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'm actually fine with another pre-release. They had a ton of new content in the first one and it gives them a huge pool of beta testers... all the bugs get found in 24 hours. They can have it nice and polished for the final 1.8.
Notch needs to get off his ass and actually help on minecraft and help jeb out but noooooo notch is so absorbed with side projects we will NEVER hear about.
so notch dumps all the minecraft work on one person just because notch cant get off his lazy **** and actually help
Take as long as you guys need, If you release when its not ready these same tools will be complaining about server issues and crashes and bugs. Perhaps you should just scan thru the forums and send the update to the people who actualy appreciates the hard work that goes into making these games.
catbox01 i am 12. i have had mmy own computer for 6 years. assumptions are bad because when you assume people can say **** YOU NOT ALL OF US ARE LIKE THAT. *****
All that I can manage is a long, somewhat annoyed, and disappointed sigh, as if I had just witnessed a 12 year old stick a butter knife in an electrical socket after getting electrocuted by the fork
Both Mojang and Blizzard are working hard to deliver the most polished and complete games they can. The only difference is that Blizzard doesn't tell us when they expect to be done so that we can't get mad at them when their deadlines slip.
I can wait a long time, but my main issue is that some of the features in 1.8 where supposed to be in 1.7, then we got pistons. now alot of the features in 1.8 are being put into 1.8-2 or even 1.9. why keep pushing back features, hopefully this week will get alot done now (if I recall notch tweeted that he will be back to helping jeb_ out on minecraft instead of diddling around with side projects)
I say relax and enjoy the pre-releases.

Mojang = Valve.
The game will be done when it's done.
