Talk:Java Edition 1.8.1

the bug list
‎BDJP007301@undefined good afternoon.

The reason we have those sections is so that people can tell how old bugs are. I don't think the current order clearly communicates that.

Some of the bugs are confusingly filed, too. Most bugs listed under 'From released versions before 1.8.1' together with all those in 'From the 1.8 development versions' are bugs that (for a person not playing snapshots) would have appeared first in release 1.8. That's why I created the category 'From release 1.8'.

The remaining bugs were the 'older' bugs, which players would remember from 1.7.10 and older. That's why I named it 'From released versions before 1.8'.

What the names are I don't care so much. And I recognize that we haven't had an established order of sections within release-version pages, so I understand this kind of departs from what we usually do in the snapshot pages. But, I don't think the current arrangement clearly communicates the age of the bugs.
