+### New structure for Python packages
+
+The nominatim Python package has been split into `nominatim-db` and `nominatim-api`.
+Any imports need to be adapted accordingly.
+
+If you are running the Python frontend, change the server module from
+`nominatim.server.falcon.server` to `nominatim_api.server.falcon.server`.
+
+If you are using the Nominatim library, all imports need to be changed
+from `nominatim.api.<module>` to `nominatim_api.<module>`.
+
+If you have written custom tokenizers or sanitizers, the appropriate modules
+are now found in `nominatim_db`.

+## 4.2.0 -> 4.3.0
+
+### New indexes for reverse lookup
+
+The reverse lookup algorithm has changed slightly to improve performance.
+This change needs a different index in the database. The required index
+will be automatically build during migration. Until the new index is available
+performance of the /reverse endpoint is significantly reduced. You should
+therefore either remove traffic from the machine before attempting a
+version update or create the index manually **before** starting the update
+using the following SQL:
+
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_placex_geometry_reverse_lookupPlaceNode
+  ON placex USING gist (ST_Buffer(geometry, reverse_place_diameter(rank_search)))
+  WHERE rank_address between 4 and 25 AND type != 'postcode'
+    AND name is not null AND linked_place_id is null AND osm_type = 'N';
+```
+
+## 4.0.0 -> 4.1.0
+
+### ICU tokenizer is the new default
+
+Nominatim now installs the [ICU tokenizer](../customize/Tokenizers.md#icu-tokenizer)
+by default. This only has an effect on newly installed databases. When
+updating older databases, it keeps its installed tokenizer. If you still
+run with the legacy tokenizer, make sure to compile Nominatim with the
+PostgreSQL module, see [Installation](Installation.md#building-nominatim).
+
+### geocodejson output changed
+
+The `type` field of the geocodejson output has changed. It now contains
+the address class of the object instead of the value of the OSM tag. If
+your client has used the `type` field, switch them to read `osm_value`
+instead.
