GRAH!
Did you update to 1.5 already? Because I think you can't log on if you've updated your file to 1.5 but the server is still 1.4.
Also, I was trying out 1.5 in SP and it seems like you can no longer exploit ladders every other square...you now seem to have to have a ladder on every square for them to work right...and you can't seem to place torches on a wall opposite a ladder (one space distance) either.
Anyone else notice that? Its making me have to change all my SP ladders, which is a bummer.
I think it auto updates when you log onto the online function. Also thanks for the heads up. I'd rather not find out I'm locked out of my house as the sun sets.
Added Weather (rain, snow, thunder)
Added Statistics and Achievements
New Items (Detector rail, Power Rail, Birch and Pine/Spruce Saplings)
Holding SHIFT+Click on something in a chest will immediately drag the selected item(s) into your inventory and vice-versa.
Birch and Pine/Spruce trees now drop Birch and Pine/Spruce saplings, respectively
Performance improvements
Crafting a ladder now produces 2 ladders
If lightning strikes a pig, it becomes a Zombie Pigman
A pig set on fire will drop cooked porkchops.
New settings in options:
Ability to change GUI size (Small, Normal, Large, Auto)
Advanced OpenGL (For higher-end graphics cards)
New large painting (in kz.png)
New Power armor that looks like electricity (in /armor)
Bug Fixes:
Climbing a ladder with gaps will not work anymore, but moving downwards is still possible.
On fancy graphics, the sides of grass blocks are now biome-specific and match the shade on the top.
You can now move through flowing water at previous speed.
Wolves have a better understanding of doors. (Wolves now have a small chance going through single door and can go through double doors most of the time.)
The lighting on portals and ice has been fixed (previously had triangles on the blocks) when using Smooth Lighting.
New Bugs:
Achievements only work in SMP if you have already completed first achievement in Single Player
Crash when Detector Rails are placed beside normal rails.
Blocks can't be placed on snow.
If you change Advanced OpenGL to on and then back again, giant holes will appear that you can see through.
Jumping off a fence in SMP triggers an anti-flight kick.
Rain will fall through glass, acting as if there is no block there.
When hitting a grass block the destroying animation is darker on the side than the animation on top of the grass block, though only on fancy graphics.
Flowing water no longer pushes empty minecarts that fall into it
GUI: create new world input boxes misaligned under small and normal settings
Patch 1.5 notes.

Think this is my favorite change...
Time to hunt pigs with flint and steel!
INDEED!
But I also like the powered minecart tracks too. No need for boosters anymore.

Probably not, right now they're a bit crashy apparently. So I recommend using differing heights if you want to have tracks next to eachother.

Ugh, going to have to re-design my tree-tower, the single-block ladder up won't work anymore, and if what yak says about the torches opposite ladders is true it means the tower will have to go completely unlit if I want the minimum of fuss =|
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I'm gonna build a railroad through to the other side of it with the new powered rails, so try to leave me a path.
(incidentally, anybody have iron for sale?).
Also, wiki lists a crash bug for the detector rail (a combination pressure plate/rail). Is there some way we can get that item locked out of the server for the time being?

this?
but with a room in front of the double doors where the other dakkanaughts sit?
and can someone update the server to 1.5?

The crash is from having a detector and a regular rail next to eachother.

I have some, and will trade an ingot for every three brown or black wool.
