 See [http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/branches/newforms-admin/docs/admin.txt#L506 this documentation] for more details on field options for inline classes
 
+=== Refactored inner Admin ```js``` option to media definitions ===
+
+In [5926] a new method of dealing with media definitions was added. It is now
+much more flexible and allows media on more than just a {{{ModelAdmin}}}
+classes.
+
+An example:
+{{{
+#!python
+
+# OLD:
+class MyModel(models.Model):
+    # not relavent, but here for show
+    field1 = models.CharField(max_length=100)
+    
+    class Admin:
+        js = (
+            "/static/my_code.js",
+        )
+
+# NEW:
+# in admin.py
+
+class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
+    class Media:
+        js = (
+            "/static/my_code.js",
+        )
+}}}
+
+One very subtle thing to note is previously with trunk the documentation stated:
+
+    If you use relative URLs — URLs that don’t start with {{{http://}}} or {{{/}}} — then the admin site will automatically prefix these links with {{{settings.ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX}}}.
+
+Which is still partially true with newforms-admin, but now when using relative URLs {{{settings.MEDIA_URL}}} is prepended and '''not''' {{{settings.ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX}}}. If you are still looking for the old behavior you can accomplish it by doing the following:
+
+{{{
+#!python
+
+from django.conf import settings
+
+class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
+    class Media:
+        js = (
+            settings.ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX + "some_file.js",
+        )
+}}}
+
+Make sure the value of {{{settings.ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX}}} is a proper absolute URL otherwise it will be treated the same as a relative URL.
+
 === Moved raw_id_admin from the model definition ===
