#pymongo.mongo_client.MongoClient>`_
+can be used with :func:`~mongoengine.connect` and will simply be forwarded when instantiating the `pymongo.MongoClient`.
+
+.. note:: Database, username and password from URI string overrides
+    corresponding parameters in :func:`~mongoengine.connect`, this should
+    obviously be avoided: ::
+
+        connect(
+            db='test',
+            username='user',
+            password='12345',
+            host='mongodb://admin:qwerty@localhost/production'
+        )
+
+    will establish connection to ``production`` database using ``admin`` username and ``qwerty`` password.
+
+.. note:: Calling :func:`~mongoengine.connect` without argument will establish
+    a connection to the "test" database by default
+
+Read Preferences
+================
+
+As stated above, Read preferences are supported through the connection but also via individual
+queries by passing the read_preference ::
+
+    from pymongo import ReadPreference
+
+    Bar.objects().read_preference(ReadPreference.PRIMARY)
+    Bar.objects(read_preference=ReadPreference.PRIMARY)

+        connect(alias='users-books-db-alias', db='users-books-db')
 
         class User(Document):
             name = StringField()
 
-            meta = {"db_alias": "user-db"}
+            meta = {'db_alias': 'user-db-alias'}

-            meta = {"db_alias": "users-books-db"}
+            meta = {'db_alias': 'users-books-db-alias'}
+
+
+Disconnecting an existing connection
+------------------------------------
+The function :func:`~mongoengine.disconnect` can be used to
+disconnect a particular connection. This can be used to change a
+connection globally::
+
+        from mongoengine import connect, disconnect
+        connect('a_db', alias='db1')
+
+        class User(Document):
+            name = StringField()
+            meta = {'db_alias': 'db1'}
+
+        disconnect(alias='db1')
+
+        connect('another_db', alias='db1')
+
+.. note:: Calling :func:`~mongoengine.disconnect` without argument
+    will disconnect the "default" connection
+
+.. note:: Since connections gets registered globally, it is important
+    to use the `disconnect` function from MongoEngine and not the
+    `disconnect()` method of an existing connection (pymongo.MongoClient)
+
+.. note:: :class:`~mongoengine.Document` are caching the pymongo collection.
+    using `disconnect` ensures that it gets cleaned as well
+
+Context Managers
+================
+Sometimes you may want to switch the database or collection to query against.
+For example, archiving older data into a separate database for performance
+reasons or writing functions that dynamically choose collections to write
+a document to.
+
+Switch Database
+---------------
+The :class:`~mongoengine.context_managers.switch_db` context manager allows
+you to change the database alias for a given class allowing quick and easy
+access to the same User document across databases::
+
+    from mongoengine.context_managers import switch_db
+
+    class User(Document):
+        name = StringField()
+
+        meta = {'db_alias': 'user-db'}
+
+    with switch_db(User, 'archive-user-db') as User:
+        User(name='Ross').save()  # Saves the 'archive-user-db'
+
+
+Switch Collection
+-----------------
+The :func:`~mongoengine.context_managers.switch_collection` context manager
+allows you to change the collection for a given class allowing quick and easy
+access to the same Group document across collection::
+
+        from mongoengine.context_managers import switch_collection
+
+        class Group(Document):
+            name = StringField()
+
+        Group(name='test').save()  # Saves in the default db
+
+        with switch_collection(Group, 'group2000') as Group:
+            Group(name='hello Group 2000 collection!').save()  # Saves in group2000 collection
+
+
+.. note:: Make sure any aliases have been registered with
+    :func:`~mongoengine.register_connection` or :func:`~mongoengine.connect`
+    before using the context manager.

