Some further info display to go with this feature is yet to come, and further testing for possible bugs is also needed.
Related info:
New FPerm "ACCESS" which is granted to faction leaders and officers by default. This FPerm allows you to bypass access restrictions throughout your faction territory, and (along with the "factions.access" Bukkit permission below) allows you to change access settings for any chunk owned by your faction.
New permissions:
factions.access - Ability to grant territory access for your faction, if you have the proper "ACCESS" FPerm (defaults to leaders and officers only). Added to factions.kit.halfplayer permission kit.
factions.access.any - Ability to grant territory access for any faction on the server. Added to factions.kit.mod permission kit.
factions.access.view - Ability to view territory access info for your own faction. Added to factions.kit.halfplayer permission kit.
New command:
/f access [view|p|f|player|faction=view] [name=you] - view or change the access information for the chunk you are in. If "view" or nothing is specified, it will simply display the info. If "p" or "player" is specified, a player will be granted access, or removed from the list if they were already granted access. If "f" or "faction" is specified, the same will be done for the specified faction. The name defaults to yourself or your faction if not specified. If your own faction is specified, you will toggle restricted access for the chunk so that normal faction members can be denied access, unless they are in the access list.
Examples:
/f access - view access list, if in your own territory
/f access p SomePlayer - grant access to player "SomePlayer" for the current chunk, or remove them from the access list if already there
/f access f - toggle restricted access for the current chunk (since faction name isn't specified, uses your own faction), assuming you're in your own factions territory
Note that the player cannot currently already be in another faction; if they are, you'll need to /f kick them first. Also note that if the faction isn't open (with no invitation required), the player isn't invited, and you don't have the factions.join.any permission or have admin bypass mode on, the attempt will also fail.
Also, added new log method which accepts arguments (like the msg method).
New permission factions.powerboost which is required to use the above command. This permission is added to the factions.kit.mod permission kit.
example usage:
/f powerboost p Player1 1.5 (give player "Player1" a bonus of 1.5 power)
/f powerboost faction SomeFaction -6 (give faction "SomeFaction" a penalty of -6 power)

Fix for a potential NPE in FPlayer autoLeaveOnInactivityRoutine.
Added CaptureThePoints and CombatTag to our softdepend list so they can potentially cancel Factions commands.
Also, a couple more minor bugfixes are included for /f home payment giving the wrong message, player/faction descriptions being wrong for console messages, and potential NPE in new faction leader promotion routine if faction was permanent with no current leader.
New permissions:
factions.leader.any - allows use of /f leader on any player in any faction
factions officer.any - allows use of /f officer on any player in any faction
factions.join.any - allows player to join any faction, bypassing invitation process for closed factions (the same as players with /f bypass enabled can do)
Vault: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/vault/
Note: for proper faction bank support, if you're using iCo5 or EssentialsEco, I recommend waiting for Vault 1.2.5 to be released which addresses faction account creation issues related to those.
