This thread is to discuss any changes to the RAW file following the most recent release.
I went looking for any such info and didn't see an existing thread for this.
So I did the research myself and it here for anyone coming behind me.

A lasting Memory of my discoveries if you will.

I went through the RAW creature_standard comparing it to the last release and didn't find any changes to the creature definitions for the vanilla races. (Nor any to the other defs)
I'm still snooping so this needs testing. But I suspect that the new memory array is hooked onto [INTELLIGENT] which was already defined in creature_standard.
If anyone has anything new they found, please share!

I'm tentatively testing the update to my existing creature and entity Mods and will report any errors that crop up.

Now you mention [INTELLIGENT] but remember it's just a shorthand for [CAN_LEARN] and [CAN_SPEAK] so technically if you're gonna link it, it'd have to be to 1 of those two, which I'd lean towards [CAN_LEARN] which would include [SLOW_LEARNER]

[Khalvin]

Oh, yeah! thanks. I'm going to throw this modded entity creature from .09 into the RAW unchanged and see what happens.

File changes says this:

Auxiliary file changes for 0.44.10:

   Note:  Item inaccessible ANNOUNCE_ZOOM/2 will only be correct on new announcements (not 0.44.09 and before.)

   new keys
      ANNOUNCE_ZOOM_2:x
      BUILDJOB_NAME:ctrl+n
      D_BITEM_NAME:ctrl+n
      CIVZONE_NAME:ctrl+n
      A_LOG_SORT:o

   removed key
      BUILDJOB_BED_NAME

   changed key
      INTERFACEKEY_A_LOG_TASKS -> INTERFACEKEY_A_LOG_PIN

   creatures
      corrected adder description
      corrected kingsnake description

The new adder and kingsnake descriptions are here:

[CREATURE:ADDER]
   [DESCRIPTION:A tiny snake with ridged scales and a powerful venomous bite.]
[CREATURE:KINGSNAKE]
   [DESCRIPTION:A small, brightly-colored snake.  It is known for eating other snakes and being mistaken for its venomous cousins.]

They were changed from these:

[CREATURE:ADDER]
   [DESCRIPTION:A small snake with ridged scales and a powerful venomous bite.]
[CREATURE:KINGSNAKE]
   [DESCRIPTION:A tiny, brightly-colored snake.  It is known for eating other snakes and being mistaken for its poisonous cousins.]

It doesn't seem like a big deal, they traded the words small and tiny. The incorrect reference to poisonous snakes has also been removed.

I haven't look at that file yet (44.10 still zipped) so I tossed those changes into my 44.09 raws. Thank EP

[Enemy post]

You're welcome.

Playing a outdated  creature in 44.10 in adventure mode. No issues so far.
Now off to fortress mode.

yeah no the file changes were minimal this time around

I was expecting Toady to muck around with the inebriation syndrome as part of the stress balancing, so I am slightly surprised

I'm glad he didn't, actually - it's nice to know the memory system addresses the core issue rather than there being a band-aid to apply.

That said, I already changed the inebriation syndrome from EUPHORIA to CONTENTMENT, so we'll see if that causes more misery.
