Well folks, it's coming!
On the 26th Mojang released the pre-release (lulz), I haven't had the time to come up with a testing server and atm we'll wait for the release to come up on the lancher.
As I've said on a post before, the survival map will get reset.
I know people get a bit pissed with map resets, but as it happened before, sometimes some parts of the map tend to start laggin like hell, being caused either by the server itself or plugins (nolagg is the first suspect), but I can't live without nolagg, but I've digged a few confs that might work better.
So, the survival server (creative will be up in a matter of hours or minutes after update) will be closed during the 2nd of August and white-listed.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO
Server will be avail ONLY to TWK-MODS and above.

It’s finally time for Minecraft 1.3! As the norm is these days, we prepare the community and server providers with a prerelease. The official release date is August 1, so that’s when everybody will get the update in the launcher.
Here’s a brief collection of all the changes made since Minecraft 1.2.5:
The game now runs an internal server in single-player mode
The single-player server can be shared on LAN, with LAN server detection
Made it possible to use client-side commands by enabling cheats (this is defaulted as disabled for old worlds)
Added an optional “bonus chest” to get started quicker
It’s now possible to trade with villagers. Added emeralds as a currency
You gain enchantment orbs from other tasks than just destroying monsters. Max enchantment level has been decreased to 30
Servers can automatically suggest and distribute texture packs
Added new world map elements (does not need a new map, but they’ll only appear in new areas)
Added cocoa beans
Added an Ender chest
Added tripwire
Wooden logs can be placed sideways
