+## 3.0.0 - 2023-04-14
+
+Breaking change:
+
+All events by default now send the `$geoip_disable` property to disable geoip lookup in app. This is because usually we don't
+want to update person properties to take the server's location.
+
+The same now happens for feature flag requests, where we discard the IP address of the server for matching on geoip properties like city, country, continent.
+
+To restore previous behaviour, you can set the default to False like so:
+
+```python
+posthog.disable_geoip = False
+
+# // and if using client instantiation:
+posthog = Posthog('api_key', disable_geoip=False)
+
+```
+
 ## 2.5.0 - 2023-04-10
 
 1. Add option for instantiating separate client object
