So my site says 2.11.0 is available and I should upgrade.
I don’t like sites updating themselves, but I was tempted by the “one click” thing as I was feeling lazy. So I changed the permissions on the site’s files and let it run. All the way to a white screen of death. The logs read:

Happily I had a backup of the files so I restored, and got the site running again.
Then I tried the manual method; deleted the piwik dir, put the new one in place. Copied back the config.ini file. Reloaded the site to a message “Your Piwik database is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.”. Following the command line, I did
/path/to/piwik/$ php console 'core:update'
[InvalidArgumentException]
There are no commands defined in the "core" namespace.
I did the db upgrade through the web interface and it then worked.
This is my first piwik upgrade and it turned out to be a lot more than “1 click”. Did I do anything wrong or is this normal? :-/
