- on Android, you can get more than 3 levels of view distance again
- the game now handles when a world is corrupted and not repairable showing an error screen

- mobs won’t spawn anymore in peaceful, and existing ones will be removed
- correctly despawning entities on clients
- fixed soft shading on wool tiles
- possibly fixed other lock-ups and crashes

Pocket Edition recently saw a seriously awesome update, 0.9.0! Having already been hard at work on 0.9.1, Mojang opted to skip past that version (since it hasn't been released yet anyway), to include a massive list of fixes and improvements before it goes live! Keep in mind, 0.9.2 is not yet public, but should be available in the very near future.
