What is new in 0.6.0?

• Signs
• Armor
• Applying process is similar to smelting: choose from armour on the left and see a preview of the player on the right

• The Sky and Clouds (Appearance varies between fast and slow devices)
• Improved D-pad
• Design is more blocky and less rounded
• When in flight mode, there is a "wing" icon on the jump button
• Sheep can be colored with dyes
• Blocks:
• Netherrack
• Nether Brick
• Block of Quartz

• Cracked Stone Brick (creative only)

• Stairs:

• Slabs:

• Items:

• Upside-down stairs, corner stairs
• Slabs can be placed in up position (needs testing on small screens)
• Sand and Gravel are affected by gravity

• Recipes for crafting slabs give 6 slabs instead of 3 (as in PC version)
• Nether Reactor spawns Netherrack blocks instead of Obsidian

The update is really nice and the sky is extremely pretty. Sadly there have been numerous bugs and it is my hope at least that a patch comes out soon to fix them. It was a big step for pocket edition earlier today.
