The best guide is checking the release notes of 1.3 and 1.4. They
should contain all the deprecated and backwards incompatible changes.
Missing or hard to understand parts of the release notes are valuable
knowledge to Django's developers, so please inform about those if you
see something.

You should also run your code with full warnings under 1.2. If you
don't get any warnings about deprecation under 1.2, in principle you
should be able to just update to 1.4.
