Features:
- You can now use “/publish” to open your single-player game for LAN friends to join. This is still very much work in progress, so it lacks some necessary settings such as what game mode your friends will get, and if they should be able to use cheats or not. Also, the “/publish” command is temporary, you can’t even access it if you haven’t enabled cheats =)
- The Ender Chest has been changed to have an inventory per player and not per world. Also, knocking down the chest will break it into 8 obsidian, unless you have Silk Touch.
- The texture pack folder button now works on Mac
Fixes:
- Fixed bug when Minecraft doesn't save your progress, stops generating chunks and freezes all the mobs.
- Fixed the Enderdragon not dealing any damage to the player after it has been hit once
- Fixed explosions not pushing back players
- Fixed buckets not picking up or placing water within the spawn protection

Um no. They are fixing the smp bugs anyway.
I like the idea of LAN network style server. I have 3 people in my house that play the game and it'd be a lot easier to host something like this instead of having to create a whole new, outward facing server just for my family to play on.
Don't push it, they just moved into their new office, and didn't have much time.
Snapshots are not for playing minecraft, your items wont be there because certain variables have changed in the coding, you should now have learned that snapshots are for Previewing the game ONLY. Don't play minecraft on a snapshot, unless you are testing the game.
its really overpowered in pvp servers and not handy when you want to use it for quick transport in a friend hosted server!
Minecraft's Singleplayer mode and Multiplayer mode are being merged, so that mods are compatible with both singleplayer and multiplayer, instead of just the normal singleplayer mode. I beleive this is preparation for the official Modding API that is possibly (Probobly not) coming out in 1.3, otherwise it will be for 1.4 or 1.5.
THANK GOD.
Aw, but I liked the idea of being able to use Ender Chests like mailboxes...
Why not have it be capable of doing both? It obviously stores items in Enderspace, so it could easily have the capacity of a large chest while being the size of a small chest. Then you could divide that large storage space in half, giving you 27 personal inventory slots and 27 world inventory slots.
Here is how you do it. First of all. Open the zipped folder. Next, copy the .JAR file that is in there. Then open run and type %APPDATA%. Then double click .minecraft. Open the bin folder. And delete the old minecraft.jar. There you have installed it!
Um, I know that. And the mod api is in 1.4.
