+# Migrate from 0.8.x to 0.9.0
+
+This release contains one breaking change. In previous versions of Jitar, segment files were scanned from the root of the project and had to have the extension `.segment.json`. This is no longer the case. The location of the segment files is now configurable.
+
+The default location is `./segments` and can be overwritten in the `jitar.json` configuration file. The configuration key is `segments`.

+  "segments": "./my-segments"
