Jeb announced that 1.2.4 has been released. He included a bunch of bugfixes as well as some new decorative tiles such as Sandstone with hieroglyphics and some improvements to the SMP chat system. While Jeb made lots of changes, Dinnerbone was the real bugfixer for the most part. A few weeks ago Mojang hired the Bukkit crew fulltime to help bugfixing so they could focus on adding new features and Dinnerbone is the original creator of the Bukkit project. He’ll be moving to Sweden soon to join the rest of the Mojang crew so expect bugs to remain around a lot shorter. Here’s the full changelog so far:
