0.40.06 Stable enough?
« on: August 08, 2014, 03:56:04 am »
Just wondering if the general populace is considering 0.40.06 stable enough now to consider starting a new world. I'm eager to start a new fortress but slightly apprehensive about getting a game breaking bug and forcing a restart. This would be my first experience with a new version as I started with 0.34.11 when I got into DF, so no idea how long the 'stabilization' process is expected to last. :-)

I'm pretty sure its stable enough. I had no crashes whatsoever in the last versions and saves should be compatible for the next updates.

It's been quite stable crash-wise since about .03 or .04, but I'm waiting until invaders are fixed (sounds like it might be fixed in the next update).

Due to the baby boom thing, I'd consider 40.05 more stable than 40.06

I would wait the next release  for the invasion fix.

There is some annoying bugs with reclaim. I would say that it is mostly stable, though some specifics are very broken.

I would consider it as stable as 0.34.11 with these bugs above fixed.

Thanks for the advice so far guys. Much appreciated, I think the morale one is the only game breaker it seems, for fortress mode anyway. And perhaps invasions too, I'm currently building a new linux system anyway so I'm sure it'll be out by the time I'm finished compiling everything. :)
