1.19 is still in certification both on Windows Phone and in Amazon Marketplace. In the meantime I updated the default texture pack and block icons.

Here’s a piece of good news for Windows Phone 8 owners (HTC 8X):

I didn’t mention it yet, but 1.19 has a setting with which you can fix the aspect ratio on 1280×720 phones and get rid of the black bars on the sides.

As far as I know, on WP8 devices there is no way for me to automatically detect the aspect ratio or use the full resolution from an XNA app. So the game must run in 800×480 upscaled, even though the devices could easily support full res. Microsoft could have allowed it with just a few lines of extra code, but they elected not to. They are trying hard to force everyone to develop for WP8. Bad decision in my opinion, but who am I to tell them.
