You need to provide authentication information and can optionally provide configuration options for the HTTP Client that's used (that is in the `vonage-http-client` package).

 Response fields are also converted into snake_case where applicable, so as to be more pythonic. This means they won't necessarily match the API one-to-one.
 
-## API Changes
+## Error Handling
+
+In v3 of the SDK, most HTTP client errors gave a general `HttpClientError`. In v4 these are finer-grained. Errors in v4 inherit from the general `VonageError` but are more specific and finer-grained, E.g. a `RateLimitedError` when the SDK receives an HTTP 429 response.
+
+These errors will have a descriptive message and will also include the response object returned to the SDK, accessed by `HttpClientError.response` etc.
+
+Some API packages have their own errors for specific cases too.
+
+For older Vonage APIs that always return an HTTP 200, error handling logic has been included to give a similar experience to the newer APIs.
+
+## General API Changes
 
 In v3, you access `vonage.Client`. In v4, it's `vonage.Vonage`.
 
 The methods to get and set host attributes in v3 e.g. `vonage.Client.api_host` have been removed. You now get these options in v4 via the `vonage.Vonage.http_client`. Set these options in v4 by adding the options you want to the `vonage.HttpClientOptions` data model when initializing a `vonage.Vonage` object.
 
-Rather than just returning a `ClientError` when an HTTP Client error is thrown, we now throw more specific errors with more information.
+## Specific API Changes
+
+### Video API
+
+Methods have been added to help you work with the Live Captions, Audio Connector and Experience Composer APIs. See the [Video API samples](video/README.md) for more information.
 
-### Specific API Changes
+### Voice API
+
+Methods have been added to help you moderate a voice call:
+
+- `voice.hangup`
+- `voice.mute`
+- `voice.unmute`
+- `voice.earmuff`
+- `voice.unearmuff`
+
+See the [Voice API samples](voice/README.md) for more information.
+
+### Network Number Verification API
 
 The process for verifying a number using the Network Number Verification API has been simplified. In v3 it was required to exchange a code for a token then use this token in the verify request. In v4, these steps are combined so both functions are taken care of in the `NetworkNumberVerification.verify` method.
 
-Verify v2 functionality is accessed from `verify2` in v3 and `verify_v2` in v4.
+### Verify V2 API
+
+Verify v2 functionality is accessed from `vonage_client.verify2` in v3 and `vonage_client.verify_v2` in v4.
+
+### SMS API
 
-SMS message signing/verifying signatures code in `vonage.Client` in v3 has been moved into the `vonage-http-client` package in v4. This can be accessed via the `vonage` package as we import the `vonage-http-client.Auth` class into its namespace.
