may i suggest SEEING caravans traveling roads?

[Uristocrat]

Just wanted to chime in to thank Toady for the recent bugfixes and improvements to dwarf behavior when building/removing stuff. He addressed quite a few things I had been complaining about, and those fixes sound like they'll make the game a lot more enjoyable. I'm especially excited about less micromanagement of large constructions (and large holes?).

I agree, we've had a lot of great improvements lately, hopefully with many more to come.

Realize trade/tribute relationships with actual caravans moving on the map

Hurrah!

Toady marked as Fixed several equipment bugs that I was waiting for fix since 0.31, also some newer bugs.

(7 bugs at the top were fixed today)

The next devlog is going to be awesome!

What do dwarves do now after completing a kill order? Head back to civilian life if allowed?

[Osmosis Jones]

Awww, kinda disappointed about losing the "Designations cause liason meetings" one. I know it was a bug, but it used to make trade meetings really easy to control.

I hope this kind of cat get implemented somehow...

"[Adventure Mode -- Sleep] Sleeping on a melting iceberg results in waking up as a demon or other underground creature."

Dwarf Fortress has the best bugs. I'm going to have to try this now. How do I find a melting iceberg?

How do I find a melting iceberg?

The way to do it is described in the bug report:
http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=4181
(look at "Steps To Reproduce" field)

[Rose]

Yeah, I went through those steps a couple times, worked every time.

[Naryar]

I would like to see the eternally fire-immune undead bug go away. It may be great !!FUN!! but it's a bit annoying, also a bit... off.

"[Adventure Mode -- Sleep] Sleeping on a melting iceberg results in waking up as a demon or other underground creature."

It's based upon the fact that the adventurer drowns or is frozen in ice or otherwise is eliminated from the game somehow, but you don't actually die on-screen, so the game isn't ended normally.  When you are supposed to wake up, and the game can't find your character anymore, it just finds the next creature in the list of creatures in the area, and makes you that creature, instead. 

[Quietust]

Actually, not quite - the game's release notes explain it a bit better:

Stopped adventurer from turning into an underground creature when solid ground for placement couldn't be found

What's actually happening is that going to Sleep temporarily offloads the region (which is why sleeping doesn't take as long as it did in 40d), and when it reloads it, it can't find any solid ground to put your player on (because it's underwater) - it aborts, your character ceases to exist, and you are given control of the first creature in the unit list (which happens to be a cave creature or fish).

New release! Likely I will not be able to try this out for a bit because of vital commitments. Its good to see all these bugs getting fixed though.

How much is going to happen before the next "big" release starts coming along?

Is the next major future release likely to take as long as "Release 1" or are we more likely to get a number of shorter term "major" releases (i.e. a few weeks to a month or so) where each time one or two of the goals is dealt with (like 3D veins)?

As far as I remember, each major feature of DF2012 took around a month to finish, suggesting this kind of release method might be possible.

No timelines. Toady has gone often stated "yeah, no idea how long this will take."
