I have reached the point where I doubt it will happen before the 4th even if Toady has it all in order before then.

I imagine even if a release is ready he'll try to release at an unexpected time to avoid the website crashes of yore.

He's never released it at an expected time. He released it at the least expected time for 0.31.01, but panicking ensued despite that.

Are we in for a 2 years+ development cycle here? Maybe. Let's hope not.

Looks like Toady and Threetoe left some exclusive information at Two5six:

Get hype: after 13 years, Dwarf Fortress is roughly 38% done, according to its creators. #two5six

Version number 0.38.01 confirmed?

True, but as in real life I imagine it would take a very long time for most (non-desert) human structures to be buried naturally, barring massive disasters.
This is Dwarf Fortress.  Massive disasters are a regular occurrence.

(nothing exclusive -- what they didn't say is that I acknowledged at the event that people were trying to guess the release date and to avoid spoiling all the fun the 38% figure was very approximate...  it could be anything!)

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.
