I'm thinking about downloading one of the earliest versions of Dwaf Fortress, to get a feel for its start and for a change of pace.

1.) What was the first edition that was...minimally bugged?
2.) What major differences can you think of between that version and DF2010?

[Vercingetorix]

0.23.130.23a was the final release of the 2D version;  I know Boatmurdered began on one of the preceding versions, 0.22.110.22f, and presumably continued up to 23a based on their description of what was going on.  As far as I know, barring some minor additional releases not listed on the Older Versions page, 23a would be the most fleshed-out and most polished version of the 2D game.

Major differences, of course, are best described by reading Boatmurdered and looking over the archive of the 23a wiki.  One of the things I do like about it was the nobles, to be honest; having to please a whole boatload of them could be a challenge in and of itself.  HFS was way, way different and I'm glad it was changed in future versions (although the current stuff does have some parallels to the old-school one).

major differences.... well there's no healthcare system, the world is flat, elephants will wage bloody wars upon your fort if they are within eyesight of it... the list goes on.
