Talk:Java Edition 1.8

Why create this page?
I am confused as to why this page was created. The Upcoming features page lists all of the new features for an upcoming update. Therefore this page is useless. 72.68.68.219 21:50, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I completely agree. This goes on the Upcoming Features page. Also, 1.8 can be known as the Adventure Update. Dragon29 29 (talk) 22:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC)


 * See this topic; it's part of a plan to rework the way we list upcoming features and version history. -- Orthotopetalk 01:31, 3 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Basically, we're splitting up each version to their own page, so they're not all crammed together on the barely usable version history pages. As a side effect of that, we can create a page for a planned version, then when it comes out we just remove the planned text from the page, rather than copy the text from the upcoming features page, losing all the edit history.
 * For now, this will only apply to 1.8 and its snapshots, while we work out the best way to do this. Then it will be applied to previous versions and other editions. –Matt ᐸ Talk Contribs ⎜ 01:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
