Thats right, the beta for the beta of minecraft has hit version 2. You can find out everything you need to know at: http://www.minecraftforum.net/news/245-last-build-of-19-pre-release-available-now/page__st__60/
Edit: You can download the new .jar file at http://bit.ly/qJt7jd This should be put into your .minecraft/Bin folder.
The major changes found so far:
Nine new music discs (11 in total, one "broken") (Yay! more c418)
Blaze powder (future potion crafting item)
Magma cream (future potion crafting item)
Glass bottle (future potion crafting item)
Spider eye (dropped by spiders) and fermented spider eye (future potion crafting items)
Hardcore mode: game over when you die, hearts have new icons (As featured in Wired)
Golden apple now has a shining animation
Villagers have no names (No more TESTIFICATE) (They should start to actually do stuff in 1.10)
Holding the spacebar allows you to jump continuously again
The enderman pearls now teleports you when thrown (you teleport to wherever the pearl lands.)
Endermen teleport to dodge arrows. Endermen teleport out of water when they touch it. Endermen teleport a lot more
Item repair! (Finally) Put two damaged items in the crafting grid (arrangement doesn't seem to matter)
F5 view cycling
Fences now attach to adjacent blocks, has an interesting outcome when used certain ways
Pumpkins can be ?crafted? into 4 Pumpkin Seeds (Dont know if its also true for melons)
Zombie Pigmen now randomly drop rotten flesh or gold bits instead of everytime
F8 cinematic mode is back
Feed passive mobs wheat to make them breed with each other (!)
Passive mobs follow you when wheat is selected (much easier to fill pens)
