    Probably not :p
    Evil's posts are always same old "Bukkit Development Build Whatever has been released"
    I never really read them :(

    Well anyway this is going to screw over 90% of my plugins! (Especially the ones that use SQL and player names for keys)

    Quantum64 you will have to update them to use player UUIDs. it shouldn't be that hard, the player name and UUID are both representable as a String. Use their UUID in place of their player name, you can access it using methods found on that post on the front page.

    There's not much point in complaining about it on the Bukkit forums. They're just going along with changes Mojang has made to the way Players are identified; with a UUID instead of a name, to allow players to change names in the future.

    edit: forgot a word
