Minecraft 1.8.8 (Pre-)Release

We will release a new version of Minecraft, 1.8.8, to improve some functionality of Realms and fix some reported bugs & crashes. It is currently available for testing in the launcher if you enable snapshots, and will be released fully tomorrow (Tuesday) if all goes well.

This version is fully compatible with all previous 1.8 versions, but it is still highly recommend to update to 1.8.8 as soon as possible for both players and servers.

Notable bugs fixed:

• [Bug MC-80817] – Server may not start in some environments
• [Bug MC-81018] – Potential server crashing exploit
• [Bug MC-81405] – Client crashing exploit
• [Bug MC-82629] – Lag exploit with banners
