Bukkit

Sorry it took so long; I had it ready to release late Friday night, but was tired and went to bed, and then slept in Saturday and was swamped in homework. I just released version 4.2 now, and you can get it here. It requires 1.1-R5 or later, but should work on 1.2. It doesn't support new 1.2 mobs, but it should support new 1.2 items, and support for villager profession was sneakily added awhile back so that might work too.

Not entirely... I expect most of it would work in R5/R6, but I haven't tested. General 4.2 is nearly ready, and will require R5/R6 but will not require Minecraft 1.2 (though of course it'll work just fine on 1.2 for the most part!).

Either use a different permissions system, or install the bridge (though I have no idea if the bridge still works).

If you do install the bridge and it works, you need to add the "superpermbridge." prefix to permissions containing a * (and only to those permissions).

However, I'd recommend choosing a different permissions plugin instead; PEX makes it relatively easy to migrate from Permissions 2, and Permissions 3 uses almost the same config format.

I can do even better. Version 4.1 is released!

For the impatient who know what they're doing and want to build it themselves, updated source for General is now available in the git repository. This also means that a release is (probably) imminent.

What's broken about the items.yml?

There's some good news in that I'm pretty sure I fixed the double/quadruple apostrophe issue. To be precise, I wrote some test cases for the MappedMessageFormat class (which formats the MOTD as well as all status messages from General) and tweaked at the class until the tests passed. I don't know if I have enough test cases though; I might have missed some edge case somewhere.

I don't know when this fix will be released. Maybe next week... maybe not.

Very much delayed, with a combination of school and working on getting inventory events into Bukkit.

Do you have a log of the server crash? Did General print any messages? Are you sure it's General and not, say, Bukkit?

As for the apostrophes, that is indeed a bug (one which I thought I had fixed). The official escaping mechanism is to enclose things in "backquotes" (the ` character), but I'm converting the message to a format understood by one of the Java standard library classes and then passing it through there, and perhaps something is missing in that conversion. I'm assuming you put one apostrophe in the MOTD but see four in-game?
