Ok! Final snapshot! Honest!* Tomorrow: Pre-release!

The things changed in this snapshot are:

  • Notable change: Dispensers and droppers will now only fire once when they receive a redstone signal. To fire again, the signal must be turned off and on again. (Previously a dispenser would fire whenever it had a signal and a nearby block changed.)
  • [MC-711] Redstone and components stay powered after unloading chunks
  • [MC-846] Dispenser and Dropper shooting out when updated
  • [MC-3458] Server crashes if spaces are input on the console
  • [MC-6223] Night Vision Potions that are edited to last longer create a potentially seizure-inducing flashing sky background.
  • [MC-8022] Furnace interface occasionally closes when adding fuel, deleting all items in the furnace
  • [MC-8597] Named Mobs Don’t have Named Babies
  • [MC-10357] Getting into a minecart with a mob in it crashes minecraft
  • [MC-10946] 2 Hoppers funneling unstackable items into a 3rd Hopper at the same time cause the 3rd Hopper to not funnel items into a container
  • [MC-10948] Dispensers continually shoot/use certain items like water buckets and flint&steel
  • [MC-10950] Comparators still giving off power when hopper inventory is empty
  • [MC-10956] Animals can breed over distances up to almost 8 blocks when only seperated by fences
  • [MC-10995] Message “THIS TOO” in console
  • [MC-11019] Full hoppers feeding into full hoppers causes the forward hopper to stall
  • [MC-11044] Adding items to brewing stand using dropper does not change state of comparator
