The stuttering bug was also fixed.

[Silverthrone]

My word! Displays, museums, secret missions, spies and prophets and oh, my! A lovely start for the year, the perfect Christmas gift. Now I can build that dwarf monastery I have always dreamed of.

What is the general consensus on stability and FPS, with a few patches under the belt? Dwarf Fortress has been very well behaved lately, but it never hurts to ask.

[GM-X]

The next round of bug-fixing has commenced! All hail!

Thank you for this and to Toady One on his bug slaying adventures!

Yes! The megabeast pathfinding bug is finally fixed!!

Goood. Will start testing DAIII again in 0.44.04 then.

Great, more megabeasts now! But what exactly was bugged with them?

[ZM5]

They would come to your fort as normal, the problem was that they'd stand on the edge of the map, doing nothing, instead of pathing into your fort properly. The same bug affected FB's and titans as well.

EDIT: Minor thing - companion AI seems to still be a tad borked, and won't join in some fights. Usually seems to happen when I start a fight with someone and the companion is out of my line of sight - they catch up, but then they just end up staring and not doing anything.

[Urlance Woolsbane]

Well, that's eight bugs fixed thus far. I shan't be surprised if we get 44.04 tomorrow.

I guess it is from morale issues. Yesterday was attacked by a lot of dingoes while resting - my companions started running and left me being bitten by most of the dingoes unable to stand up and stunned. Luckily I managed to survive and then they came back.

On the other side they aren't respecting yield petitions - every time a bandit yield to me the companions will continue attacking until the bandits are dead or flee (or I leave the area).

[ZM5]

I don't think it was a morale issue, it just seems like they don't recognize the parties involved in the fight.

Like I said, my companion didn't run at all. They were out of the line of sight of both me and the person I was attacking - when the companion caught up, he stood by doing nothing. Wasn't even marked as an "ally".

Hope we get a release soon, it's looking like the list is filling up. I would personally guess 2-3 days, but if we're lucky maybe even tonight? I'm really looking forward to playing my fort without massive stutter again.

It looks like Toady fixed the most serious bugs in the new releases then went for the low hanging fruits fixing some very old interface bugs. Very nice.

[Toady One]

Yeah, probably going to look at companions not helping with fights and a touch of non-speaker "identify yourself!" and maybe a few others, but then I'll release.  I do want to get the stutter fix out there.  2-3 days doesn't sound wrong, maybe a few more if one of those bugs is unexpectedly nasty.

[thvaz]

The issue with companions may be related to personalities, as the current ones I have are overzealous and will kill anything that moves, even after my opponents yielded.

Any chance of the anti-goblin pogroms getting worked out? That would be icing on the cake, I realize, but it is frustrating on older worlds when everyone's started killing each other before you can say hello.

A forest fire tickled my OldGenesis-Ironhandtiles outdoors fort and its wood stockpiles. A glitch happened: negative distances and I guess the amounts went up.
Also, untouched growing trees collapsed a lot when the fire damaged them. Did the collapsing trees generate that many glitched logs?

It sounds like a different case of http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=4372 - are those logs from collapsed trees?
