Tomáš Votruba Blog: Is Zend Dead? Is Laravel Losing Breath? Trends of PHP Frameworks i

Youth Choir of San Diego captures moments of Christmas at Skyline Church performance

Yuletide cheer came to roaring life at Skyline Church thanks to Youth Choir of San Diego, who offered up delightful little bonbons of Christmas standards both old and new. Their angelic voices wafted through the chilly winter air, warming the crowd’s hearts with visions of sugarplums and chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

Yuletide cheer came to roaring life at Skyline Church thanks to Youth Choir of San Diego, who offered up delightful little bonbons of Christmas standards both old and new. Their angelic voices wafted through the chilly winter air, warming the crowd’s hearts with visions of sugarplums and chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

Every song was a winner, with a particular standout performance by Lari Pimentel, whose brilliant rendition of “All I want for Christmas is you” nearly eclipsed Mariah Carey’s original.

Another solid performance was the duet between Mae Battle and Pimentel on the classic “Oh Holy night”. The two really brought out the immense hope that the song conveys and not a single person in the church wasn’t on their feet applauding by the end of the song.

During “Silent Night” the choir lined up on the edge of the stage, the whole church was dark save for the warm orange glow of votive candles held by the audience. The soft tinkling of a piano by YCSD band music director Jonni Glaser accompanied the choir in this immensely subtle and beautiful song.   

As a reward to those in the audience who had been nice all year a couple of special guests performed alongside the choir.

San Diego musician Adisa Browning brought the house down in joyous and playful renditions of “Jingle Bells” and “We wish you a merry Christmas”. Ever the showman, Browning’s cheer was infectious and he had the whole audience clapping and singing along.

El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells got into the holiday spirit, getting behind the piano and belting out a jazzy take of Nat King Cole’s “The Christmas Song”. His voice was surprisingly deep and resonant and a perfect fit for the song.

Even Santa Claus showed up, jiggling his bowlful of jelly and leading the members of the choir on a conga line through the aisles of the church as they sang “Feliz Navidad”. As he “Ho Ho Ho’ed” his way through the church, Mrs. Claus handed out candy canes to the audience with a pleasant smile.

This choir program is a testament to the power and charity that music holds over us. 

YCSD President and conductor Jason Prater has assembled a fine and diverse group of youngsters.

The talent on display from these forty-eight adolescents was impressive and there isn’t any doubt that they won’t reach their full potential.

WordPress 5.2 Beta 3

WordPress 5.2 Beta 3 is now available!

This software is still in development, so we don’t recommend you run it on a production site. Consider setting up a test site to play with the new version.

There are two ways to test the latest WordPress 5.2 beta: try the WordPress Beta Tester plugin (you’ll want to select the “bleeding edge nightlies” option), or you can download the beta here (zip).

WordPress 5.2 is slated for release on April 30, and we need your help to get there! Thanks to the testing and feedback from everyone who tried beta 2, nearly 40 tickets have been closed since then. Here are the major changes and bug fixes:

  • The new Site Health feature has continued to be refined.
  • Plugins no longer update if a site is running an unsupported version of PHP (see #46613).
  • It’s now more apparent when a site is running in Recovery Mode (see #46608).
  • The distraction free button no longer breaks keyboard navigation in the Classic Editor (see #46640).
  • Assistive technologies do a better job of announcing admin bar sub menus (see #37513).
  • Subject lines in WordPress emails are now more consistent (see #37940).
  • Personal data exports now only show as completed when a user downloads their data (see #44644).
  • Plus more improvements to accessibility (see #35497 and #42853).

Minimum PHP Version Update

Important reminder: as of WordPress 5.2 beta 2, the minimum PHP version that WordPress will require is 5.6.20. If you’re running an older version of PHP, we highly recommend updating it now, before WordPress 5.2 is officially released.

Developer Notes

WordPress 5.2 has lots of refinements to polish the developer experience. To keep up, subscribe to the Make WordPress Core blog and pay special attention to the developers notes for updates on those and other changes that could affect your products.

How to Help

Do you speak a language other than English? Help us translate WordPress into more than 100 languages! The beta 3 release also marks the soft string freeze point of the 5.2 release schedule.

If you think you’ve found a bug, you can post to the Alpha/Beta area in the support forums. We’d love to hear from you! If you’re comfortable writing a reproducible bug report, file one on WordPress Trac, where you can also find a list of known bugs.
