First, thanks for the new version!

Second, I've hit several bugs in my first few minutes - unless it's just something I'm doing wrong.  Generated a new world.  equipped a band of dwarves.  among their default inventory was an item that costed 0 points called ' meat' (with a blank space before it).  I took 150 of this because it was free =p but when I hit embark, it crashed (not surprisingly).  There appear to be a number of unnamed things and 'free' things in the list of things you can take with you...

started again, got rid of this ' meat', figuring it was the source of the crash.  apparently it was because I was able to start up fine the second time.  However, the ground was littered with mysterious sparkling objects.  When I moved my cursor over them with 'K', the field that would say what the item was was cycling REALLY fast so I couldn't read it.  I assume these are stacks of items or something?  are the sprite and the name supposed to flash really fast?

lastly, when I moved the cursor around, it would often 'stick', and my map would keep scrolling in that direction even though I stopped pressing that direction.  I would have to hit the key a few more times for it to stop scrolling.  It might have been related to alt-tabbing because I just switched back to the game and this particular problem seems to be gone...

Let me know if you need any more info to help diagnose wth is going on =p

I'm getting the first two of these bugs as well.

This might sound silly, but: did you generate a new world?

I remember in older versions I ran across bugs like that with an outdated world generated.

[Angbad]

Of course. I'll try generating another though.

Also, don't install over a previous version -- Use a new folder and new settings.

I learnt that one the hard way, so I did a clean install. On the up side, my new world has The Planes of Myth for a name. Kinda cool.

This sounds like it's probably my problem.  I assumed all the files the game references would be replaced if I just copied it over, but I guess I was mistaken.  I'll try a clean slate.
