Congratulation @gmazzap and @Howdy_McGee - you made it through!

And something nice for me too. With WordPress 4.6 I now became a Core Contributor. Tribute to all my teachers and mentors here in WPSE.

@MayeenulIslam Wow that is awesome! Congrats Mayeenul!!

My contribution to the core stuck in tickets as usual

Mayeenul Islam

@Sisir Takes time usually. Sometime it's the decision process, and sometimes it's the dependency of one changes to another.

@TimMalone Thanks :)

Sisir

Congratulations by the way :)

Mayeenul Islam

Interesting fact: 2,405 voters were eligible, 812 visited the site during the election, 530 visited the election page, and 272 voted

**Marketing Lesson**
I summed up this to a count this way:
- *Potential Site Visitors:* 2405
- *Actual Site Visitors:* 812
- *Actual beneficiary:* 530
- *Actual devotee:* 272

Only 11% of your potential customers finally became your customer

@gmazzap Thank you

there is even a badge when you vote, and still …

...still it's 11% only :(

anyone seeing new comment queries making SQL which explodes?

as in starting with 4.6 ?

Christine Cooper

@toscho Wow thanks a lot!

Hopefully for the next elections, I will be a strong candidate not only for the mods but as a WP developer. =D

don't get cocky :P

Good news folks. TinyMCE.js has been upgraded to the latest version... meaning that we will have a flux of clients with broken sites and a ton of out-of-date answers here.

This will be the month when I can finally afford a new car.

cjbj

10:35

Hmm, for me it's more likely to be the month where clients say "that's regular maintenance, not something extra we asked for."

Rarst

that's probably why you are not getting a new car... :)

that or you can get new car every month regardless of WP updates. that works nicely too.

@MayeenulIslam Nice, congrats! First time contributors should be in bold text IMO :)

Wow - WordPress is asking to update the database without being logged in? That seems weird...

Howdy_McGee

14:24

Apparently that's always been a thing...

kraftner

15:21

Well I mean you press yes, and than it does the upgrade with nothing bad you can do. And I think it only happens on the login screen, not on a random public page, right?

Howdy_McGee

Yeah, only happens on the login screen. I suppose if they're 100% sure that the update won't break the site then sure might as well but I don't trust WordPress to be sure 100% on anything.

IMO should be an admin privilege / choice.

kraftner

The problem is that having updated the code, but not the DB might leave the site in a weird state. So this should happen asap after an update.

Sisir

Anyone using cygwin with win 10.1? I am trying to connect with ssh with keys. I get "Permission too open" error. None of the solution found online is helping. Stuck with it almost a week.

Howdy_McGee

Eh, I just don't like normal users being able to stumble upon that.

kraftner

15:37

This is why each deploy is ideally followed by wp-cli.org/commands/core/update-db

Rarst

WP is mysteriously loosing sql_clauses of comments query in production... ugh

Mark Kaplun

15:53

late congratz to the winners (or losers if you take @toscho's word about the role)

Rarst

16:12

WP_Comment_Query looses sql_clauses with Object Cache https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37696 ok, made a fair troubleshooting attempt, but no clue :\

Tweeted by Rarst on August 17, 2016 at 4:08 PM

ugh

Sisir

@Rarst WP has removed caching in comment. I wonder if that is the reason behind

Rarst

added, not removed. I know. I don't see why and how it breaks though :\
