I've been adopting each pre-release as they came out lately and with the last two, 1.8.1pre4 and 1.8.1pre5, I've noticed something pretty obvious with the world maps Amidst 3.7 is producing (in random seed generation mode).
I keep getting worlds (over half the time) with spawn within 1000 blocks of areas of Extreme Hills, Extreme Hills +, and, reasonably often, even Extreme Hills M. These worlds, when I create them in Minecraft have really spectacular vistas in them with these biomes reminiscent of the fantastic views and terrain of the latter Beta versions.
Before just about the only way to get tall terrain besides Savanna Plateau and Savann Plateau M was to create a world in Amplified which, IMHO, just looks very unnatural.
Am I just hitting a lucky streak finding all these seeds or is Mojang "tweaking" the terrain generator to give us worlds more like those of 2012?

Actually, now that I've become more sensitive to this subject I'm now noticing that there seems to be more hills biomes in all the different biome types.
IE: forest hills, jungle hills, taiga hills, etc.
Maybe I'm just noticing them more and they were there before but I currently doubt it.

OK, I just restarted Amidst using my 1.8 profile and the same is true. The hills, +, and M sub-biomes are seemingly more common.
It's becoming more possible that it's all in my head.
Edit: Just tried PCMCv1.710 and got the same map.
Apparently this is a characteristic of the new world generator that came out in 1.7.2 and I just never noticed it.
It does seem strange that I've found so many of these worlds in the last two days.
