This is a message our host sent us, and I hereby forward it to you.
Hi,
As many of you already know Minecraft 1.6 comes out Today (Monday July 1st). If your server is currently running CraftBukkit or Vanilla Minecraft you will be affected. If you choose to update your client to 1.6 you will not be able to play on your server until you update.
You are probably wondering when CraftBukkit will release an update for 1.6, and your guess is good as ours. Their release times have been varying wildly with the new updates recently, so it's hard to predict. We also don't want to promise anything at we have no way of knowing. You can however keep checking their website at http://www.bukkit.org/ to see if they have posted any updates regarding the release for 1.6.
In the mean time you have a few choices if you are running Bukkit.
1: You can hold off in upgrading your client so you can still play on your server
2: You can use a launcher such at this one here: http://digiex.net/minecraft/mcvtool/as it allows you to switch between different Minecraft versions. Meaning you can update to 1.6, but then be able to switch to 1.5.2 and play on your server.
So yeah, while Minecraft will update, non-vanilla servers such as VillageCraft simply cannot update yet. You need to remain with 1.5.2 or use a client that allows you to switch versions. You can also switch manually by following a little guide I wrote: http://www.villagecraft-server.com/forum/index.php?topic=37
We can update once we can update. Annoyingly, that is the only answer we (and any other CraftBukkit server) has to give right now.
Cheese and green apples,

On the plus side, MCP, FML and Forge have updated so bukkit should update soon...

FML == Forge Mod Loader
And bukkit has a snapshot build, so maybe 1.6 will be quicker to update to than we thought :P
