Fixes
15 bugs fixed


 * Players are only 'on' a ladder (can climb it/fall slowly) if the lower half is in the ladder block, rather than any part of the player.
 * It is no longer possible to climb with a one-block gap in a ladder, or a ladder that starts at eye level.
 * On fancy graphics, the sides of grass blocks are now biome-specific and match the shade on the top.
 * Player movement through water has been fixed to previous speed.
 * Wolves' pathfinding now has a better understanding of doors. They will go through doors most of the time, but will sometimes get stuck on the 3-pixel thickness of the door.
 * The lighting on portals and ice has been fixed when using smooth lighting.
 * Stairs are no longer transparent to light.
 * On multiplayer, the health of wolves are now synchronized between server and client, causing wolves to only whimper when low on health, as opposed to all of the time.
 * Redstone in off state is red again.
 * Fixed saplings occasionally growing trees that stretch to world limit
 * Crops hit with water now drop seeds and wheat, as opposed to just wheat.
 * Moving minecarts will continue to move if the world is closed.
 * The Mojang logo is the correct size when the client is maximized.
 * The exploit to make chests three or more side by side by placing a water source and placing a chest in that source has been fixed.
 * + doesn't attempt to create massive .tga screenshots, which are more than 1GB in size, anymore.
 * Sugar cane can no longer be placed on any block that is not dirt.