+        meta = {

+
+:attr:`index_cls` (Optional)

+    indexes exist in MongoDB each time a command is run. This can be disabled
+    in systems where indexes are managed separately. Disabling this will improve
+    performance.
+
+
+Compound Indexes and Indexing sub documents
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Compound indexes can be created by adding the Embedded field or dictionary
+field name to the index definition.
+
+Sometimes its more efficient to index parts of Embedded / dictionary fields,
+in this case use 'dot' notation to identify the value to index eg: `rank.title`
+
+.. _geospatial-indexes:
 
 Geospatial indexes
----------------------------
+------------------
+
+The best geo index for mongodb is the new "2dsphere", which has an improved
+spherical model and provides better performance and more options when querying.
+The following fields will explicitly add a "2dsphere" index:
+
+    - :class:`~mongoengine.fields.PointField`
+    - :class:`~mongoengine.fields.LineStringField`
+    - :class:`~mongoengine.fields.PolygonField`
+    - :class:`~mongoengine.fields.MultiPointField`
+    - :class:`~mongoengine.fields.MultiLineStringField`
+    - :class:`~mongoengine.fields.MultiPolygonField`
+
+As "2dsphere" indexes can be part of a compound index, you may not want the
+automatic index but would prefer a compound index.  In this example we turn off
+auto indexing and explicitly declare a compound index on ``location`` and ``datetime``::
+
+    class Log(Document):
+        location = PointField(auto_index=False)
+        datetime = DateTimeField()
+
+        meta = {

+Abstract classes
+================

+If you want to add some extra functionality to a group of Document classes but
+you don't need or want the overhead of inheritance you can use the

