Notch has given Jeb the go-ahead to release the 2nd pre-release for Minecraft 1.8 (Adventure Update). This 2nd pre-release fixes some of the serious bugs including the random crashing and SMP issues.

You can download the 2nd pre-release directly from here. Follow these instructions to use the new jar file.
