At long last Tekkit has updated to use Minecraft 1.4.6!!!!!!!!

From the Technic Pack website:

"It’s finally here! A new version of Tekkit! One geared for smaller servers that takes advantage of the new way Minecraft handles multiplayer and arising out of the chaos that is the forgebukkit fiasco, we present Tekkit Lite. The original Tekkit has also been renamed to Tekkit Classic.

Why is it called Tekkit Lite? It’s definitely not because of a shortage of mods. Tekkit Lite has no out-of-the-box Bukkit support like Tekkit Classic had. We include ForgeEssentials which is a forge mod that hopes to replace some of the most common Bukkit plugins all in one package. It’s made a lot of progress and I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised with the features it already has.

What’s new in Tekkit Lite? Well to start we have updated a lot of the core mods like RedPower, Buildcraft and IC2 to the latest versions. This alone brings a whole wide array of new items to Tekkit. You will also find new mods like Factorization, MystCraft, and Steve’s Carts.

Server owners please be aware that MystCraft can put a heavy strain on your server and should be disabled if you plan to make your server public.

You can find all the juicy details on what mods are included on Tekkit Lite’s page. We also have a new forum section open for discussing Tekkit Lite and a new server section.

Enjoy!"

This is, as I'm sure you are all aware, wonderful news!

But, I'm going to have to ask you all NOT to update ANY of the pages, to include information about Tekkit Lite.

We are going to have to think about how to progress forward, now that Tekkit has "Tekkit Classic" and "Tekkit Lite".