+===================
+Documents migration
+===================
+
+The structure of your documents and their associated mongoengine schemas are likely
+to change over the lifetime of an application. This section provides guidance and
+recommendations on how to deal with migrations.
+
+Due to the very flexible nature of mongodb, migrations of models aren't trivial and
+for people that know about `alembic` for `sqlalchemy`, there is unfortunately no equivalent
+library that will manage the migration in an automatic fashion for mongoengine.
+
+Example 1: Addition of a field
+==============================
+
+Let's start by taking a simple example of a model change and review the different option you
+have to deal with the migration.
+
+Let's assume we start with the following schema and save an instance:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class User(Document):
+        name = StringField()
+
+    User(name="John Doe").save()
+
+    # print the objects as they exist in mongodb
+    print(User.objects().as_pymongo())    # [{u'_id': ObjectId('5d06b9c3d7c1f18db3e7c874'), u'name': u'John Doe'}]
+
+On the next version of your application, let's now assume that a new field `enabled` gets added to the
+existing ``User`` model with a `default=True`. Thus you simply update the ``User`` class to the following:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class User(Document):
+        name = StringField(required=True)
+        enabled = BooleanField(default=True)
+
+Without applying any migration, we now reload an object from the database into the ``User`` class
+and checks its `enabled` attribute:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    assert User.objects.count() == 1
+    user = User.objects().first()
+    assert user.enabled is True
+    assert User.objects(enabled=True).count() == 0    # uh?
+    assert User.objects(enabled=False).count() == 0   # uh?
+
+    # this is consistent with what we have in the database
+    # in fact, 'enabled' does not exist
+    print(User.objects().as_pymongo().first())    # {u'_id': ObjectId('5d06b9c3d7c1f18db3e7c874'), u'name': u'John'}
+    assert User.objects(enabled=None).count() == 1
+
+As you can see, even if the document wasn't updated, mongoengine applies the default value seamlessly when it
+loads the pymongo dict into a ``User`` instance. At first sight it looks like you don't need to migrate the
+existing documents when adding new fields but this actually leads to inconsistencies when it comes to querying.
+
+In fact, when querying, mongoengine isn't trying to account for the default value of the new field and so
+if you don't actually migrate the existing documents, you are taking a risk that querying/updating
+will be missing relevant record.
+
+When adding fields/modifying default values, you can use any of the following to do the migration
+as a standalone script:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Use mongoengine to set a default value for a given field
+    User.objects().update(enabled=True)
+    # or use pymongo
+    user_coll = User._get_collection()
+    user_coll.update_many({}, {'$set': {'enabled': True}})
+
+
+Example 2: Inheritance change
+=============================
+
+Let's consider the following example:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class Human(Document):
+        name = StringField()
+        meta = {"allow_inheritance": True}
+
+    class Jedi(Human):
+        dark_side = BooleanField()
+        light_saber_color = StringField()
+
+    Jedi(name="Darth Vader", dark_side=True, light_saber_color="red").save()
+    Jedi(name="Obi Wan Kenobi", dark_side=False, light_saber_color="blue").save()
+
+    assert Human.objects.count() == 2
+    assert Jedi.objects.count() == 2
+
+    # Let's check how these documents got stored in mongodb
+    print(Jedi.objects.as_pymongo())
+    # [
+    #   {'_id': ObjectId('5fac4aaaf61d7fb06046e0f9'), '_cls': 'Human.Jedi', 'name': 'Darth Vader', 'dark_side': True, 'light_saber_color': 'red'},
+    #   {'_id': ObjectId('5fac4ac4f61d7fb06046e0fa'), '_cls': 'Human.Jedi', 'name': 'Obi Wan Kenobi', 'dark_side': False, 'light_saber_color': 'blue'}
+    # ]
+
+As you can observe, when you use inheritance, MongoEngine stores a field named '_cls' behind the scene to keep
+track of the Document class.
+
+Let's now take the scenario that you want to refactor the inheritance schema and:
+- Have the Jedi's with dark_side=True/False become GoodJedi's/DarkSith
+- get rid of the 'dark_side' field
+
+move to the following schemas:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # unchanged
+    class Human(Document):
+        name = StringField()
+        meta = {"allow_inheritance": True}
+
+    # attribute 'dark_side' removed
+    class GoodJedi(Human):
+        light_saber_color = StringField()
+
+    # new class
+    class BadSith(Human):
+        light_saber_color = StringField()
+
+MongoEngine doesn't know about the change or how to map them with the existing data
+so if you don't apply any migration, you will observe a strange behavior, as if the collection was suddenly
+empty.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # As a reminder, the documents that we inserted
+    # have the _cls field = 'Human.Jedi'
+
+    # Following has no match
+    # because the query that is used behind the scene is
+    # filtering on {'_cls': 'Human.GoodJedi'}
+    assert GoodJedi.objects().count() == 0
+
+    # Following has also no match
+    # because it is filtering on {'_cls': {'$in': ('Human', 'Human.GoodJedi', 'Human.BadSith')}}
+    # which has no match
+    assert Human.objects.count() == 0
