Jeb recently mentioned that 1.8 will most likely not be released on September 8th, to allow time for more thorough testing and quality assurance. Still, there seems to be a careful optimism regarding the release date - while it may not be on the 8th, it will still likely be in the near future.
On a more positive note, the PNG file containing the new food and "experience" effects was released, take a look!
Even if it were released with bugs, isn't that what we paid for? Notice the great big "BETA" sign? Yea, that's us at the moment, we paid to play a game in development, which means we paid to test it and we are supposed to expect and look for bugs at the same time as enjoying the game. I don't mind that they want to release it with as few bugs as possible, albeit it makes our jobs harder, but I know a lot of people would prefer it if it wasn't being updated repeatedly for the next week following the initial update.
Have fun testing it before release Mojang : )

Maybe it's so epically good that they're just keeping it to themselves o.o
1. People need to chill, its not a big deal if it takes a few more days for the update. jeb and notch work very hard.
2. that being said i would prefer the update with bugs a few days earlier, then clean later.
I understand how programming and bug testing may be difficult, but I believe that, a game as big as minecraft,
on it's beta days, could be released without a fully bug revisement, because the entire minecraft community would love to bug report, Jeb is not working alone at mojang, we are all here to support always when necessary!Please release 1.8, and we will help!
=D
we signed up for beta id rather get beta content damnit
also why put all the **** in 1 package when its better to part it out so that its to the public quicker... these 2-3 month waits for a patch are retarded
I agree with all of you, thay need to take their sweet time to fix bugs and such, but that doesint stop this from being annoying. Really annoying, as well as creating annoying whiners. Like i was so exited, i was waking up like a happy boy on christmas every day looking forward to the update. Well, too bad i guess.
Damn it mojag! I really don't even care if it is glitchy, I just want it. Honestly, its not even worth the wait. Notch dissapointed me with the fetures he added in in a month and a half's time. The features themselves aren't 100% amazingg. >

I'm not crazy. I just like to kill.
Actually, he just linked to the old post saying it was the 8th >.>
That information needs updating. It is now less likely that it will come out on the 8th, according to Jeb, the lead designer for MC atm.
I'll be laughing hard if there's still a ton (note: TON) of bugs, which you hoped will not be there because of how much time they spent.

Most of us have another week of work/school to go to while we wait EVEN MORE for 1.8!
We all hate the extra 1.8.1, 1.8.2, 1.8.3 updates. Give them time people! >_>
