Judging from Notch's twitter, the patch will be released at midnight Sweden time (6PM Eastern).

Unfortunately portals and minecarts won't be working in multiplayer.  You can generate a hell-only MP map, but you can't move between them yet.

So from the sounds of it, he set the bar high.. And actually did okay in getting close to meeting it?

Close enough. That said: I'm still sort of frustrated that he says "SMP is highest priority" then doesn't follow through on that idea at all. I'm hoping the SMP problems (The Slip, Minecarts, Health) are all fixed relatively soon, but my pessimistic estimate is that he'll take another break after this patch and we won't see an update for at least three or four weeks.

portals ... won't be working in multiplayer

:oh:

Of the three things Ziiro mentioned, I'm only anxious for two of them. Don't get me wrong: I want mutliplayer to have health, eventually. But until the novelty wears off of constructing things that you effectively can't in single player, I don't really want to bother with constantly killing myself by falling and lava.

I guess what it comes down to is what people want out of Minecraft. My initial vision I had for Minecraft SMP was something along the lines of a multi-player dwarf fortress set-up. If you're into the creative aspect more, I see why you'd hate health and mobs.

I think that with the new company stuff, he traded acceleration for top speed. The 0-100 is kind of painful, but once things get rolling and smoothed out, it's gonna be faster than if he was still chipping at it alone and had never "wasted" time setting up a Thing.

Of course maybe I'm being overly optimistic?

Minecraft.net is down.  Guessing there may be a wee bit of stress on their server.

Notch says that the full SMP implementation will be released with the transition to beta.  Don't know when that will be, but I don't think there's much more content-wise to add before that.

That is the most beautiful picture I've ever seen.

And I've seen a lot of pictures of naked girls in my time.

To be fair to Notch, he said a few times that "SMP is highest priority (besides for the Halloween update)." Personally I'd rather have more single player features than SMP right now anyways, because SMP seems more like "Get to the point where single player is boring much faster" and keeping peoples interest is important. His next goal will be moving into Beta (Which means SMP = Single Player Survival), which is fair at this point. So in short I a 100% satisfied with how Notch is handling everything, besides perhaps promising a lot and not being able to keep up entirely (though he came damn close). In the future I'm more excited about minecarts in multi than health, personally. High speed transit projects sound awesome.

I wouldn't believe it if it hadn't just happened to me.

Built a hell portal, explored hell, then I built a portal to leave and my portal to leave warped me into a dungeon, next to a chest, with a zombie eating me already.

since the Minecraft servers seem to be stable now, can we get our server updated?

I learned a few things.
One: build a portal into a cliffside. So that all sides of the portal, save the entrance, are covered.  This will teleport you into the Nether and when you turn around to come back, there will be TWO portals. So free obsidian. I tore down the second portal and went back into the first and repeated it. New portal appeared. Neato.
Two: Ghasts CAN AND WILL turn off portals, leaving you stranded if you don't have a way to reignite the portal.
Three: I AM NEVER GOING TO HELL AGAIN. Shit was "heh. This is kind of creepy" until the sounds of people crying started to play. ON REPEAT. WITH BITS OF LAUGHTER THROWN IN.
