+Below you find additional migrations and hints about other structural and
+breaking changes. **Please read them before running the migration.**
+
+!!! note
+ If you are migrating from a version <3.6, then you still have to follow
+ the manual migration steps up to 3.6.
+
+## 3.6.0 -> 3.7.0
+
+### New format and name of configuration file
+
+The configuration for an import is now saved in a `.env` file in the project
+directory. This file follows the dotenv format. For more information, see
+the [installation chapter](Import.md#configuration-setup-in-env).
+
+To migrate to the new system, create a new project directory, add the `.env`
+file and port your custom configuration from `settings/local.php`. Most
+settings are named similar and only have received a `NOMINATIM_` prefix.
+Use the default settings in `settings/env.defaults` as a reference.
+
+### New location for data files
+
+External data files for Wikipedia importance, postcodes etc. are no longer
+expected to reside in the source tree by default. Instead they will be searched
+in the project directory. If you have an automated setup script you must
+either adapt the download location or explicitly set the location of the
+files to the old place in your `.env`.
+
+### Introducing `nominatim` command line tool
+
+The various php utilities have been replaced with a single `nominatim`
+command line tool. Make sure to adapt any scripts. There is no direct 1:1
+matching between the old utilities and the commands of nominatim CLI. The
+following list gives you a list of nominatim sub-commands that contain
+functionality of each script:
+
+* ./utils/setup.php: `import`, `freeze`, `refresh`
+* ./utils/update.php: `replication`, `add-data`, `index`, `refresh`
+* ./utils/specialphrases.php: `special-phrases`
+* ./utils/check_import_finished.php: `admin`
+* ./utils/warm.php: `admin`
+* ./utils/export.php: `export`
+
+Try `nominatim <command> --help` for more information about each subcommand.
+
+`./utils/query.php` no longer exists in its old form. `nominatim search`
+provides a replacement but returns different output.
+
+### Switch to normalized house numbers
+
+The housenumber column in the placex table uses now normalized version.
+The automatic migration step will convert the column but this may take a
+very long time. It is advisable to take the machine offline while doing that.
+
+## 3.5.0 -> 3.6.0
+
+### Change of layout of search_name_* tables
+
+The table need a different index for nearest place lookup. Recreate the
+indexes using the following shell script:
+
+```bash
+for table in `psql -d nominatim -c "SELECT tablename FROM pg_tables WHERE tablename LIKE 'search_name_%'" -tA | grep -v search_name_blank`;
+do
+ psql -d nominatim -c "DROP INDEX idx_${table}_centroid_place; CREATE INDEX idx_${table}_centroid_place ON ${table} USING gist (centroid) WHERE ((address_rank >= 2) AND (address_rank <= 25)); DROP INDEX idx_${table}_centroid_street; CREATE INDEX idx_${table}_centroid_street ON ${table} USING gist (centroid) WHERE ((address_rank >= 26) AND (address_rank <= 27))";
+done
+```
+
+### Removal of html output
+
+The debugging UI is no longer directly provided with Nominatim. Instead we
+now provide a simple Javascript application. Please refer to
+[Setting up the Nominatim UI](../Setup-Nominatim-UI) for details on how to
+set up the UI.
+
+The icons served together with the API responses have been moved to the
+nominatim-ui project as well. If you want to keep the `icon` field in the
+response, you need to set `CONST_MapIcon_URL` to the URL of the `/mapicon`
+directory of nominatim-ui.
