v0.8.0 alpha build 1 (labelled v0.8.0 alpha in-game and 0.8.0_test1 internally) is the first build version for v0.8.0 alpha and the first ever build compiled in 2013. It was never officially released to the public; however, the client was uploaded on Google Play. There are two uploads that are functionally identical.
Since this version contains commands, which would not be officially added to the game until v0.16.0 alpha, it is likely to be a developer build.
