## Upgrading to Acorn 4.x

### Step 1. Upgrade Acorn

```
$ composer remove roots/acorn
$ composer upgrade
$ composer require roots/acorn:v4.0.0-beta.0 -W
```

### Step 2. Upgrade Packages

All of my packages other than ACF Composer have a release and should bump with `composer upgrade`. For ACF Composer, you should be able to safely use `log1x/acf-composer:dev-master` for now.

### Step 3. Update Parent Namespace in Service Providers

All service providers used inside of your application or packages should now extend Illuminate:

```
- use Roots\Acorn\ServiceProvider;
+ use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
```

### Step 4. Update Acorn Configs (If Applicable)

If you previously published Acorn’s config(s), you can delete them all and re-publish/re-modify them with your changes or grab them manually from the [Acorn repo](https://github.com/roots/acorn/tree/main/config). You mainly need the [new provider stuff](https://github.com/roots/acorn/blob/6b7b1a328ec6cf9a515b2c5f30919a84d7c16519/config/app.php#L160-L169) if you published `config/app.php`.

:warning: **If any packages/dependencies have conflicts while updating, try removing and then re-requiring them after Acorn is bumped to 4.x.**
