Bug fix version released by Jeb. No server software released yet though strangely (NVM. Server software released now. Updating the server) (Server has now been updated!)
Oh and bug fix list:
* SSP chunk memory leak * Mineshaft density (half now) * Increased stronghold count to 3 per map instead of one * Furnace tile entity crash * Crafting bench ghost items * Vines (and leaves) crash in nether * Use item animation in SMP (blocking and eating) * Blocking in SMP * Sprinting with right-click or sneaking * Added some blocks to creative mode * Fixed dropping items * Nothing can be eaten in creative mode * Enderman client-side problems * Chicken and cow drop burned food * Squids drop exp * 1.7 worlds should get structures * Farmlands rejecting melon and pumpkin seeds * Bonemeal on melons and pumpkins * Bonemeal on mushroom only works on dirt or grass * Added item drops for cracked and mossy smooth stone brick * Adjusted fog strength at low positions
Vines also no longer spread like crazy. They spread infinitely down, but only in other directions provided there is no more than 4 vines within range.
ProTip: Don’t eat rotten flesh. You get icky and lose health
Same with chicken
I’m not sure because i ate raw chicken after eating rotten flesh and nothing happened.
Nom nom nom rotten flesh… what were you guys saying…
Shit.
Does anyone elses game keep crashing on SSP?
‘1.7 worlds should get structures’
So, if we wanted to, we could simply re-gen the old map? Although I would very much like something completely new. One that doesn’t spawn you into water preferably…
I guess 1.8 isnt comin out today… AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
ragequit
Even if we were to regen our current 1.7 world, the biome generation code has changed so drastically that it won’t even be remotely the same. It would practically be like generating a new world.
Minecraft 1.8 incoming!

(Double post - this is important!)
That was a fast news update! It seems 1.8 will be up as soon as his site is. Is the 1.8 server pre-release compatible with the full version?
1.8 is now available. The server software from pre-release 2 is not compatible but I have updated it to the latest now. See you guys in the server! 
Awesome! Time to wait for bukkit 
should be soon since they’ve been working with mojang

Why am I sceptical? xD
Well the first time he said that he was accutally refering to the “monster” mob. The second time he said it for “no reason”.
i have tried to get onto the server after i updated minecraft and it says that the serve is outdated so i cant play on PCB 
Make sure to get on the 1.8 server it has a different IP.
This was thought of a long time ago but… are we going whitelist?
