A new snapshot has been released. This time dubbed the Snapshot 13w37b, and it now comes with the pre-released 1.6.3.

This is the third snapshot that has been updated, but it seems that Mojang is still taking any possible bugs that you may find.

A word of caution from the developers is that you should avoid running the snapshots on an existing world, as it can result in a number of errors.

"There is a known issue with world structures such as Nether Fortresses not transitioning to 1.7 from 1.6, but loading these areas in the new pre-release 1.6.3 and then going to snapshot 13w37b (or later) should fix this," wrote Nathan Adams, aka Dinnerbone, of Mojang regarding the new snapshot.
