This is from a post on notch's (creator of minecraft) blog Hopefully it means no more broken mods yay!
Some thoughts about release schedule during beta
Here’s an idea!
* All commit comments are public to everyone. Possibly even tweeted out
* Everyone who has bought the game can download the latest nightly build. These will almost certainly be quite buggy.
* Before doing a release, we make a special Release Candidate build. You can download these as well, and they’re supposed to be not buggy. (But they will be.
)
* Once the release candidate works fine, it will be released as the new official version. This will probably be once or twice per month.
Perhaps something like that might work!
