Bukkit, CraftBukkit & Spigot 1.11 Released

All,

Our software for Minecraft 1.11 has been released for general usage. For a brief summary of API changes, you should please see the draft API thread. For server owners, you should please note that the packaged SQLite version has been upgraded from 3.7.x to 3.15.x. This means (like your worlds), your databases may also not be backwards compatible if you downgrade - so please back them up. It should also be noted that the current jar releases have an expiry of 3 days ± 1 day, so you will be required to update them frequently to ensure you have the latest and greatest.

It is also a good time to point out that when seeking support from us or the community, the only supported server versions are recent CraftBukkit & Spigot 1.10.2 / 1.11 versions. Any other version puts you at risk of already fixed bugs, and exploits. Additionally as per the README.md, the server software is open source and we welcome good quality code contributions, especially during this busy time.

If you are reporting a bug to JIRA, please make sure that you have compared the results between Vanilla, CraftBukkit & Spigot, and also the 1.10 versions before reporting - this speeds up the process for us immensely.

I’d also like to personally thank the testers on their help on the SpigotCraft server, especially @cindy_k, @ScruffyRules & @ssamjh - we’ve managed to fix a heap of issues including several crashes and duplications, which should make this one of the most stable releases yet.

In order to get 1.11, simply run the latest BuildTools with the required arguments. 1.11 will become the default version when we are confident that most bugs are ironed out.

Code (Text):

java -jar BuildTools.jar --rev 1.11

If you haven't used BuildTools to create a server jar yet, it is suggested you first read the 1.8 announcement and the additional BuildTools info thread.

Enjoy,
