Minecraft 1.8 didn't release today, and evidently it's not releasing tomorrow either. I'm not expecting it until at least the end of the week, and since they don't like to release on Fridays (though I'm not sure why), I'm counting on it being made available by next week Monday.
However, a few major things they've been working to include in the 1.8 update:
-Stronghold counts per map have been increased from 1 to now 3
-Pre-1.8 maps will now be able to generate 1.8 structures (previously, the items from 1.8 could be spawned, but wouldn't generate).
-a TON of bugfixes. This isn't going to be a bug-ridden release like we've grown used to. The new features are supposed to be clean and work properly this time.
