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!
I don't think he should keep doing release dates until he's actually SURE it will be released. When you do a "maybe" release date for a community like this, they think it's set in stone and it's 100% confirmed.
Please do this right... Just work as crazy this weekend and get it up on Monday! We have been waiting too long... New release dates keeps coming, delays and all that... We can't stand it!
Boy, I'm surprised. Are you surprised? Because I am. Actually, I cannot tell you how not surprised I am.
I'm disappointed, but it's happened before. Usually with Notch making release dates which he never holds with. Probably talking about release dates is the only thing I don't like about Minecraft.
In my opinion, it should be released today. Most of the patch is in place, and there are a few bugs left. If it were to be released today, the community would get a hold of it, report loads of bugs, then they could be patched before the weekend. Minecraft is a BETA game, and we are all beta testers. It's our job with Minecraft to improve it, and we can't do that unless they even release the update. People are just becoming more and more angry right now.

Notch isn't the one releasing 1.8, it's Jens. And he even said that it was an estimate release date.... You should be disappointed in yourself for thinking that it WAS going to release that day.
If you seriously get mad at something like this then you're certainly not a true minecraft player. You should be happy that they're doing this update and not just stopping because of ungrateful people like yourself. It's only a few days ayways. Get over it.
You will. The biome code in 1.8 isn't the finished product, notch said this already.
So 1.8 this Monday please! <3
Thats the spirit!
I hate those whining ppl saying: NOW NOW NOW
Be happy you at least get it :/
