Seriously,you don't get it.Notch didn't say "LOL 1.7.0000001337 UPDAT WIL BE A PRICKSTON UPDAT AND U WIL HAV TO W8 6 MONTS FR TEH NEXT UPDAT AND HOHOH LOL",because he know that if he does that,only 1.6 buyers will stay.
I quote, from his tumblr,
"That means 1.7 will be released soon, containing only pistons and probably a couple of bug fixes. The adventure update will take however long it takes, and will be released as 1.8. It might be a long wait, but it will be worth it!"
Apt thread is apt... But appropriate, none-the-less. Surely we could've just renamed the other one and had a separate one for the piston update? :wink.gif:

Yeah. The 1.7 topic could either be updated to have pistons/bugfixes or just renamed to 1.8.
"Somewhere near 11/11/11." Not true, Notch didn't say that. He said they will "crunch into the full release after 1.8". He listed a lot of things to do, so I highly doubt 1.8 will be near that date.. August would be my guess.

They don't make much of sense for green.
AngelCraft 64 Texture Pack v2.0.2 (Beta 1.8.1)
Nerd, geek, server admin, guy wearing a rainbow skin (with an office suit of epicness)? That's me.
Woops. That's a bit interesting. Added more references.

...? Another quote.
"After 1.8, we’ll have to start crunching for the full release in November."
Wouldn't that hint it might be some time around 11/11/11? O_O
ravines?
wat
That would count as a 1.6 or 1.7 bug though.
The way I think of it is a biome that's underground, but who knows.
That........actually looks pretty awesome. I hope 1.8 is worth the wait.
Yeah. The 1.7 topic could either be updated to have pistons/bugfixes or just renamed to 1.8.
Right, Notch was just referring to the full release of the game with that date.
It would be nice if this topic gets pinned then.
Also he did not say official realease date 11-11-11, that was his original plan but he said that date is already booked so some time in the next week.

Have good grammar. Save us tiem.
Go look at the 1.7 thread, all the information is gone.
Anyway, changed the release date to about August 20th, no promises.
The 1.7 thread has been updated now.
Added more references and stuff.
Yah I see that now. It wasn't before- sorry. :laugh.gif:
