 # Database Migrations
 
-Since version 3.7.0 Nominatim offers automatic migrations. Please follow
+Nominatim offers automatic migrations for versions 4.3+. Please follow
 the following steps:
 
-* stop any updates that are potentially running
-* update Nominatim to the newer version
-* go to your project directory and run `nominatim admin --migrate`
-* (optionally) restart updates
+* Stop any updates that are potentially running
+* Update the backend: `pip install -U nominatim-db`
+* Go to your project directory and run `nominatim admin --migrate`
+* Update the frontend: `pip install -U nominatim-api`
+* (optionally) Restart updates
 
 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.
+    If you are migrating from a version <4.3, you need to install 4.3
+    and migrate to 4.3 first. Then you can migrate to the current
+    version. It is strongly recommended to do a reimport instead.
+
+## 4.5.0 -> 5.0.0
+
+### PHP frontend removed
+
+The PHP frontend has been completely removed. Please switch to the Python
+frontend.
+
+Without the PHP code, the `nominatim refresh --website` command is no longer
+needed. It currently omits a warning and does otherwise nothing. It will be
+removed in later versions of Nominatim. So make sure you remove it from your
+scripts.
+
+### CMake building removed
+
+Nominatim can now only be installed via pip. Please follow the installation
+instructions for the current version to change to pip.
+
+### osm2pgsql no longer vendored in
+
+Nominatim no longer ships its own version of osm2pgsql. Please install a
+stock version of osm2pgsql from your distribution. See the
+[installation instruction for osm2pgsql](https://osm2pgsql.org/doc/install.html)
+for details. A minimum version of 1.8 is required. The current stable versions
+of Ubuntu and Debian already ship with an appropriate versions. For older
+installation, you may have to compile a newer osm2pgsql yourself.
+
+### Legacy tokenizer removed
+
+The `legacy` tokenizer is no longer enabled. This tokenizer has been superseded
+by the `ICU` tokenizer a long time ago. In the unlikely case that your database
+still uses the `legacy` tokenizer, you must reimport your database.
+
+### osm2pgsql style overhauled
+
+There are some fundamental changes to how customized osm2pgsql styles should
+be written. The changes are mostly backwards compatible, i.e. custom styles
+should still work with the new implementation. The only exception is a
+customization of the `process_tags()` function. This function is no longer
+considered public and neither are the helper functions used in it.
+They currently still work but will be removed at some point. If you have
+been making changes to `process_tags`, please review your style and try
+to switch to the new convenience functions.
+
+For more information on the changes, see the
+[pull request](https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim/pull/3615)
+and read the new
+[customization documentation](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/customize/Import-Styles/).
+
+## 4.4.0 -> 4.5.0
+
+### 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
