CraftBukkit 1.5.1-R0.2 is now available!

A new CraftBukkit Beta Build (1.5.1-R0.2) that provides Minecraft 1.5.1 compatibility as well as stability and security improvements is now available. If you're running 1.5.1-R0.1, updating is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Will plugins break with this build?
Provided the developers of the plugins you are using are keeping up with the development of Bukkit, all your plugins should work fine, with the exception of plugins that use Minecraft or CraftBukkit code.

What is 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. If we do find out they are broken, we will mark it as such on DLB and promote a new one. A beta build may contain incomplete API and new features but they should not interfere with running the build in any way.

This particular Beta build has been promoted to provide servers with fixes for some known critical exploits. If you're running 1.5.1-R0.1, updating is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Known Issues:

• None.

Great Job Team!

Reminder to everyone: If you need support, Bukkit Help is the place to go. All support requests on this thread will be deleted.

 

Great Job guys, thanks for all the hard work you have put in. <3

 

Well done guys!

 

Thanks bukkit team. Keep up the good work.

 

Thank you so much guys!
It's really pleasant to see that a new version of Bukkit came out just about when I was going to set up Bukkit server for first time today. Lucky me. Haha
I really appreciate it.

 

Thanks a lot!
Although I'm a little bit confused. It says:

I thought those only broke on Minecraft updates. So I guess that's not true?

 

What are these "critical exploits" that were fixed. ._.

great jaaaaaarb

 

There are many reasons plugins could break, not just the refactoring commit you are referring to.

 

Ammmmmazing, as always.

 

Great job, Thanks.

 

cool

 

I read through that, but I wondered if they meant something specific.

 

yay!!

 

What kind "security improvements" like anti-force op?

 

Nice!

 

Well done once again.

 

There is no such thing as "force op"


People occasionally post videos claiming to have created a tool to give you op, but that tool turns out to be a virus for infecting the computers of people gullible enough to think they could acquire such an impossible tool.

 

You know how you have the method called onEnable in your plugin? Well if they decide to change onEnable to onStartup in the bukkit code, they they have broken your plugin. Small things like that. Another example. If they change chat colors to ChatColor.Green instead of ChatColor.GREEN then they have broken our plugins that use that code and we have to go and change it.

 

Yes, I know that, but I thought they only changed the package-names on major updates, which is true.

 

Oh, well they can do what ever they want really

 

Good jobe.

 

Glad to know the hopper exploit was fixed. Had me worried for a bit!

 

I was starting to give up on you guys, but you yet again show yourselves worthy.

 

Yay! Nice job guys! <3

 

Keeping RO1 until all of my plugins update.

 

Thanks!
