 ## Upgrading {#upgrading}
 
+### App folder name
+
+The standard 'mysite' code naming convention has changed in 4.2. Although existing sites can continue
+to use 'mysite/code` to store their base project code, the recommendation and new default is to
+store code in `app/src`.
+
+Additionally, we reinforce the recommendation to use psr-4 autoloading in your project to speed up
+class loading.
+
+In order to upgrade a site to use `app/src` folder:
+
+ - Rename the folder `mysite` to `app` and `code` to `src`.
+ - Update your `app/_config/mysite.yml` config to the below:
+
+```yaml
+---
+Name: myproject
+---
+SilverStripe\Core\Manifest\ModuleManifest:
+  project: app
+```
+
+ - add psr-4 for your root project files and namespace. An example `composer.json` below
+   shows how this might look:
+
+```json
+{
+    "autoload": {
+        "psr-4": {
+            "TractorCow\\MyWebsite\\": "app/src/"
+        },
+        "classmap": [
+            "app/src/Page.php",
+            "app/src/PageController.php"
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+ - Ensure you flush your site with `?flush=all`
+ 
+Note: In 5.0 the app folder will be fixed to `app` and cannot be soft-coded via `mysite.yml`