+    assert Human.objects.first() is None
+
+    # If we bypass MongoEngine and make use of underlying driver (PyMongo)
+    # we can see that the documents are there
+    humans_coll = Human._get_collection()
+    assert humans_coll.count_documents({}) == 2
+    # print first document
+    print(humans_coll.find_one())
+    # {'_id': ObjectId('5fac4aaaf61d7fb06046e0f9'), '_cls': 'Human.Jedi', 'name': 'Darth Vader', 'dark_side': True, 'light_saber_color': 'red'}
+
+As you can see, first obvious problem is that we need to modify '_cls' values based on existing values of
+'dark_side' documents.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    humans_coll = Human._get_collection()
+    old_class = 'Human.Jedi'
+    good_jedi_class = 'Human.GoodJedi'
+    bad_sith_class = 'Human.BadSith'
+    humans_coll.update_many({'_cls': old_class, 'dark_side': False}, {'$set': {'_cls': good_jedi_class}})
+    humans_coll.update_many({'_cls': old_class, 'dark_side': True}, {'$set': {'_cls': bad_sith_class}})
+
+Let's now check if querying improved in MongoEngine:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    assert GoodJedi.objects().count() == 1  # Hoorah!
+    assert BadSith.objects().count() == 1   # Hoorah!
+    assert Human.objects.count() == 2       # Hoorah!
+
+    # let's now check that documents load correctly
+    jedi = GoodJedi.objects().first()
+    # raises FieldDoesNotExist: The fields "{'dark_side'}" do not exist on the document "Human.GoodJedi"
+
+In fact we only took care of renaming the _cls values but we havn't removed the 'dark_side' fields
+which does not exist anymore on the GoodJedi's and BadSith's models.
+Let's remove the field from the collections:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    humans_coll = Human._get_collection()
+    humans_coll.update_many({}, {'$unset': {'dark_side': 1}})
+
+.. note:: We did this migration in 2 different steps for the sake of example but it could have been combined
+    with the migration of the _cls fields: ::
+
+        humans_coll.update_many(
+            {'_cls': old_class, 'dark_side': False},
+            {
+                '$set': {'_cls': good_jedi_class},
+                '$unset': {'dark_side': 1}
+            }
+        )
+
+
+And verify that the documents now load correctly:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    jedi = GoodJedi.objects().first()
+    assert jedi.name == "Obi Wan Kenobi"
+
+    sith = BadSith.objects().first()
+    assert sith.name == "Darth Vader"
+
+
+An other way of dealing with this migration is to iterate over
+the documents and update/replace them one by one. This is way slower but
+it is often useful for complex migrations of Document models.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    for doc in humans_coll.find():
+        if doc['_cls'] == 'Human.Jedi':
+            doc['_cls'] =  'Human.BadSith' if doc['dark_side'] else 'Human.GoodJedi'
+            doc.pop('dark_side')
+            humans_coll.replace_one({'_id': doc['_id']}, doc)
+
+.. warning:: Be aware of this `flaw <https://groups.google.com/g/mongodb-user/c/AFC1ia7MHzk>`_ if you modify documents while iterating
+
+Example 4: Index removal
+========================
+
+If you remove an index from your Document class, or remove an indexed Field from your Document class,
+you'll need to manually drop the corresponding index. MongoEngine will not do that for you.
+
+The way to deal with this case is to identify the name of the index to drop with `index_information()`, and then drop
+it with `drop_index()`
+
+Let's for instance assume that you start with the following Document class
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class User(Document):
+        name = StringField(index=True)
+
+        meta = {"indexes": ["name"]}
+
+    User(name="John Doe").save()
+
+As soon as you start interacting with the Document collection (when `.save()` is called in this case),
+it would create the following indexes:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    print(User._get_collection().index_information())
+    # {
+    #  '_id_': {'key': [('_id', 1)], 'v': 2},
+    #  'name_1': {'background': False, 'key': [('name', 1)], 'v': 2},
+    # }
+
+Thus: '_id' which is the default index and 'name_1' which is our custom index.
+If you would remove the 'name' field or its index, you would have to call:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    User._get_collection().drop_index('name_1')
+
+.. note:: When adding new fields or new indexes, MongoEngine will take care of creating them
+    (unless `auto_create_index` is disabled) ::
+
+Recommendations
+===============
+
+- Write migration scripts whenever you do changes to the model schemas
+- Using :class:`~mongoengine.DynamicDocument` or ``meta = {"strict": False}`` may help to avoid some migrations or to have the 2 versions of your application to co-exist.
+- Write post-processing checks to verify that migrations script worked. See below
+
+Post-processing checks
+======================
+
+The following recipe can be used to sanity check a Document collection after you applied migration.
+It does not make any assumption on what was migrated, it will fetch 1000 objects randomly and
+run some quick checks on the documents to make sure the document looks OK. As it is, it will fail
+on the first occurrence of an error but this is something that can be adapted based on your needs.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def get_random_oids(collection, sample_size):
+        pipeline = [{"$project": {'_id': 1}}, {"$sample": {"size": sample_size}}]
+        return [s['_id'] for s in collection.aggregate(pipeline)]

