 ### Next Release

 #### Behavior change for polygon labels
 
 Polygon labels are now only rendered when the label does not exceed the polygon at the label position. To get the old behavior, configure your `ol.style.Text` with `exceedLength: true`.

 The 4.4.0 release includes features and fixes from 80 pull requests, including first time contributions from @EduardoNogueira, @ath0mas, @f7o, @trevorblades, @viethang, and @wb14123.  There are some really nice rendering enhancements included in this release.  It is now possible to render labels along lines (see [#7239](https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/pull/7239) for more detail) and polygon labels are only rendered if they fit within the polygon ([#7292](https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/pull/7292)).  In addition, we now render tiles with an opacity transition, so tiled layers more gracefully fade in ([#7267](https://github.com/openlayers/openlayers/pull/7267)).
 
+### Upgrade notes
+
+#### Behavior change for polygon labels
+
+Polygon labels are now only rendered when the label does not exceed the polygon at the label position. To get the old behavior, configure your `ol.style.Text` with `exceedLength: true`.
+
+#### Minor change for custom `tileLoadFunction` with `ol.source.VectorTile`
+
+It is no longer necessary to set the projection on the tile. Instead, the `readFeatures` method must be called with the tile's extent as `extent` option and the view's projection as `featureProjection`.
+
+Before:
+```js
+tile.setLoader(function() {
+  var data = // ... fetch data
+  var format = tile.getFormat();
+  tile.setFeatures(format.readFeatures(data));
+  tile.setProjection(format.readProjection(data));
+  // uncomment the line below for ol.format.MVT only
+  //tile.setExtent(format.getLastExtent());
+});
+```
+
+After:
+```js
+tile.setLoader(function() {
+  var data = // ... fetch data
+  var format = tile.getFormat();
+  tile.setFeatures(format.readFeatures(data, {
+    featureProjection: map.getView().getProjection(),
+    // uncomment the line below for ol.format.MVT only
+    //extent: tile.getExtent()
+  }));
+);
+```
+
+#### Deprecation of `ol.DeviceOrientation`
+
+`ol.DeviceOrientation` is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.
+The device-orientation example has been updated to use the (gyronorm.js)[https://github.com/dorukeker/gyronorm.js] library.
