Minecraft, bukkit and 1.4.6

I know everyone is waiting for Zedwork to update to 1.4.6, but unfortunately I don't think this is going to happen before Christmas.

With the first Recommended Build of 1.4.5, Bukkit introduced a new feature which intentionally breaks plugins which hook directly into Minecraft/bukkit code every update; rather than using their official API. It is a simple fix for Devs to make, just means they need to ensure the code they are attempting to hook into still functions as expected after each update. This is a necessary and good change, to avoid plugins silently breaking servers as the MC and subsequently bukkit code changes over the next few updates.

We are still running a Beta build on Zedwork, having not updated to the Recommended Build for 1.4.5 yet. To do so would mean our claims protection plugin would break, along with the region posts and several other not so essential plugins (shops, for example). The claims plugin has been updated to work with 1.4.5 RB, but not 1.4.6 as of yet. The region posts, however, are crippled by a Bukkit bug separate to the above change. The dev is still waiting on this to be fixed.

So, I'm sorry but I think it will be a little while until we do update. If it comes to New Years and we are still waiting, then I could throw the server into creative for the day so we can celebrate with fireworks ;) Give me your thoughts on that, please.

You could start using a warps plugin rather than region posts right?

so wait, if the server hasn't updated by the end of the month..... you'll be giving us creative server-wide for the day? O.o ( or in a set area, since that sounds safer? ) xD

Fireworks party sounds awesome~ :3

No, just the one world. Point of doing this is that we may not be able to update our world to 1.4.6 without ditching some essential plugins, like our grief protection for instance. So with a new blank world, we can update and enjoy a day of messing around in the new update; then back to 1.4.5 - oh wait, then everyone would struggle with downgrading xD
