* Boats, when broken, now drop boats - Thanks Dinnerbone for the tip!
* Re-added debug graph on F3 menu
* Signs are stackable now
     * Crafting them now gives 3 signs instead of 1
     * Stack up to 16
* Added /debug command to enable and disable profiling
* Changed a few things around pistons - Most contraptions still work fine, but some require changes to repeater delays and similar. Overall, pistons should have fewer bugs, but will appear to update slightly slower.
* Improved performance on MP and SP, including reduced CPU, RAM & bandwidth requirements
* When opening SP worlds, users are now given their local IP address & port instead of hostname & port to avoid OS conflicts
* Creative mode inventory now shows potion effects
* Fixed some bugs
     * Fixed /kill not working
     * Fixed powering specific glitched pistons crashing the game
     * Fixed a visual bug causing pistons to be partially invisible or in the wrong location momentarily
     * Fixed being able to place portals in the nether in locations where they would end up in illegal locations in the overworld
     * Fixed the game crashing when publishing SP worlds with certain language settings
     * Fixed players on minecarts, boats or pigs and spider jockeys not being displayed in the correct location
     * Fixed a bug with dispensers
     * Fixed /say not accepting some strings form the console, often triggering the help dialogue
     * Fixed being able to transmute blocks to certain data values using an orientation-dependant tripwire bug
     * Fixed drinking potions in creative not consuming the potions, but still giving empty bottles
     * Fixed signs sometimes not saving the text when placing them

What's to expect from 1.3?

I must have missed this point when I read over the changelog the first time:

Fixed being able to place portals in the nether in locations where they would end up in illegal locations in the overworld

What does that mean? Like the Portal creates a 4x5x1 hole the ground and then spawns in it?

Speaking of dirt houses. (not mine)

That's not dirt!

Illegal Position is outside x+/-32000000 z+/-32000000. x+/-30000000 z+/-30000000 is the end of real chunks (After that, chunks generate but they aren't real and you fall through them), x+/-32000001 z+/-32000001 is the start of Illegal Positions where the player can not go without getting knocked out of the world and reset. I discovered this in the snapshot that added /tp NAME X Y Z when I tried to go there.

Edit: The 1.2.5 - 1.3 change log, promoted by Jeb in the Snapshot entry: http://www.reddit.com/r/edstonehelper/comments/p6lol/planned_for_the_next_update/

So I just realized I've been using my tier 3 Divining Rod in Equivalent Exchange at short range the entire time I've had it, and I've collected enough EMC to create a Dark Matter already. I'm a loving moron.

It runs the latest snapshot, jungle spawn. I have no idea how many people it can hold and still keep a nice level of ping though...
