The changelog won't be posted until it is ready to be pushed out. Just keep an eye on the Dev Journals for any new info. :)
leaked 1.0.8 patch notes:
Brad saw a Halo: Reach commercial and now Elemental is a third person tactical shooter. You design your own sovereign to fight many others from around the world (up to 16) in various deathmatch type games and even a little co-op stuff.
*Players receive a new love interest. It's species is based on the last 3 digits of your CD's serial number. 001 = Jellyfish.
- Bug regarding not being able to divorce or remarry is still in the game after Stardock's conversion to Born Again Christianity. There is now no more divorce in the lands of Elemental. We hope you understand.
*On the 4th day of every week in game (Wednesdayamus) All sovereigns will gather and have Subway Night. Where they discuss their kingdom's problems over some sweet 5 dollar footlongs. Make mine a tuna!

seems that the Dev Journals are locked threads of late.....
Hardly surprising.....people were being a**holes!
To me, the "greatest bug of all" is the broken gameplay (I "can't" play the game if I don't want to), so I could definitely do without these intermediate releases if it meant a quicker timetable for version 1.1. 
But yes, I can understand if other people want general fixes first. I'll just wait patiently

And locking them is accomplishing... what, exactly? All we've gotten out of this is a dev journal like the posting mods on reactor one where nobody is providing feedback or asking questions at all, which was one of the best things about the dev journals before release.
Tossing out the baby with the bathwater isn't that helpful.

Yeah, getting death wishes over trying to be helpful makes people do strange things. 
It is a wonder that they keep up posting at all.

It moves the flame wars to other areas of the forum. Same as feedback/questions (because, you know, you don't need to post in the Dev Journals are to post feedback/questions). Considering how hypersensible to the extreme some people are, that they get aknowledged and/or answered is a different thing. And at least we keep getting Dev Journals, or should we demand Stardock to stop them because we cannot post in them to "provide feedback or ask questions" in them?
And again, what has been accomplished? Moving a flamewar from the dev journal forum to the general forum accomplishes... what? You've still got a flamewar. If someone just starts a reply thread in here and that gets read and replied to, it's exactly the same as posting in the dev journal thread except it's now spread over two places instead of one.
How does shuffling things around like that actually accomplish anything?

Alas, it's something of a damned if you do, damned if you don't. Locking threads and closing them just riles people up further. Though the general forum might not be the best place (frankly, I'd say make a flame war sub-forum to drop all the posts in), it at least keeps people somewhat pacified and not doing more asinine things like spamming and such.

Well, I surely don't wanna see flamers in the dev journals sub-forum. [...not that I would like to read the 150th "LMAO THIS GAME IS TEH SUX" message in the general forum...] Giving constructive feedback/discussing the dev posts in a civilized manner is the way to go in that sub-forum...in fact the "pissed off" players should try to moderate themselves even in the /general sub-forum as well....this forum was a friendly&decent place before the game was released. Anyway....things will cool down, so I am not worried actually. [Sorry for the OT reply..:)]

Unless you're trying to get rid of the baby, of course 
But anyway, here's what it accomplishes: if you go to Elemental's home page (www.elementalgame.com, not forums.elementalgame.com), the journals are automatically listed on the front page, and there's also a Journals menu link where these journals automatically show up (along with a link to comments). Because the journals specifically get automatically displayed on the home page, it makes sense that they want to keep the actual forum threads that correspond to the journals and their comments clean.

It's hard to fix gameplay when people are having technical issues. These changes will make fixing gameplay easier.
And count me in among the crowd that says locking the journals doesn't accomplish anything. The best policy would be a liberal staking policy for the dev journals- you start flaming in there, you're banned from the dev journals, if not the forum.
Also, feedback/questions are the point of the comments in dev journals. One thing that does is if Brad has a bad idea- we can't collectively go "no Brad no"- having it in the general forums gets it filtered out.
