Hello Everyone,

Today, I'd like to announce we have released MCForge 5.5.0.0.

First off, I'd like to say this isn't as big as some of our previous updates. An issue with our IRC Dll required us to speed up our release, and we didn't get a chance to add many features we planned to.

That said, we have (hopefully) resolved the situation with the IRC. 

The biggest feature of this new release is the new Global Chat Control Panel. This allows us to more easily manage Global Chat, and makes it to where we don't have to mute entire servers because of one problem user. We also have added support for WoM Textures.

We are making significant progress on ForgeCraft. We should be able to maintain the previously stated release date of April 10, 2012. 

Also we are making progress on the MCForge PC Remote Console, and are also preparing to release a new Android Remote Console (This time featuring a free version!)

We are aware of a number of quirky issues on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 that occur when you minimize the server to the taskbar then re-open it. We are investigating the cause of these issues and hope to address them in a future update. In the mean time, I advise you to NOT minimize MCForge. This applies to Windows 7 and/or Windows Server 2008 users ONLY. 

Of course, some bugs may have slipped past us. If you encounter any issues, please report them to us in a kind manner. If possible, please give us logs, and explain the situation that caused the error. Keep in mind that oftentimes we have to be able to reproduce the error to fix it, and the more information you can give us, the better the chances are of us finding and fixing your bug.

Please, enjoy the update, and keep your eyes peeled for MCForge 5.6.0.0. We have a lot of cool things planned!

Happy Minecrafting!
