Get on topic and stay there.
i will put green checkmark for confirmed stuff, red X for proven false
Quote from Guiboune »
from what I read :
No more infite burning logs
so probably a new block made of coal to compensate
wooden half blocks
cobblestone half blocks
new launcher (mostly for information from Notch and his teammates)
Jakob said in a dev diary :
"New block! This is a sweet one for you red stone junkies. A block that acts as a signal carrier, much like red stone. But on top of that, it also acts as a repeater AND a programmable delayer."
"various bug fixes" (I don't exactly know what)
"New save file format. With the new format, loading is now seven times faster. On top of that, the number of files for each saved world is drastically decreased. This new format will not destroy your current saves, as they will be converted the first time they are loaded."
"Secret update! Oh, yes. There will be that as well." (I assume some underwater thing maybe ? because Notch recently said on his blog "I’m also half-way through finishing my Advanced Diver course. Expect more underwater content in Minecraft.")
and for the release date : I don't have any idea :]
EDIT by H3xer1n: release date confirmed tuesday or wednesday
recently came across this... i know from my own following of notch's blog/twit that most of this is legit
some of it i'm not sure on
for those who need background (due to lack of knowledge) about certain things... - no more infinite burning logs
basically fixes the long-standing bug where logs have a chance to infini-burn like netherrack - new launcher
it's this LINK going official... with some perks - new save file format McRegion is official :biggrin.gif: just like Optimine was made official - secret update
99% chance for new underwater content (per notch's hints)
betterlight confirmed!
additional infos:

The most I know of it is, in the new redstone blocks
Notice the use of better light.
I have also read that an option will be to use better light from the same user.
And hay thatched roofs, and a secret block.
that vid is by "TeamMojang"
confirmed legit, it's jeb's youtube
Quote from SkyPiercers!? »
Just so you know OP, the video is in fact legit. Made by Jeb, I believe.

All information and links you need are the twitter accounts of Jeb_ and Notch!
Just read those and you'll see everything I mentioned as well as other things I left out.
twitter stuff (thanks to the guy who mentioned jeb's twit)
In case you guys didn't know...since Notch has been gone, the team has been posting journal updates on the PCgamer website. I was surprised too when I found out =/
Whenever I ask the community what they would like to read about, the topic gets the highest amount of votes (tune in to my twitter at http://www.twitter.com/JahKob to make your voice heard). As always, your wish is my command, so here’s some info about the next release:
* Wooden and cobble stone half blocks to add some more options for your designs.
* New save file format. With the new format, loading is now seven times faster. On top of that, the number of files for each saved world is drastically decreased. This new format will not destroy your current saves, as they will be converted the first time they are loaded.
* New Minecraft launcher. This is a great communication tool for us as we will be able to give you guys important information directly in the launcher.
* Various bug fixes!
* New block! This is a sweet one for you red stone junkies. A block that acts as a signal carrier, much like red stone. But on top of that, it also acts as a repeater AND a programmable delayer.
* Secret update! Oh, yes. There will be that as well.
Personally, I’m most excited about the new carrier/repeater/delayer block. Every time we release an item like this, we are blown away by what you guy make with them. The release of the music block was pure joy in that way. The whole office gathered around a computer and marveled at the creations uploaded to YouTube. If some you missed out on them, here are some top picks:
Anyways, its a good read...and I see nothing in there about infinite logs...
this basically states beds are going to be added, which allow you to turn night into day
later on, in a couple months or whatever, they'll update the beds to allow you to make your last slept-in bed your new spawn point http://twitter.com/carlmanneh/status/39022195736969216
I have to say that this update looks spectacular. The shift into Beta wasn't very good, but updates have been getting progressively more interesting. I like the thought of 'Half Wood Steps' for my bases as I like to use a lot of wood in building. I'm also looking forward to Redstone changes because Redstone is quite none-sensical to me. I can't even program a simple double door correctly. I guess since everybodies so used to Redstone as it is, it won't be changed too much which is fine.
i also use much wood in my surface structures, so wood half-steps would be a godsend
-points at siggy- i'm a redstone engineer, and this new redstone repeater combines several different circuits (which can take upwards of 20+ blocks of space) and compacts it all into a single block

- A new block: wooden half block.Notch said: new half blocks so we might get more than one.
- Ambient Occlusion has been added under the Fancy Graphics.
- No more weird desert transitions (chunks being rotated has been fixed).
- A secret block which is yet to be revealed.
Those are a few you missed.
There WONT be a block that stays on fire. Jeb_ replied with that there already is Netherrack.
There has been NO real mention of new underwater content, it was only a maybe and should be excluded from the list.
without providing any citations or links, i really have no need to change the OP lol
Quote from Inconspicularity »
Also, BetterLight will be made official (as an option) in the next patch. Good news for people with computers that aren't pieces of crap.
same as above. i need links people!

The update will be on Tuesday or Wednesday next week, as said by Notch and Jakob on their Twitter.
All information and links you need are the twitter accounts of Jeb_ and Notch!
Just read those and you'll see everything I mentioned as well as other things I left out.
there's nothing of value on the first page of notch's twitter, so that's a deadend (not going to sift thru his entire twitter history for this stuff lol)
jeb has a twitter? (kidding, i didn't even think to check his)
Quote from Airandius »
EDIT: I lol at your red text because you offer no sources either for most statements.
i also don't state anything as "the end all fact". this is here for others to provide links to new/updated info, in which case i will update the OP with the most current info
If you believe the below web site is rated incorrectly click here
RAGE.
Sounds good though. I look forward to furniture, although Notch did state that he likes seeing people getting creative in making furniture themselves from block types he's already provided. I.e. half stone step tables. I don't think he'll add too much furniture.
Article states that at release next week the bed will enable you to skip nights, in a later update next month you'll just respawn in the last bed you slept in.
/end article.
i'd prefer the bed simply passes 12 ingame hours... i'm nocturnal >.>
that's nice... there's literally no official citations in that though. idk if rps is legit or not, as this is the first i've ever heard of them
if i can get additional confirmation of rps legit, i'll add it as "unofficial" in the OP lol
RPS has always been a good news source, and they have been around a lot. It's been in contact with Notch very often, like PCG. Still, I suppose Notch or other dev should tweet it or something.
as long as they dont make it so boosters dont work anymore. i have a track that stretches halfway across my world, with so many boosters!
Notch mentioned that when (not if) they get around to fixing the bug they'll add a block or item that provides that kind of function so no worries :smile.gif:
i think the bigger issue is the fact that those who have massive minecart systems will have to go rebuild everything...
1. so probably a new block made of coal to compensate
2. cobblestone half blocks
3. 99% chance for new underwater content (per notch's hints)
1. Pure speculation, ever heard of NETHERACK?
2. Jeb_ tweeted about wooden half steeps, never heard anything about cobblestone ones.
3. Possibly, again, mostly speculation.
If you are going to require sources on everything that changes the OP, you should really think about providing sources for your own claims, ok?

You've got no links or citations at all to support including the comment about the underwater stuff, and then when someone tells you that, you say "I am not listening to you, you didn't give me any links!" How does one prove a negative like that? Where will I find a link that says Notch hasn't left a bunch of hints about underwater stuff?
He hasn't by any means, he made that one joking comment about his Advanced Diver's Course when he was halfway through his vacation and hadn't been actively involved in the development of Minecraft for over a week.
I doubt they are going to pull reefs off in a little under a week now.
If you're going to be a child, people will create another thread in which magic isn't a required element for contributing and the original poster's wishes aren't of greater importance than the accuracy of the reporting.

And here's a sneak peek of the new launcher, from Notch's twitter.
