This update was basically just for bug's and to improve the setting's or saving of the game. Am happy mainly because it's fixed up the duplication glitch with the dispenser and furnace, which I thought spoiled the game. But 1.7.3 looks to be coming in summer ,as 4J said, but probably be mid july. However the next update, 1.8, will probably be released in august. 1.8 is a massive update giving us:

• New Mobs.
• Enderman
• Silverfish
• Cave Spiders
• New Blocks
• Stone Brick
• Stone Brick Slabs
• Stone Brick Stairs
• Brick Slabs and Brick Stairs
• Fence Gates
• Glass Panes
• Iron Bars
• Melons
• New Creative game mode.
• New features in the terrain generator.
• Optionally generated structures
• NPC Villages
• Strongholds
• Abandoned Mine Shafts
• Ravines
• New, fractal-based biome code; added and removed some biomes while making all of them more vast than before.
• Rivers flowing through/in between biomes.
• Ocean Biomes, that are deeper and much more vast than before.
• Mountain biome
• Swamp
• Snow in Taiga and Tundra biomes do not generate for technical reasons. They return in Beta 1.9.
• New ocean floor; random mix of sand, dirt, and clay.
• Because of this, clay is much more common.
• New combat Mechanics.

• Hold-to-charge bows
• Critical hits.
• Hostile mobs perform attack animations.
• Mobs killed by players drop tiny flashing Experience Orbs that add to your experience bar.

• New Food System.
• There is now a food meter.
• Food no longer heals directly but indirectly: if the food meter is above 90%, heals about every 5 seconds.
• All food (except Mushroom Stew) are now stackable.
• Food takes 1.6 seconds to consume, accompanied with an animation.
• 5 new food items.
• Melon Slices.
• Raw Chicken.
• Raw Beef.
• Cooked Chicken.
• Steak, which has Cooked Porkchop's old texture. Cooked Porkchops' new texture is a tan shade of the same sprite.
• Eating any raw food or Rotten Flesh has a chance to give the player food poisoning which makes the Hunger bar decrease three times as fast.
• New seeds for farming: pumpkin seeds and melon seeds that produce Pumpkins and Melons respectively.
• A new achievement: "Kill a skeleton with an arrow at 50 meters".
• Added Sprinting
• Mob changes
• Passive mobs will randomly flee if attacked by the player or other mobs (such as Wolves).
• Zombies drop Rotten Flesh instead of Feathers.
• The snout on pigs now protrude from their head.
• Skeletons now hold full-size bows.
• Player-to-mob damage decreased by half a heart.
• Arrows that hit a mob visually "stick" into the mob rather than just disappear.
• Skeleton arrows originate from about their eyes to the bow, instead of above the head.
• Animals no longer despawn which makes it possible to capture them.
• Shears can now collect Tall Grass and the new Vine
• New improved lighting
