We're now releasing the first (and hopefully only) release candidate for The Wild Update. If there are no major issues following this release, no further changes will be done before the full release. 

Happy mining!

Edit: We've now released 1.19 release candidate 2 to fix a crash.

Fixed bugs in 1.19 Release Candidate 1
