Comment (by alasdairnicol):

 I have created a pull request https://github.com/django/django/pull/4768
 which documents form.changed_data.

 I haven't addressed the comment that tim refers to. Changing the
 implementation of ``has_changed`` to use a hidden field would have
 backwards incompatibility implications for `form.has_changed()` (which is
 documented) as well.

 I may have misunderstood the suggestion in the comments, but am not sure
 that the the hidden field approach is better. Not every form is
 instantiated from a `request.POST` or request.GET that contains a hidden
 field.
