1.5 next week!
Notch was aiming at releasing 1.5 this week, but no. There’s been significant feature creep (he’s got powered rails now, and lightning hitting a pig will turn it into a zombie pigman), so he doesn’t have time to get it out this week.
excited! powered minecarts, weather, (hopefully) achievements/statistics, (hopefully) the Pistons mod, and other game content ranked on a large scale of epic proportions! :D
But next week though!
In the meanwhile, check out this vid showing the unreleased updates:
