I don't care what the new ID is. It's still breaking millions of worlds and builds. It might as well be nuclear meteor showers; it's just as destructive.
There are different kinds of interpolation (how it decides what to put in new pixels when scaling up a texture) when a texture is rescaled. Normally, Minecraft uses "nearest neighbor" interpolation, which keeps a pixelated appearance when enlarging an image. My guess is that a smoother form of interpolation was used by accident while someone was testing changes to the GUI, and this made it into a snapshot.
1. Open minecraft.jar or your favorite texture pack.
2. Open /gui/background.png in Photoshop. (use GIMP if you don't have Photoshop)
3. Image>Image Size... and set it to 128x128. (Image>Scale Image... for GIMP)
4. Save. Your background should be blurry now.
According to the code, End portals are supposed to disappear from the End or Nether before the Ender Dragon has been killed, and stay afterward. However, they always disappear. The dragon's death is supposed to set bossDefeated to true, but it apparently only does so while it generates the exit portal.
I don't see the point. All it does is make it impossible for players in Creative to build their own portals. After looking at the code, this does appear to work as intended, but it actually is a problem. What if, due to another bug, a dragon doesn't spawn in the End in SMP? Is everyone supposed to just commit suicide and respawn in the Overworld?
Why shouldn't they have an item? I actually use double slabs (specifically full slabs, which use the top texture on all sides) quite a bit in my builds.

And now, in the new snapshot, quartz slabs have been added that use 43:7. When will the War on Concrete end?

I'd like to see something like that as a rare biome.
