You mean -- other than the release notes [1]?

If you cast your mind back, upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2 wasn't a problem
-- *unless* you opted into new features like CSRF. The new CSRF
handling wasn't turned on by default as the result of an update.

The same rules apply this time. If you're not opting into any new
features, then upgrading won't require any specific actions, other
than addressing any backwards incompatibility issues that affect your
specific install (which are all listed in the release notes).

As for opting into new features -- well, the depends on the feature
you want to adopt. However, the only new feature that should cause
require a major effort is modifying your code to use generic views --
and there is a migration guide specifically to describe the issues
involved [2] (and that migration guide is linked in the release
notes).
