So now Notch and Jeb plan on releasing (something) tomorrow, whether it be an official release or a leak. Here is some tweets confirming this:

So yeah, looks like a possible 1.9? Or maybe 1.8.2? Whatever the case, looks like I now know how I'm spending my weekend (not like it's any different from usual). <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>

Edit: Looks like 1.9:

Wow notch must be VERY busy.....

woop

Good thing sawine just updated to 1.8..

I know, right? Looks like everything is getting reset, but hopefully there will be a shitload of bugfixes added in tomorrow, like with the enderman and the experience orbs.

Lol wtf snowmen?

That is all.

Jeb seems to be doing more work than notch.

Edit: New picture of a new mob
