If anyone manages to log in to Minecraft, they'll likely be updated to 1.3, probably making access to servers impossible until they've been updated.
Aware of rl issues as posted here; no hurry.

The new lighting effect looks nice. The bed definitely should have been there since alpha, but good to have it now anyway. Let's see how complex electric/mechanical projects get now with the new repeaters.
This will probably be my last update until I decide to buy the game (something I avoid for fear to get hook up). It's probable the next update will be through HTTPS protocol, so the famous "auto updater" will remain useless soon.
I know, I shouldn't have done that for a really cheap indie game. But it really picked some curiosity on me, wondering what was all that fuzz about. Now that I know, chances for getting hooked up on-line are infinite.

I bit the bullet and updated. The new "smooth lighting" option looks really really great when viewing terrain from a distance, but there's a fair bit of mosaic or dithering present when looking at nearby or low-light objects.
As Tfin mentions, servers will need an update, and maps have to be converted to use the new lighting engine (this is automatic in the client, not so sure about what's required for servers).
Seconded on the awareness of rl issues; definitely no hurry.

The repeater should actually simplify the circuitry, which will of course lead to more complex applications. How they can get more complex, I don't know.
A 1-tick delay goes from being a complex abuse of a glitch, needing a north-south oriented stack of torches, to being a single block with a wire on each side. This applies for all odd numbers when you don't want to invert the signal, and even-numbered clocks.
A 2-tick delay goes from _█/_█/_ to _▄_, same as 1,3, and 4; the difference increases as they get longer.
Circuits will be a little easier to follow, though the various logic gates won't change much, being entirely based on an arrangement of NOTs.
I expect the biggest change there will be for redstone music, which is still limited to 2 octaves, but has easier timing control now.

Sweet... My Pacman sculpture will play the intermission music as soon as I have some redstone and a free Sunday afternoon.

Helpself to all my redstone... I haven't used any, just keep storing it up. :P

Yeay! Wondered why he didn't have those before.

The texture pack list could be scrolled before by dragging the background. Herr Persson simply forgot because he's not an UI type of guy.
