Jeb recently tweeted that 1.8 will most likely not be released tomorrow (9/13/11), but an update to the pre-release that's currently in circulation was highly likely. Mojang wants to make sure this release is the best it can be, and is continuing to squelch bugs even as they fine-tune the features.
Players who are still looking for bugs in the 1.8 should make sure to submit or update bugs they find here, so Mojang can facilitate a smooth transition to 1.8!
I didn't even know they moved the date the 13th. It was for Friday, then today, now it won't be releasing tomorrow either? What? Can you guys just give us accurate information or an estimate (Maybe a week ahead) of when this is actually going to be fully released? Or are we going to keep getting "It's going to release tomorrow. (Next day) It won't be releasing tomorrow!"
I don't mind you're taking your time with it but this is just getting annoying.

This is turning out like HLEpisode3.....Flippin heck. Servers get rdy for the update and so do clans but then suddenly its moved. This is gunna be the 2nd time now? Sry but its getting annoying.
You what makes me sad?
Not the fact that Minecraft 1.8 has been delayed, no Ive palyed the pre release and I understand Mojangs thoughts, Its the fact that so many of the players fail to understand that makeing a game is extremely hard work. Someimes life happens and sometimes you dont get what you want. Im acually EXTREMELY happy that 1.8 has been delayed cause I really want to see the bugs in the update ironed out.
So far Im extremely pleased with what Ive seen, while I agree on the pre-release its hard to find many of the new things like npc towns(though i believe its a bug, maybe), and I really am exited for the full release of 1.8 and the inevitable 1.9.
They shouldve RELEASED THE GOD-DAMN THING ALREADY THEY ARE GOING TO LOSE EVERYONE EXCITMENT AND IF THAT HAPPENS when 1.8 COMES OUT EVERYONE WILL SAY o wel just another update, DO THEY WANT THAT TO HAPPEN
NeceptionX, you need to calm down on the useless all-caps rage mode. 1.8 is being fine-tuned, if you're going to freak out about it, get the pre-release, it's extremely fun.
ah crap, i was looking forward to it today, but i'd rather have it delayed and it working right when they do release the update, i have yet to play the pre-release (i downloaded it, just gotta install it) but after i've heard the bugs, i'm backing EVERYTHING up, just in case, can't wait mojang!
Why is it that when game companies don't reach deadlines, there are little if any consequences, while if a large business or corporation fails, people get fired?
Because game companies are producing a product that we will all receive at once. They are not a corporation where if they delay, everything falls apart for the community. Also, corporations where people are fired for being human (i.e, making mistakes, working slow) are evil and maniacal companies who ignore their own humanity (that is my opinion, at least). Do not use that as an example. Jeb is working by himself on this project.

I don't mind waiting.
1.8 pre-release was really fun but I had trouble playing it due to the bugs, so I can wait as long as it takes. Work them kinks out baby!
