I can't see it on the page, where does it say it exactly? ;-;

Anyway, this is good I guess. So will you be able to change your name as much as you want or just once?
  • Multiplayer enhancements!
    • Servers can now put a 64×64 image called “server-icon.png” in their folder, that you will see on your server list.
    • You can see who’s online before joining a server; move your mouse over the player count!
    • Lots of hidden preparation for allowing name changes.

Um.. it doesn't say that name change is going to be in 1.7, it says that the update will prepare for it.

I found it before, thanks :p

That's what I was about to say. But still, it means it will be possible soon.

Well we can only assume that if they included it in the update log then they will be adding it :p

They will be adding it, but it doesn't say it is being added in 1.7.

That actually a really good argument. Maybe they'll make it like a global /nick feature so that your TRUE account is just masked idk
I'd say if you change your name the legacy behind that name is wiped from every database.

It's possible, but I think I read on mc wiki or somewhere that jeb said bans will still be there, so it could mean that the legacy still remains. Idk if it's true, but yeah :p

Nope. Apparently there is some sort of unique identification code that has already been assigned to every Minecraft account. It will just work off that.