+        random_oids = get_random_oids(doc_collection, sample_size)
+        return DocCls.objects(id__in=random_oids)
+
+    def check_documents(DocCls, sample_size):
+        for doc in get_random_documents(DocCls, sample_size):
+            # general validation (types and values)
+            doc.validate()
+
+            # load all subfields,
+            # this may trigger additional queries if you have ReferenceFields
+            # so it may be slow
+            for field in doc._fields:
+                try:
+                    getattr(doc, field)
+                except Exception:

docs/guide/validation.rst

@@ -0,0 +1,122 @@
+====================
+Document Validation
+====================
+
+By design, MongoEngine strictly validates the documents right before they are inserted in MongoDB
+and makes sure they are consistent with the fields defined in your models.
+
+MongoEngine makes the assumption that the documents that exists in the DB are compliant with the schema.
+This means that Mongoengine will not validate a document when an object is loaded from the DB into an instance
+of your model but this operation may fail under some circumstances (e.g. if there is a field in
+the document fetched from the database that is not defined in your model).
+
+
+Built-in validation
+===================
+
+Mongoengine provides different fields that encapsulate the corresponding validation
+out of the box. Validation runs when calling `.validate()` or `.save()`
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from mongoengine import Document, EmailField
+
+    class User(Document):
+        email = EmailField()
+        age = IntField(min_value=0, max_value=99)
+
+    user = User(email='invalid@', age=24)
+    user.validate()     # raises ValidationError (Invalid email address: ['email'])
+    user.save()         # raises ValidationError (Invalid email address: ['email'])
+
+    user2 = User(email='john.doe@garbage.com', age=1000)
+    user2.save()        # raises ValidationError (Integer value is too large: ['age'])
+
+Custom validation
+=================
+
+The following feature can be used to customize the validation:
+
+* Field `validation` parameter
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def not_john_doe(name):
+        if name == 'John Doe':
+            raise ValidationError("John Doe is not a valid name")
+
+    class Person(Document):
+        full_name = StringField(validation=not_john_doe)
+
+    Person(full_name='Billy Doe').save()
+    Person(full_name='John Doe').save()  # raises ValidationError (John Doe is not a valid name)
+
+
+* Document `clean` method
+
+This method is called as part of :meth:`~mongoengine.document.Document.save` and should be used to provide
+custom model validation and/or to modify some of the field values prior to validation.
+For instance, you could use it to automatically provide a value for a field, or to do validation
+that requires access to more than a single field.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class Essay(Document):
+        status = StringField(choices=('Published', 'Draft'), required=True)
+        pub_date = DateTimeField()
+
+        def clean(self):
+            # Validate that only published essays have a `pub_date`
+            if self.status == 'Draft' and self.pub_date is not None:
+                raise ValidationError('Draft entries should not have a publication date.')
+            # Set the pub_date for published items if not set.
+            if self.status == 'Published' and self.pub_date is None:
+                self.pub_date = datetime.now()
+
+.. note::
+    Cleaning is only called if validation is turned on and when calling
+    :meth:`~mongoengine.Document.save`.
+
+* Adding custom Field classes
+
+We recommend as much as possible to use fields provided by MongoEngine. However, it is also possible
+to subclass a Field and encapsulate some validation by overriding the `validate` method
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class AgeField(IntField):
+
+        def validate(self, value):
+            super(AgeField, self).validate(value)     # let IntField.validate run first
+            if value == 60:
+                self.error('60 is not allowed')
+
+    class Person(Document):
+        age = AgeField(min_value=0, max_value=99)
+
+    Person(age=20).save()   # passes
+    Person(age=1000).save() # raises ValidationError (Integer value is too large: ['age'])
+    Person(age=60).save()   # raises ValidationError (Person:None) (60 is not allowed: ['age'])
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   When overriding `validate`, use `self.error("your-custom-error")` instead of raising ValidationError explicitly,
+   it will provide a better context with the error message
+
+Skipping validation
+====================
+
+Although discouraged as it allows to violate fields constraints, if for some reason you need to disable
+the validation and cleaning of a document when you call :meth:`~mongoengine.document.Document.save`, you can use `.save(validate=False)`.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class Person(Document):
+        age = IntField(max_value=100)
+
+    Person(age=1000).save()    # raises ValidationError (Integer value is too large)
+
+    Person(age=1000).save(validate=False)
+    person = Person.objects.first()
+    assert person.age == 1000

