What everyone wants to know with this update; do plugins need to be updated to use UUIDs? Or will name-based plugins still work for now?
Pretty much anything that specifically targets people will have to be updated to uuid. Such as permission plugins and login plugins, factions. Things along those lines. They go into detail on this on the front page.
Yes I read those posts and understand the impact, but I wondered if bukkit has a failsafe, since they know hardly any plugins have updated yet, Just so I can get the new clients working on the server with plugins working.
