We found a problem with the mod pack build system that caused the configs to not properly update. Please update again if you are getting missing ID errors.
Note that ComputerCraft has been crashing the server due to a deadlock in its peripheral code. This has been occurring somewhat infrequently, but we will see whether we need to personally fix the problem, or if there's an update to fix it.

You will be prompted to update your client upon launching the game.
- Added some effects to MapPad during teleportation.
- Added super-speed when walking over a line of gold blocks or smooth sandstone blocks (data value 2).
- Added a recipe to convert rotten flesh to leather by smelting.
- Fixed the issue with the ny.alice.sk89q.com mirror pointing to the old Alice 1.4 server.
- Fixed the header of the MapPad screens being offset right 35 pixels.
- Fixed some problems with friend lists not being properly saved.
- Fixed an issue with diamonds not being interchangeable as mentioned in the previous update.
- Fixed disappearing Advanced Machine Blocks and Overclockers (via a Frogcraft update).
- Disabled all Safari Nets, Auto-Spawners, and Porta-Spawners from MFR, which should have been disabled from the beginning (but was not due to the switch over of the mod pack maintenance to the mod pack team). This is to solve the problem with severe server clock drops, some exploits, as well as a list of balancing issues.
- The Pokeballs mod from the old Vincent server has been re-enabled.
- Nether stars may be sold for cheap at spawn (for purchase) to account for this post-launch balance issue.
- There are currently no plans to refund Safari Nets or Porta-Spawners, but Auto-Spawners may have a refund program.
- Updated Applied Energistics.
- Updated Barrels, which should fix the network issues. Once testing is completed, the packet drop rule will be lifted if the tests are successful.
- Updated ChickenChunks.
- Updated ExtraUtils.
- Updated MagicBees.
- Updated NEIAddons.
- Updated Painter's Pot.
- Updated TConstruct.
- Updated Thaumic Tinkerer .
- Updated Translocator.

We've discovered Barrels Mod utilizing 60-95% of the network bandwidth of the server, and therefore we've added a rule to drop
all Barrels Mod packets.
- Those with poor Internet connections should have less of a problem staying connected to the Minecraft server.
- People with Internet data caps should consume considerably less bandwidth.
- Logins on the server should now be much faster because the barrels mod is no longer sending a massive number of packets on login.
- The side effect is now that you cannot see the amount of items in a barrel. Consider switching to other storage solutions.

We are aware of the issues with them, but we need to find out the cause.
