It wasn't such a long wait after all, as 4J Studios announced that the Minecraft TU15 for the Xbox 360 version is already rolling out.

However, for those playing on the PS3, it may take a while longer. "We'll let you know when #MinecraftPS3 Patch 1.05/TU15 passes Sony's testing. Hopefully not long..." said the developer.

Both updates were passed at almost the same time for testing, and the change list for both are pretty much the same. So even if you're playing on the PS3, you may want to check the change list below for future reference, once it starts rolling out.

Minecraft 1.7.7 now out

Still on the announcements from Mojang, the Minecraft 1.7.7 has already been officially released complete with updates, bug fixes and the awaited support for renaming feature. Note that renaming is not yet available, but it's getting there.

Minecraft 1.7.7 also requires you to update your servers, which is pretty much mandatory for the 1.8 release. According to the developer, the profiles are not compatible between the two 1.7.7 server and those from earlier, so it's a must that you are in the correct server mode.

Mojang on Heartbleed: What has been done and what to do

Heartbleed has been affecting a number of web sites and an even greater number of people--some of whom don't even know it yet. And to make sure that their fans and gamers are not at risk of being affected, Mojang has also acted on the situation.

"As soon as we realized the severity of the exploit, we decided to shut down all of our systems until a fix was available. This is why you were unable to login yesterday. We then made sure that all of our services that use SSL no longer had this vulnerability before bringing them back online. We also updated all of our SSL certificates," said Mojang on their official Web site.

Like other services, Mojang is also advising Minecraft players to change their Minecraft/Mojang account password to avoid any chances of compromises, especially if the password has been typed sometime within the last few days.

One more thing related to Heartbleed: Mojang has discontinued the support for the legacy Minecraft launcher pre-version1.6. This means that anyone who is still using an older version of Minecraft should download the current launcher, which also lets you play older versions anyway.
