The server is now running 1.5.0 and the Nether has been wiped. Please be aware that we are now running a development build, which means it may have some bugs. I'll keep my eye on bukkit's progress and continue to update the build as it improves. Most of our plugins are compatible with 1.5, but I've temporarily disabled MobArena, PistonChest, and Rebalance Villagers due to compatibility issues. PistonChest might also be redundant now due to hoppers, but I'm not sure about that yet.
Please be aware that the Nether is now a much more dangerous place than it used to be. There are no roads anymore and most portals are going to have to be rebuilt by hand. I am going to start working on rebuilding the nether road infrastructure, but it's going to take some time. Also, the Nether is not pre-generated, which means that the server is going to be creating the terrain when you explore new areas. As such, it may be a bit laggy when you're exploring, so be careful near ledges for a while. I've currently popped a portal from my lair and from spawn point/floating castle portal, but every other part of the world is currently ungenerated. In summary, be careful when you enter the nether for the foreseeable future. On the positive side, quartz appears to be easy to find and there's a nether fortress right near the main spawn area inside the nether.
Also, be aware that most complex redstone circuits are probably now broken.