+URLField's constructor no longer takes `verify_exists`
+
+0.15.0
+******
+
+0.14.0
+******
+This release includes a few bug fixes and a significant code cleanup. The most
+important change is that `QuerySet.as_pymongo` no longer supports a
+`coerce_types` mode. If you used it in the past, a) please let us know of your
+use case, b) you'll need to override `as_pymongo` to get the desired outcome.
+
+This release also makes the EmbeddedDocument not hashable by default. If you
+use embedded documents in sets or dictionaries, you might have to override
+`__hash__` and implement a hashing logic specific to your use case. See #1528
+for the reason behind this change.
+
+0.13.0
+******
+This release adds Unicode support to the `EmailField` and changes its
+structure significantly. Previously, email addresses containing Unicode
+characters didn't work at all. Starting with v0.13.0, domains with Unicode
+characters are supported out of the box, meaning some emails that previously
+didn't pass validation now do. Make sure the rest of your application can
+accept such email addresses. Additionally, if you subclassed the `EmailField`
+in your application and overrode `EmailField.EMAIL_REGEX`, you will have to
+adjust your code to override `EmailField.USER_REGEX`, `EmailField.DOMAIN_REGEX`,
+and potentially `EmailField.UTF8_USER_REGEX`.
+
+0.12.0
+******
+This release includes various fixes for the `BaseQuerySet` methods and how they
+are chained together. Since version 0.10.1 applying limit/skip/hint/batch_size
+to an already-existing queryset wouldn't modify the underlying PyMongo cursor.
+This has been fixed now, so you'll need to make sure that your code didn't rely
+on the broken implementation.
+
+Additionally, a public `BaseQuerySet.clone_into` has been renamed to a private
+`_clone_into`. If you directly used that method in your code, you'll need to
+rename its occurrences.
+
+0.11.0
+******
+This release includes a major rehaul of MongoEngine's code quality and
+introduces a few breaking changes. It also touches many different parts of
+the package and although all the changes have been tested and scrutinized,
+you're encouraged to thoroughly test the upgrade.
+
+First breaking change involves renaming `ConnectionError` to `MongoEngineConnectionError`.
+If you import or catch this exception, you'll need to rename it in your code.
+
+Second breaking change drops Python v2.6 support. If you run MongoEngine on
+that Python version, you'll need to upgrade it first.
+
+Third breaking change drops an old backward compatibility measure where
+`from mongoengine.base import ErrorClass` would work on top of
+`from mongoengine.errors import ErrorClass` (where `ErrorClass` is e.g.
+`ValidationError`). If you import any exceptions from `mongoengine.base`,
+change it to `mongoengine.errors`.
+
+0.10.8
+******
+This version fixed an issue where specifying a MongoDB URI host would override
+more information than it should. These changes are minor, but they still
+subtly modify the connection logic and thus you're encouraged to test your
+MongoDB connection before shipping v0.10.8 in production.
+
+0.10.7
+******
+
+`QuerySet.aggregate_sum` and `QuerySet.aggregate_average` are dropped. Use
+`QuerySet.sum` and `QuerySet.average` instead which use the aggreation framework
+by default from now on.
+
+0.9.0
+*****
+
+The 0.8.7 package on pypi was corrupted.  If upgrading from 0.8.7 to 0.9.0 please follow: ::
+
+    python -m pip uninstall pymongo
+    python -m pip uninstall mongoengine
+    python -m pip install pymongo==2.8
+    python -m pip install mongoengine
+
+0.8.7
+*****
+
+Calling reload on deleted / nonexistent documents now raises a DoesNotExist
+exception.
+
+
+0.8.2 to 0.8.3
+**************
+
+Minor change that may impact users:
+
+DynamicDocument fields are now stored in creation order after any declared
+fields.  Previously they were stored alphabetically.
+
+
+0.7 to 0.8
+**********
+
+There have been numerous backwards breaking changes in 0.8.  The reasons for
+these are to ensure that MongoEngine has sane defaults going forward and that it
+performs the best it can out of the box.  Where possible there have been
+FutureWarnings to help get you ready for the change, but that hasn't been
+possible for the whole of the release.
+
+.. warning:: Breaking changes - test upgrading on a test system before putting
+    live. There maybe multiple manual steps in migrating and these are best honed
+    on a staging / test system.
+
+Python and PyMongo
+==================
+
+MongoEngine requires python 2.6 (or above) and pymongo 2.5 (or above)
+
+Data Model
 ==========
 
