I'm about to upgrade my 1.3.2 server to 1.4.2, but before i did i wanted to know if i would need to do anything special to be able to benefit from the new features of 1.4.2. I'm under the understanding that all i have to do is drop the latest 1.4.2 build into the server folder replacing the older version of craftbukkit, update any plugins i have and start the server up, i'm i correct to assume this?
Yea that should do it. Be sure you use the correct plugin versions for 1.4.2 ( plugins like NC+, DisguiseCraft, Orebfuscator, ..) or it will break your server it 2 parts. I always recommend to try on localhost or something first to see if it works or not. On localhost you cant lose anything if the server fails to load but if that happens on your public server then its bad...
