Changes:
- Monster Spawners now support extra information for the mobs it spawns. This allows unmodified games to have spawners for special variants of mobs. The player still requires external or modified means to set these parameters, though. Some examples of what Monster Spawners can spawn are Charged Creepers, Endermen holding specific blocks, Green Robe Villagers, and Villagers with custom trade offers.
- Performance improvement.
- Added crafting recipes for wooden stairs
- Fixed changing the name of a world, loading that world, saving and quitting it undoing the world rename
- Fixed the game crashing when it automatically selects the "Scanning for LAN Worlds" item in the server list and you delete it
- Fixed the arrow representing the player on the map item not pointing in the right direction
- Fixed clicking "Save and Quit" or "Disconnect" twice quickly crashing the game
- Fixed the SMP server fairly regularly dropping all players and showing many NullPointerExceptions in the console every few hours
- Fixed save files being closed each time the world was auto-saved
- Fixed being able to duplicate sand and gravel
- Fixed placing a piston in front of another which is powered, but not extended, causing the placed piston to become broken and have the same texture on all sides
- TNT no longer drops as a ressource on creative mode
- Numerous bugfixes

On Topic: I'm really glad that this snapshot has come. 1.3 will probably be released next week and I am SUPER excited for it.
But glad to see 1.3 will get more attention it deserves in content wise and performance.
From what I heard the crafting recipe was never added at first when the new stairs was added.
The Weekly Chunk released it a day early along with new pictures of the new Mojang office.
I think he meant that now you can craft birch, jungle, & pine planks into stairs with the same color instead of it being the regular wood color (on the last snapshot you were only able to get them through Creative Mode).
So excited for 1.3, it's almost here.
Also, anyone know why snapshots dont work for me? I do what I am supposed to but it freezes on the loading screen almost all the way green.
Funny, it was Vechs' idea. He brought it up in an interview with dinnerbone.
