Time to bump BuildCraft 7 to an "RC" state: that is, we think it's stable, but we can't be sure. We're also updating BC 6 to 6.4.16 with another few tiny fixes. I personally encourage packs to start adopting BC 7; however, keep in mind that Forestry will need a TBA update and Logistics Pipes will remain incompatible for quite some time.
Grab them here, as usual.
In other news, I'm going to be taking a break from BuildCraft development and parts of the Internet in general. Don't worry, it's not your fault. I trust hea3ven to do anything he believes is necessary in BuildCraft development for now.
EDIT: If that hasn't been clarified enough: BuildCraft is safe. Not bringing too much attention to this because you as the end user shouldn't care. Just let me go and stay go.
