There is a guide for this update!
 
See Java Edition guides/The Update that Changed the World for a guide to all of the new features introduced in The Update that Changed the World.

The Update that Changed the World[1][2] is the name for Java Edition 1.7.2, a major update released on October 25, 2013. It added many new features such as a new terrain generator, many new biomes and biome variations, stained glass, red sand, new tree types, a new spawn system, new fish and a new fishing system with rewards, many new flowers, many more customization options, custom-size Nether portals up to 23Γ—23, minecarts with command blocks, and many new commands.

Development began two months after 1.6.2 was released. Fourteen development snapshots were released, from 13w36a to 13w43a. Several iterations of the launcher were released during this time period, from 1.2.3 to 1.2.8. Also during the development period, 1.6.4 was released. Near the end of the snapshot cycle for the 1.7.2 update, Mojang focused primarily on fixing bugs, rather than adding new features.

The official name for the update, "The Update that Changed the World",[3] was only announced three days prior to the 1.7.2 release on the MCUpdate tumblr blog[2] (which was displayed in the old launcher).

Mojang released the 1.7 pre-release on October 22, 2013, the 1.7.1 pre-release on October 23, and the 1.7.2 pre-release on October 25, shortly before the official release of the update.
