Do I need to create a new world to get things like strongholds, towns, and mine shafts? Or does it randomly generate on my existing worlds after I updated the game?
With every other world generation update, it generated the new stuff with newly made chunks. So if you have explored a huge section of the world, it won't change. But go beyond, and you'll get the new stuff.
So go for a walk :)

Time to add a new pipe on the Great Nether Subway... I think we'll pop out somewhere far south.
I'm also fond of the larger biomes. The first world I spawned in 1.8 placed me on a small island with one tree in the middle of what looked like an infinite ocean. Forests, swamps, deserts etc. seem to go to the horizon, which is nice.
Sadly, there's still the bug where breaking a block doesn't erase it from the world, so you can "step inside" it and see the tunnels and lava pools below the surface.
