I did not find anything about this, neither in the wiki nor in the forum: So the new 40.05 update has some changes to the raws compared to 40.04. If I created my world with 40.04, do I need to update the raws of this world in some way? Does this happen automatically? Or is it entirely unnecessary?
Also:

Made king cobra people legless like other snake people

What happens to a savegame where a cobra man got a leg cut off or injured?

The last update where I needed this knowledge was more than two years ago, and I have no idea what I did back then (other that apparently mine carts and wheelbarrows worked pretty well after the update, but I do not know if I did anything to the savegame).

Saves store their raw data separately from the main raws within Dwarf Fortress. The main raws are found within the folder called 'raw', and the saves are found within the 'data/save' folder directory. The save folder should have its own folder inside of it that is also called 'raw'.

You could copy the main raw files of the game and paste them into your save's individual raws, overwriting the older raws.

I'm not sure how an injured snake-person would react though.

I would advise against trying to update creature raws since Tigermen have moved from one creature file to another - if you were to overwrite your raws, a whole bunch of your creature definitions would get shifted around.

Toady answered to this in another thread. Apparently copying the raws might work if I leave out the language files. I think I will just try it with both solutions and post the short-term results here.

You can also leave the raws in your older save as-is. It won't break anything, but you'll miss out on some of the bugfixes, too (notably animalpeople being too frequent).
