Hey there,
not sure if there's a separate repo for the website (matomo.org, didn't found one), but I think it will fit in here.

On the main page, there's this animation:

On the truck it say's Piwik, so that should be changed at one point in the future. :-)

Cheers!

As part of this issue it be important to look at which ones are easy and quick to do. The rest we'll do as part of Matomo 5.

for tracker created matomo-org/tracker-proxy#61

I reckon we can move the rest to Matomo 5? The only question would be wether we want to release another Matomo 2 and Matomo 3 update with the legacy auto loader: https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/4.x-dev/LegacyAutoloader.php#L17

This way should we ever change the namespace then it would cause less upgrade issues.

@sgiehl @mattab I reckon it could make sense to add the autoloader and release new version also for Matomo 2.* users

@tsteur Yes. Guess it makes sense to release new versions for 2.x and 3.x with the autoloader, so we have smoother updates later...

@sgiehl created this for 3.x-dev: https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/compare/3.x-dev...legacyautoloader?expand=1 would create the same for 2.x-dev... do you reckon this would help?

Generally thinking the autloader needs to work both ways Piwik -> Matomo and Matomo -> Piwik

• Core updater runs with 3.x, all files from Matomo are being updated
• Now it tries to request \Piwik\Http class in https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/3.13.6/plugins/CoreUpdater/Updater.php#L131
• Because the file core/Http was replaced this file will contain \Matomo\Http... and no longer \Piwik\Http...
• The error would not be solved by this legacy autoloader unless we add alias as needed both ways (which I now did in the updated code base)

On another note noticed there is also interface_exists. Hoping we won't run into any issues around interfaces but luckily we don't use them much :)

Aren't we running most of the update process on the new code base? 🤔
But guess it makes sense to have the autoloader in both ways, to be sure there can't be any renamed class missing...

FYI we basically need to release a Matomo 2 release and then we can move this issue into Matomo 5 milestone.

I just updated to Matomo 5.0.1 and post-update "Matomo Changelog" panel says "See the latest changes in Piwik.". Doing a quick scan of the Web tree, I found the HTML code in /tmp/cache/tracker/matomocache_RSS_d88870a6de03bc454328f6b17452cb70.php so I'm guessing this is supplied by matomo.org and then cached locally. I think this might be the first time I've seen an incorrect visible textual reference to Piwik after logging in to our local Matomo instance.
