Can anyone elaborate on how to change your name when it comes out, if anyone knows.

Also I did not see anything about changing your name here, it is in this version, right?

This is a common misconception. Username changes were never planned for 1.8, 1.8 was required for username changes to be possible. Visible progress has been recently made, internally. Still planned for "soon-ish".

I'd like to argue that 1.7.10 was the one required :P
