		I'm rather new to MCServer so I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to the latest "recommended" windows build of MCServer, I've tried the ones on the main page (The ones released today) and I just received "Failed to authenticate account!" whenever I joined.

		Did you buy Minecraft? If you didn't then disable authentication in the settings.ini (Authenticate=1 to Authenticate=0)

		Maybe they changed something again. Disable the authentication for now and see if that helps you

		You probably downloaded the version at the top of the page? The newer versions are down the page.

		Maybe the auth servers were down at the time? They've been quite unstable recently, that could be it. Test if you can't log in to a vanilla server.
