Server.log unreadable!

Hello Bukkit community,

Perhaps you could help me with this issue.

Recently, after I upgraded Bukkit, my server.log file has become virtually unreadable. Here's a screenshot when I open it up in Notepad++:



Before I updated Bukkit, I could actually read what people are saying without all of that [ESC] &33;2m etc. junk. Now I can't. I believe this has happened once in the past, but it was a VERY long time ago.

I'm currently running a Development build of Bukkit, namely 1.5-R0.1 (Build #02671), which I got from http://dl.bukkit.org/downloads/craftbukkit/view/01949_1.5-R0.1/ .

Also, I'm running the following plugins:

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

GroupManager version 2.0 (2.9.5) (Phoenix)
iMonies version 2.6
WorldEdit version 5.5.3
Permissions version 3.1.6
SimpleAutoAnnouncer version 0.9.2
Vault version 1.2.24-b304
Votifier version 1.9
LWC version 4.3.1 (b820-git-MANUAL) (February 02, 2013)
WorldGuard version 5.7.3
PwnFilter version 2.2.0
Essentials version Pre2.10.1.4
EssentialsSpawn version Pre2.10.1.4
OnTime version 3.6.5
Enjin Minecraft Plugin version 2.4.1-bukkit
EssentialsChat version Pre2.10.1.4

Does anyone know what might be the cause of this strange behaviour?

 

Because its compiled. Try opening it in Notepad.

EDIT: Not compiled I meant your computer doesn't have the available characters to show that.
