+### NOMINATIM_PHRASE_CONFIG removed
+
+Custom blacklist configurations for special phrases now need to be handed
+with the `--config` parameter to `nominatim special-phrases`. Alternatively
+you can put your custom configuration in the project directory in a file
+named `phrase-settings.json`.
+
+Version 3.8 also removes the automatic converter for the php format of
+the configuration in older versions. If you are updating from Nominatim < 3.7
+and still work with a custom `phrase-settings.php`, you need to manually
+convert it into a json format.
+
 ## 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.
