If you changed a substantial amount, then yes. The rule of thumb is >50% is no brainer yes. Smaller percentages require more nuanced judgement as to whether the changes are substantial enough to create a new work. Chances are quite good you fall into one of those categories. Also, if you have replaced more than ~90% chances are good no original work remains. Again, a judgement call. There are more technical legal guidelines, but that would require a lawyer. My hunch is that unless this is something far more trivial than I then I'd add the notice, but retaining the old.