+Inheritance
+-----------
+
+The inheritance model has changed, we no longer need to store an array of
+:attr:`types` with the model we can just use the classname in :attr:`_cls`.
+This means that you will have to update your indexes for each of your
+inherited classes like so: ::
+
+    # 1. Declaration of the class
+    class Animal(Document):
+        name = StringField()
+        meta = {
+            'allow_inheritance': True,
+            'indexes': ['name']
+        }
+
+    # 2. Remove _types
+    collection = Animal._get_collection()
+    collection.update({}, {"$unset": {"_types": 1}}, multi=True)
+
+    # 3. Confirm extra data is removed
+    count = collection.find({'_types': {"$exists": True}}).count()
+    assert count == 0
+
+    # 4. Remove indexes
+    info = collection.index_information()
+    indexes_to_drop = [key for key, value in info.items()
+                       if '_types' in dict(value['key'])]
+    for index in indexes_to_drop:
+        collection.drop_index(index)
+
+    # 5. Recreate indexes
+    Animal.ensure_indexes()
+
+
+Document Definition
+-------------------
+
+The default for inheritance has changed - it is now off by default and
+:attr:`_cls` will not be stored automatically with the class.  So if you extend
+your :class:`~mongoengine.Document` or :class:`~mongoengine.EmbeddedDocuments`
+you will need to declare :attr:`allow_inheritance` in the meta data like so: ::
+
+    class Animal(Document):
+        name = StringField()
+
+        meta = {'allow_inheritance': True}
+
+Previously, if you had data in the database that wasn't defined in the Document
+definition, it would set it as an attribute on the document.  This is no longer
+the case and the data is set only in the ``document._data`` dictionary: ::
+
+    >>> from mongoengine import *
+    >>> class Animal(Document):
+    ...    name = StringField()
+    ...
+    >>> cat = Animal(name="kit", size="small")
+
+    # 0.7
+    >>> cat.size
+    u'small'
+
+    # 0.8
+    >>> cat.size
+    Traceback (most recent call last):
+      File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
+    AttributeError: 'Animal' object has no attribute 'size'
+
+The Document class has introduced a reserved function `clean()`, which will be
+called before saving the document. If your document class happens to have a method
+with the same name, please try to rename it.
+
+    def clean(self):
+        pass
+
+ReferenceField
+--------------
+
+ReferenceFields now store ObjectIds by default - this is more efficient than
+DBRefs as we already know what Document types they reference::
+
+    # Old code
+    class Animal(Document):
+        name = ReferenceField('self')
+
+    # New code to keep dbrefs
+    class Animal(Document):
+        name = ReferenceField('self', dbref=True)
+
+To migrate all the references you need to touch each object and mark it as dirty
+eg::
+
+    # Doc definition
+    class Person(Document):
+        name = StringField()
+        parent = ReferenceField('self')
+        friends = ListField(ReferenceField('self'))
+
+    # Mark all ReferenceFields as dirty and save
+    for p in Person.objects:
+        p._mark_as_changed('parent')
+        p._mark_as_changed('friends')
+        p.save()
+
+`An example test migration for ReferenceFields is available on github
+<https://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine/blob/master/tests/migration/refrencefield_dbref_to_object_id.py>`_.
+
+.. Note:: Internally mongoengine handles ReferenceFields the same, so they are
+   converted to DBRef on loading and ObjectIds or DBRefs depending on settings
+   on storage.
+
+UUIDField
+---------
+
+UUIDFields now default to storing binary values::
+
+    # Old code
+    class Animal(Document):
+        uuid = UUIDField()
+
+    # New code
+    class Animal(Document):
+        uuid = UUIDField(binary=False)
+
+To migrate all the uuids you need to touch each object and mark it as dirty
+eg::
+
+    # Doc definition
+    class Animal(Document):
+        uuid = UUIDField()
+
+    # Mark all UUIDFields as dirty and save
+    for a in Animal.objects:
+        a._mark_as_changed('uuid')
+        a.save()
+
+`An example test migration for UUIDFields is available on github
+<https://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine/blob/master/tests/migration/uuidfield_to_binary.py>`_.
+
+DecimalField
+------------
+
+DecimalFields now store floats - previously it was storing strings and that
+made it impossible to do comparisons when querying correctly.::
