Models can have a ``get_latest_by`` attribute, which should be set to the name
|
|
of a DateField or DateTimeField. If ``get_latest_by`` exists, the model's
|
|
module will get a ``get_latest()`` function, which will return the latest
|
|
object in the database according to that field. "Latest" means "having the
|
|
date farthest into the future."
