Jeb has confirmed this week's tester jar, 11w48a! Remember, this will not patch on its own, so if you'd like to help out by testing it, grab the file here, and copy the new .jar file over your existing one. Be sure to report any bugs you may find on the Minecraft Wiki here.
What's New - Find Out Here
We have discovered the following in this week's tester (expect this list to update frequently): New Features:
Taiga biomes return
Apples can randomly drop from trees
Apples will only drop from default trees (no pine or birch). You will get apple in 1/200 chance.
Farmland trampling mechanics have been altered
Farmland no longer tramples by walking on it, only jumping will affect it. Animals can no longer trample your crops.
"Void fog" gone at bedrock level in Creative mode
Bugs:
Breaking wheat can "trample" between 2 and 5 adjacent farmland blocks, this is being addressed
Placing a block next to double-doors (wooden) can cause them to force open
I don't understand this. Instead of releasing patches to the latest version, he is releasing prereleases of bug fixes. If it's minor, just patch it. Really we need some beta new features in our prereleases. Come on Jeb, give us some spoilers!
The first pre-release hasn't even been pushed out to everyone, why create another until the masses test the first possible foul-ups?
I don't think the game really deserves to be out of "beta", since their beta team consists of, well... US. I'm fine with that and all, and like anyone else i find it to be annoying at times but my main point is that, I don't think the game should be selling for $25 when all the users are still their beta testers. It should be brought back down to it's original, "beta" price.
And like everyone else... where the hell is the change log? Seems like another rushed release, and i know they're working hard on these but why the "laxi-dasial" approach?
... contains a few bug fixes and changes to farmland trampling and void fog in creative mode
Also, of course there isn't much changes. Development is slower now because Mojang doesn't want glitch-filled code in the full release of Minecraft. Quality should be higher now. In fact, I've noticed a significant FPS increase from Beta 1.8.1 to 1.0.0. My guess is that 1.0.1 will be mostly continuing tweaks and optimizations.

I hope that is the result of code optimization :biggrin.gif:
EDIT: Nevermind, it's here. Yay! Finally we get apples from trees! :biggrin.gif:

The prereleases is made only if you want to test them. . . and changelogs will only be given if its an official update and not a pre release.

SWEET!!
OMNOMNOM
That way nothing has to be dubbed "pre-release" or "patch" or anything of the sort until it is thoroughly tested.
Also, of course there isn't much changes. Development is slower now because Mojang doesn't want glitch-filled code in the full release of Minecraft. Quality should be higher now.
