Mojang is offering a special treat today - an early Snapshot!  1.4 is due to release next week

Holy Cow!  I didn't realize they were that close to releasing 1.4!  I was gonna type out all the new things here, but there are too many.  So here's the link: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Snapshots#Minecraft_1.4_.28The_Pretty_Scary_Update.29_Snapshots_.26_Pre-releases

From what I gather there are still a lot of things that need fine tuning and well, Minecraft releases being on time has been a relatively new feature (haha).

This is going to be a MASSIVE update though

Hm, I hope bukkit updates really quick after the release. I'd like to upgrade asap.

Oh yeah, even our vanilla server is no longer vanilla, right?

Them releasing on time is Pretty Scary.

I thought it was, I thought the only real modding was backend tools (Bukkit)??

The rest was client mods like Rei's Minimap and such

Well yeah, just Bukkit with a few mods (including whitelist management).  But he said he hopes Bukkit updates soon after the release, and my point was we'll have to wait until Bukkit updates before we get to see the cool new stuff.

Anvils are gonna be great.  No more wasting diamonds on pickaxes with only Efficiency IV and Silk Touch on them, now we'll be able to put every enchantment on every pickaxe.  I hope.

My bet is that bukkit is keeping close track of releases. AFAIK it should be released before/same-day as 1.4. Thats my hope at least. It depends if the final release introduces any surprised.

Some youtube videos I'm watching are running a bunch of beta mods and some already support pre 1.4, and they are all forge based, which I think means bukkit as well.

just make sure to keep the 1.3.1/2 jar around to play with on the server, till I have some time. One thing that might be nice is if people can go through the map and mark stuff for deletion.

If I do install some/a mod(s) I'll probably share a drop box folder with the needed stuff so people can just sync it.

Darn! Can you give us a time frame of when you'll be upgrading the server? I just got bit by the Minecraft bug again so like, jonesing for blocky goodness.

Why can't you log on?  Did you already update your client?  If so, you can go to an older version with MCNostalgia: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/800346-tool-mcnostalgia-212-now-works-with-142/.  Read carefully as you may have to make a "patches" folder (it's empty in the zip and some zip tools don't extract empty folders).  MCNostalgia worked really well for me.
