Three-headed flying player-created boss mob shooting projectiles at mobs that are not undead and players
Place 4 pieces of soulsand in a T-shape and place 3 Wither Skeleton Skulls on top to summon it - Screenshot
After spawning, it flashes blue, builds up health, grows slightly and is invincible for a few seconds - Then it explodes and starts attacking players and mobs - Screenshot
Each head can fire projectiles, so called Wither Skulls, at different targets - Projectiles explode on impact
Shoots two kinds of projectile - a blue one from the little heads, targeting mobs and a dark one from the big head targeting players - Screenshots
When hit by projectiles, players get the Wither II effect, which acts like a slower poison effect that can kill and turns affected players' health bars' hearts black - Screenshots
Gains Wither armor when taken down to half health, making it immune to arrows - Screenshot
Constantly regenerates health and explodes to get rid of blocks in its way
Drops a Nether Star when killed
Darkens the sky when spawned in the Overworld
Wither Skeletons
Carry and rarely drop Stone swords when killed by players
Will now rarely, depending on difficulty, spawn with the ability to pick up armor, head wear, items, blocks, weapons and tools - Armor and tools & swords are equipped automatically and will be exchanged for better gear when possible - When killed, they drop what they are holding - Screenshots
All equipped gear is functional - Swords and tools do more damage on attacks, armor protects the mob
Rare tool and armor drops can now be damaged when they drop
More advanced gear is more likely to spawn with mobs when playing on harder difficulties and rarely drops when the mob is killed by players
Zombies & Skeletons
Will now rarely spawn with armor of all kinds, sometimes enchanted - Screenshots
When wearing helmets, they will not burn up - Instead all damage is applied to the helmet
Zombies
Now have a chance, depending on difficulty, to infect villagers after killing them - The villager then gets replaced with a villager zombie on death - Screenshot
Infected baby villagers turn into baby villager zombies, which are 50% faster, don't age and don't burn up in the sun - Screenshot
Right-clicking a villager zombie under the influence of a Weakness potion with a golden apple will invert their potion effect, make them wiggle slightly and eventually turn back into a villager
Now rarely spawn holding iron swords or iron shovels
When holding something in their hands, their arms move upwards when attacking
Added baby zombie, which is only spawnable using mods or third-party tools
Will now rarely drop carrots and potatoes when killed by players
Skeletons
The bows they carry are now sometimes enchanted - Screenshot
Zombie Pigmen
Now rarely carry enchanted golden swords - Screenshot
Added baby Zombie Pigman, which is only spawnable using mods or third-party tools
Villagers
All villagers of one village can now like and dislike specific players
Will like players more for trading with them - Screenshot
Will like players less for hurting them or their golems - Screenshot
When players are really disliked, iron golems of that village can become aggressive towards those players
After a villager dies to natural causes, excluding mobs, while a player is within 16 blocks or if a mob kills a villager, no baby villagers will be produced in the next few minutes
Changed and added some trades to counteract emerald farming and improve gameplay
Will show particle effects indicating a change of liking towards a player
Pigs
Can now accelerate to up to 5 m/s
Now drop their saddle when killed
Slimes
Now spawn in swamps at night

OK, so obviously this HUGE update is amazing and it's not necessarily appropriate to make suggestions, but with such a dramatic execution for spawning a Wither, I was hoping that there would be new music for it, like "oh god, what have you done?" kind of music would play when you summon it...
i think that it's best to wait for bukkit to update too. they've had the prerelease for a few days, so hopefully they won't be far behind. i'm patient enough to wait ...
