{{1.2.4 Update

"The 1.2.4 update is now available for Minecraft! Mojang has been hard at work squashing bugs, and the inclusion of the Bukkit team has allowed a larger list of items to be covered in a short time.

Found here on minecraft forums home page.

Fixed:
>Chat history and much better chat editing
>A few new decoration blocks
>“Back” and “Quit” buttons to OutOfMemoryScreen
>Made cats more realistic (read: probably annoying). I hope it’s enough to cancel out any joy you may receive from the previous feature!
>Added a “minimal” debug menu for testing with. Shift+F3 to hide the graphs.
>Made placing half blocks on existing half blocks (to make a full block) easier
>Limit framerate on menu screens, no longer uses 100% cpu and make my computer melt
>Fixed fatal crash for converted worlds to anvil, when there’s blocks at max height
>Fixed an old bug with signs clearing text while you’re editing them in SMP
>Fixed crash when logging in while there are blocks at maxheight at spawn
>Fixed TNT ghosts in multiplayer
>Fixed storage minecarts dropping enchanted items
>Fixed crashes on invalid server addresses when joining a server
>Fixed entities being uninteractable if they existed at login (Multiplayer)
>Fixed dupe exploit with paintings
>Fixed furnaces and dispensers dropping enchanted items
>Fixed the “flickering” of chat as it vanishes off the screen
>Fixed text rendering over items in the container screens
>Fixed exploit with jungle saplings (turns other saplings into jungle ones)
>Fixed launcher opening minecraft dir if the path contains a space
>Fixed an off-by-one lighting bug
>Fixed block transmuting (turning one block into another via pistons)
>Fixed placing mushrooms in daylight, where they can’t survive
>Fixed redstone lamps dropping powered block items when destroyed while on
“save-all” (server) now works even when you have toggled “save-off”
>Fixed turning half-blocks into full-blocks while you’re standing on them
>Fixed seed displaying in F3 debug when the seed is unknown (multiplayer)
>Fixed villager texture changing clientside per profession
>Fixed falling off ledge corners while holding shift
>Fixed players falling when reconnecting to servers where they were previously flying


Bukkit has given this list~}}


All of this information was found by EvoZahn. I did not plagerize in any way, I informed him of this reply before I posted it, which can be found in his thread.
