Minecraft 1.4.2 was released today which is really good news and 
has lots of new features, such as Beacons, Carrots on sticks and
a new boss called a Wither, who is rock hard, so get your amour 
enchanted before trying to defeat it.

To play all you need to do is restart your default Minecraft server.

 

If you have updated your Minecraft client to 1.4.2 today you 
will not be able to log onto your CraftBukkit 1.3.2 server 
because they don't work together. You will get an outdated 
server message.

When will CraftBukkit be updated to 1.4?

The best answer we can offer is from EvilSeph himself:

With the Minecraft 1.4 release date fast approaching, a lot 
of people are wondering when we will be releasing a CraftBukkit 
Recommended Build for Minecraft 1.4. We hope this short 
announcement will answer those questions.

Due to the rapid release of preview builds for the impending 
1.4 update, we are unable to guarantee that we'll have a 
compatible CraftBukkit Recommended Build out in time 
for the release of Minecraft 1.4.2. Although we started 
working on the update immediately after the Minecraft 
1.4 preview was made available to the public, each new 
preview build leads to delays in our update process as we, 
essentially, need to start over with each one.

Your Options If you use CraftBukkit

Revert to the default minecraft_server.jar

The Default minecraft server uses 1.4.2, this will let players 
who have updated join your server, unfortunately you will lose 
all plugin support.


Wait for the craftbukkit.jar to be updated

Until a 1.4 server jar is released, players would have to ensure 
that they are running a 1.3.2 client in order to join.
When Craftbukkit 1.4 is available, we will notify you.

Use a Custom Minecraft Launcher

A Custom minecraft launcher allows you to run multiple versions 
of minecraft, so you can get onto 1.4 and 1.3 servers from one client
