+IPython 4.0
+===========
+
+Released August, 2015
+
+IPython 4.0 is the first major release after the Big Split.
+IPython no longer contains the notebook, qtconsole, etc. which have moved to
+`jupyter <https://jupyter.readthedocs.org>`_.
+IPython subprojects, such as `IPython.parallel <https://ipyparallel.readthedocs.org>`_ and `widgets <https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.org>`_ have moved to their own repos as well.
+
+The following subpackages are deprecated:
+
+- IPython.kernel (now jupyter_client and ipykernel)
+- IPython.consoleapp (now jupyter_client.consoleapp)
+- IPython.nbformat (now nbformat)
+- IPython.nbconvert (now nbconvert)
+- IPython.html (now notebook)
+- IPython.parallel (now ipyparallel)
+- IPython.utils.traitlets (now traitlets)
+- IPython.config (now traitlets.config)
+- IPython.qt (now qtconsole)
+- IPython.terminal.console (now jupyter_console)
+
+and a few other utilities.
+
+Shims for the deprecated subpackages have been added,
+so existing code should continue to work with a warning about the new home.
+
+There are few changes to the code beyond the reorganization and some bugfixes.
+
+IPython highlights:
+
+- Public APIs for discovering IPython paths is moved from :mod:`IPython.utils.path` to :mod:`IPython.paths`.
+  The old function locations continue to work with deprecation warnings.
+- Code raising ``DeprecationWarning``
+  entered by the user in an interactive session will now display the warning by
+  default. See :ghpull:`8480` an :ghissue:`8478`.
+- The `--deep-reload` flag and the corresponding options to inject `dreload` or
+  `reload` into the interactive namespace have been deprecated, and will be
+  removed in future versions. You should now explicitly import `reload` from
+  `IPython.lib.deepreload` to use it.
