Hi, just curious. How come there hasn't been a new version released since June 2012? :/ *worried*
Toady's dev cycle looks like this:
1) Don't release anything for a year or two to make major content upgrades.
2) A fast cycle of mainly bug-fix releases. Sometimes this includes new content, but it's mainly focused on bug-fixing.

By working in this way it allows him to rework the game without needing to worry about keeping the game playable while doing it, and he always has a dev log that he keeps fairly up to date.
This, basically. It's a fairly decent development cycle.

The hauling update can be "fixed" by bringing some wheelbarrows and then mass-producing them, I guess.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.
