In light of the recent release of Minecraft 1.9, this article still contains some changes between 1.8.9 and 1.9, which are currently being merged into Protocol. If you want to contribute, please coordinate with us in #mcdevs, and ping Fenhl before making any edits.

This page documents the changes from the last stable Minecraft release (currently 1.9, protocol 107) to the current pre-release (currently 1.9.1-pre2, protocol 108). Note that this page contains bleeding-edge information that may not be completely or correctly documented.

One who wishes to commandeer the merging of this into Protocol when an update is made must be sure to respect any changes that may have occurred to the respective packets there.
