They stopped publicizing it? I grabbed it straight off my download page just like every other server release.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.7.2/minecraft_server.1.7.2.exe
This is still a problem in release 1.7.2. The ONLY text I get (Windows 7 64-bit running Oracle Java 64-bit) is the "Memory use" and the "Avg tick" (and their respective values). Everything else is solid white.
Good to know. I'll give the raw JAR file a try tonight.
And yes, the server works fine. I just miss being able to interact with that console and see log entries. Others connect just fine, and I see their names in the lower left box.
