Would this have to be a completely new install or just a composer update from the 3.3 series? And does 3.3 series documentation apply to this?

@jimgwhit, simple composer update, and follow the migration guide (https://github.com/cakephp/docs/blob/3.next/en/appendices/3-4-migration-guide.rst)

I don’t understand what is meant by:
The following is a list of methods that are deprecated and replaced with getX and setX methods:
And CakeDatabaseConnection is mentioned under deprecated.
does that mean that

use Cake\Datasource\ConnectionManager;   //is no good

and

$connection = ConnectionManager::get('default');
$result = $connection->execute('SELECT COUNT(dogid) as total FROM dogs WHERE adopted = 0')->fetchAll('assoc');

would be no good?

Where is information on getX and setX methods?
