Was really hoping they'd have a recommended release by Christmas, but at least progress is being made as the Bukkit team released what they are calling a Beta build.

"A Beta Build is in between a developer build and a Recommended Build. These builds simply work and are promoted much more frequently than a Recommended Build. While we will do some testing before promoting a beta build, we will not be running it through our extensive test process. As such, there are no guarantees that they will not contain minor bugs."

I suppose it's probably a good thing though, given that MCP 1.7.2 isn't even available yet. There is an alpha release, but it doesn't support reobfuscation, so all your favorite client-side mods wouldn't even be available to run even if Bukkit released a 1.7.x Recommended build.

Things are heating up! A beta build might not be feature-complete, but they tend to be more stable than the dev builds.

Considering that it took a month between the first 1.6 beta and the recommended build, it's very possible that I'll move ahead with this or another beta version. I'll start checking the status of the various server plugins to see how feasible this is. It might still require some waiting since 1.7 breaks quite a few things on that front.

So? Today's the 27th (even in Canada). Is it moving day?
