Jeb updated the "most likely" release date for 1.8 to September 12th, 2011! Bear in mind, this isn't a guaranteed release date - just the most likely one as of this writing. Keep an eye out for it!
Additionally, it has been confirmed that - at present - experience orbs will not have a practical use until 1.9. Further, while villages will be generated, they will be curiously absent of a population. How eerie! We will continue to provide information as it surfaces, including the release of 1.8! Stay tuned!
Two things. Why do we have to wait so long for the update? I understand it is for clearing up bugs and tweaking, but just release it! The Minecraft community will find the bugs and they will be reported, the game is in Beta, it is going to have bugs regardless. I think it would have been a better move to release it earlier, because it would have been less work finding the bugs and fixing it, the community would have found some of the bugs as well. And nobody should reply to me saying that you would rather have a no buggy update. We ALREADY have a ton of bugs in 1.7.3! And we still play it, just because 1.8 has some bugs does not mean that the game will become unplayable. As of right now it is, all of the servers I play on are shut down waiting for the 1.8 update. I refuse to play single player at the moment because I want to start fresh with a 1.8 world. Meh, I doubt that this comment will even be looked at by the Mojang crew but, I just wanted to get my point out there.
People keep complaining about it being pushed back. I'd rather have a 1.8 that works well and takes longer to fix than a sucky 1.8 that comes out as soon as possible. Be patient!
You can at least release creative mode separated. It will help keep people busy and the update won't take as long to download as it would including creative.
For all intents and purposes, I'm going to personally believe 1.8 won't be out for a few weeks.
I won't take a 'guesstimate' as a date, so I'll make my own!
