Bedrock Edition version history/Development versions

Starting on November 22, 2013, Mojang began to publicly release testing versions of full updates in order to get major feedback, especially for bug reporting. This enabled the official updates to be considerably more stable. They are only available to android devices and you must be approved on a google plus group by one of the devs before you can access these updates. They will appear as normal updates in the play store. Once you have updated you cannot go back, therefore playing with friends that don't have the update is impossible.

0.8.0
