+### 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.

+### Change order during indexing
+
+When reindexing places during updates, there is now a different order used
+which needs a different database index. Create it with the following SQL command:
+
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX idx_placex_pendingsector_rank_address
+  ON placex USING BTREE (rank_address, geometry_sector) where indexed_status > 0;
+```
+
+You can then drop the old index with:
+
+```sql
+DROP INDEX idx_placex_pendingsector
+```
+
+### Unused index
+
+This index has been unused ever since the query using it was changed two years ago. Saves about 12GB on a planet installation.

+```sql
+DROP INDEX idx_placex_geometry_reverse_lookupPoint

+### Switching to dotenv

+As part of the work changing the configuration format, the configuration for

+configuration file, run the following command after updating:
