The second bug fix for SMP got released today. Unfortunately, and apparently the talk about not forcing the client to update has gone out the window. The client still auto-updates. Sucks…
The post about the update seems to only focus about the player disappearing when dying from a mob, and invisible mobs. Just a bunch of mumbo jumbo.
Another update will be released “early next week”. I’m not going to hold my breath here.
I’ll tell you one thing. I feel sorry for the people that didn’t backup their 1.2.2 version minecraft.jars. Three updates in just three days have kept modders busy, and others begging Notch to stop updating so they can update their mods.
Also today, Notch posted a blog entry completely made in Swedish. Saying if you didn’t speak it, pretend it’s a post about something he recently bought.
But, Google Translate says otherwise. It’s actually a request for coders to come work for him.
Here’s the translated blog post from Swedish to English, if you’re too lazy to translate it yourself.
Angry is turning out to be quite a good programmer, and he’s planning to move to Sweden. Sadly he’s too young to get a job right now.
