As far as I know, I don't think Bukkit will be updating, due to DMCA takedown requests at Bukkit & Spigot. http://dl.bukkit.org/dmca/notification.txt Sponge will hopefully replace Bukkit, and is licensed under MIT to avoid the problems that have occurred recently(above). http://spongepowered.org/ If you want to "update" now and allow 1.8 clients to join, Spigot has a protocol hack build which is running 1.7.10 but allows new clients to join. New items/features will not work with this.
