Since the update to boats and minecarts made it so that when the player gets out, they aren't sent as far. This has led to boats being broken much more often than they should, and for no good reason.
When a player gets out of a boat, most of the time, they hit the boat. This causes the boat to either launch far away in the water, or to hit the block it is touching and break.

Cannot reproduce in 07a
@Gary Closse I don't know what you're doing, but in the latest snapshot, 14w08a, the bug still exists. I just tested it, and the first time, the boat broke. The second time, the boat launched far away. The player lands too close to the boat when they exit and the boat either gets pushed into the blocks and breaks, or gets hits and launches far away.
Bug still exists in 1.7.5.
Bug still present in 14w10c.
We have 1.7.8 and the problem is still not solved... since 1.7.3!
Must I really play 1.7.2 to be able to use boats?
It shouldn't be that hard to 'rollback' and use the code/algorithm from 1.7.2

If it was that easy to isolate the responsible code and roll it back, it would be about as easy to fix the problem properly.
Bug still present in 14w20a
Bug still present in 14w25a, and 14w25b
Bug still present in 1.7.10 and 14w26c.
When exiting a boat, the player appears to "land" too close and strike the boat, sending it off in [a random?] direction and can break it if it is pushed into a solid object.
This needs to be fixed!
Bug still present in 14w28a/b.
Something else I've noticed is that if the player is facing with his boat to the west, and then exits the boat, the boat is unharmed. This is because the player lands behind if facing west (boat and player). But if the player is facing any other direction, the boat is launched far away or broken.
Bug still present in 14w30 a/b.
Not fixed in newest snapshots. Boats are bugged up aswell much more. For example, when holding ctrl (sprint button) in a boat has a high chance of putting you back 100 blocks orso and then you have to swim to there. [SMP]

shame - still present in 1.8 [😞
I have been avoiding boats for a long time now because they have always been a huge pain due to breaking constantly no matter how careful you are... but I could have sworn that in 1.7 (and maybe even earlier... hard to recall now) exiting a boat placed the player off to the side a bit so you wouldn't land on your boat and kick it away from you. That was a great improvement!!
Sadly in 1.8 this seems to have been undone and players now exit a boat directly above it again! This almost always results in breaking the boat against the shore/dock/etc. Can exiting boats please work the same as exiting a minecart or getting out of bed? In both of those instances the player appears slightly to the side... where in much earlier versions the player used to always appear above the object they got out of. Oh, and almost forgot horses! Basically everything but boats allow you to get out to the side now... and this really needs to be true of boats also.

Is this still an issue in the current Minecraft Snapshot 15w46a or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
I think we can close this one. Boats haven't done this since before the big boat overhaul of 15w41a.
Confirmed.
