## 9.0.0 (2025-04-15) [elasticsearch-python-client-900-release-notes]

:::{tip}
Upgrade to Elasticsearch 9 before using elasticsearch-py 9.0.0 or later. Using elasticsearch-py 9.0.0 on an Elasticsearch 8 server will fail.
Since language clients are forward-compatible, you should first upgrade Elasticsearch, then the Elasticsearch client. See the [compatibility documentation](/reference/index.md#_compatibility) for more details.
