New sk89q Features in CraftBukkit?

I'm pretty sure I'm posting this in the right place. When you read the CraftBukkit twitter feed, you see interesting things in the recent history:

[CraftBukkit] http://bit.ly/eSIUJB sk89q - Allowed torches to be placed on glass, signs, and fences. 1:20 AM Apr 7th via GitHub Service Hooks
[CraftBukkit] http://bit.ly/gg8wQK sk89q - Made fences stackable. 1:20 AM Apr 7th via GitHub Service Hooks
[CraftBukkit] http://bit.ly/gbBY2i sk89q - Changed spawn to be exact. 1:20 AM Apr 7th via GitHub Service Hooks

I haven't tested the exact spawn bit yet, because I haven't done much dying. But I did try to stack fences up, to no avail, and I did try to place torches on fences, to no avail; I'm running the RB 670 according to my server console. I believe that's the newest update at this moment, although I could be wrong of course. I'm not sure about all these versions.


Am I missing something? Do I need a client mod to do these things? Because I'd really, really like to place torches on fences.

 

Those changes are to a separate, private branch, I suspect for purely personal use. None of those changes are in the official releases.

 

You're breaking my heart, Afforess. Thanks for the info, though. For what it's worth, I heartily request that they be merged. So, not worth much.

EDIT: Hey - what if they were merged... with options in the server.properties toggling them, defaulting off, so fans of vanilla can be happy with their, uh, fewer features? In fact, if there were just one option

sk89q = true

rolling all these edits together, I'd happily enable it and never ever look back ever.

 

Oh good, I was so confused about why craftbukkit would be changing minecraft features lol.