+
+    # Old code
+    class Person(Document):
+        balance = DecimalField()
+
+    # New code
+    class Person(Document):
+        balance = DecimalField(force_string=True)
+
+To migrate all the DecimalFields you need to touch each object and mark it as dirty
+eg::
+
+    # Doc definition
+    class Person(Document):
+        balance = DecimalField()
+
+    # Mark all DecimalField's as dirty and save
+    for p in Person.objects:
+        p._mark_as_changed('balance')
+        p.save()
+
+.. note:: DecimalFields have also been improved with the addition of precision
+    and rounding.  See :class:`~mongoengine.fields.DecimalField` for more information.
+
+`An example test migration for DecimalFields is available on github
+<https://github.com/MongoEngine/mongoengine/blob/master/tests/migration/decimalfield_as_float.py>`_.
+
+Cascading Saves
+---------------
+To improve performance document saves will no longer automatically cascade.
+Any changes to a Document's references will either have to be saved manually or
+you will have to explicitly tell it to cascade on save::
+
+    # At the class level:
+    class Person(Document):
+        meta = {'cascade': True}
+
+    # Or on save:
+    my_document.save(cascade=True)
+
+Storage
+-------
+
+Document and Embedded Documents are now serialized based on declared field order.
+Previously, the data was passed to mongodb as a dictionary and which meant that
+order wasn't guaranteed - so things like ``$addToSet`` operations on
+:class:`~mongoengine.EmbeddedDocument` could potentially fail in unexpected
+ways.
+
+If this impacts you, you may want to rewrite the objects using the
+``doc.mark_as_dirty('field')`` pattern described above.  If you are using a
+compound primary key then you will need to ensure the order is fixed and match
+your EmbeddedDocument to that order.
+
+Querysets
+=========
+
+Attack of the clones
+--------------------
+
+Querysets now return clones and should no longer be considered editable in
+place.  This brings us in line with how Django's querysets work and removes a
+long running gotcha.  If you edit your querysets inplace you will have to
+update your code like so: ::
+
+    # Old code:
+    mammals = Animal.objects(type="mammal")
+    mammals.filter(order="Carnivora")       # Returns a cloned queryset that isn't assigned to anything - so this will break in 0.8
+    [m for m in mammals]                    # This will return all mammals in 0.8 as the 2nd filter returned a new queryset
+
+    # Update example a) assign queryset after a change:
+    mammals = Animal.objects(type="mammal")
+    carnivores = mammals.filter(order="Carnivora") # Reassign the new queryset so filter can be applied
+    [m for m in carnivores]                        # This will return all carnivores
+
+    # Update example b) chain the queryset:
+    mammals = Animal.objects(type="mammal").filter(order="Carnivora")  # The final queryset is assgined to mammals
+    [m for m in mammals]                                               # This will return all carnivores
+
+Len iterates the queryset
+-------------------------
+
+If you ever did `len(queryset)` it previously did a `count()` under the covers,
+this caused some unusual issues.  As `len(queryset)` is most often used by
+`list(queryset)` we now cache the queryset results and use that for the length.
+
+This isn't as performant as a `count()` and if you aren't iterating the
+queryset you should upgrade to use count::
+
+    # Old code
+    len(Animal.objects(type="mammal"))
+
+    # New code
+    Animal.objects(type="mammal").count()
+
+
+.only() now inline with .exclude()
+----------------------------------
+
+The behaviour of `.only()` was highly ambiguous, now it works in mirror fashion
+to `.exclude()`.  Chaining `.only()` calls will increase the fields required::
+
+    # Old code
+    Animal.objects().only(['type', 'name']).only('name', 'order')  # Would have returned just `name`
+
+    # New code
+    Animal.objects().only('name')
+
+    # Note:
+    Animal.objects().only(['name']).only('order')  # Now returns `name` *and* `order`
+
+
+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})
+
+
+Indexes
+=======
+
+Index methods are no longer tied to querysets but rather to the document class.
+Although `QuerySet._ensure_indexes` and `QuerySet.ensure_index` still exist.
+They should be replaced with :func:`~mongoengine.Document.ensure_indexes` /
+:func:`~mongoengine.Document.ensure_index`.
+
+SequenceFields
