Documentation inconsistency for URLField verify_exists param for v1.2

Description

"class URLField([verify_exists=False, max_length=200, options])

A CharField for a URL. Has one extra optional argument:

URLField.verify_exists

If True (the default), the URL given will be checked for existence (i.e., the URL actually loads and doesn't give a 404 response).

Note that when you're using the single-threaded development server, validating a URL being served by the same server will hang. This should not be a problem for multithreaded servers.

Changed in Django 1.2: Please, see the release notes"

The description suggests that the default value for this parameter is True, but the declaration suggests that it's False. Additionally, there is no mention of verify_exists in the Django 1.2 release notes.

The "Changed in 1.2" reference should actually be "Changed in 1.2.6"; it was modified in response to a security problem that was discovered.

Marking RFC because it's a trivial patch to the docs.

Maybe I missed something obvious, but I don't see when and how this was fixed?
