Is it Thanksgiving yet?

Because I'm REALLY thankful for this release.

[Tharwen]

Hurrah! Now fix more long-standing bugs while I go and enjoy this release!

[Korva]

Fantastic fixes! Thank you.

[rtg593]

Coolness, nice update. Guess I'll need to start making clothes, lol.

Also, vampires needed fixing? Was everyone else getting really high rates? I was generally getting about 3 every 5 years. Current fort 10 years in, none so far...

Eh, oh well :p

[Archos]

Oh my, thank you Toady! The cloth issue was very annoying Thanks!

Well, this means that dwarves will get new cloths when theirs become useless now? Or they still can't claim new cloths?
And how this works (or maybe will on the future)? They just get whatever seems fit on a cloth stockpile?

Sorry if I missed this information somewhere :X

[psychologicalshock]

Thanks, the clothes bug fix is a life saver and the animal training sounds cool.

[Drakkett]

Thanks on the Vampires, had one migration of 10 dwarves with three vampires.  Total of 7 vampires in first 5 years of the fort.  Still learning the game, going to be interesting with having to worry about clothes too.

So, in the knowledge tab of the animal screen, does "General familiarity" mean that if you tame one of those as an adult you have to keep re-taming it to keep it from going feral?  Also, for re-taming, does the work for that automatically go to whoever tamed it in the first place, or can the workload be distributed amongst all animal trainers?

Also:

Each civilization has animal training familiarity based on locale/journeys/domestication.

For dwarves, does "based on locale" mean that anything with [PET_EXOTIC] which shows up in the first cavern layer will automatically have a "General familiarity" rating, while species which show up only in cavern layers two or three might show up depending on journeys?  That's the impression I get from letting worldgen run only eight years and then looking at the training list.

Hmn, I have few trained wildboars, but I still cannot select "war training option" on them, how can I do that?

Is it possible to tame exotics again? This update sounds freakin' brilliant, but I heard that Dungeon Masters still haven't been added back yet.

The Dungeon Master is no longer needed to tame exotic pets.  Exotic pets can now be tamed straight away, but are more difficult to train than non-exotics, with the difficulty decreasing if your fortress' parent civ has experience with that type of exotic.  If your parent civ has no experience, you have to (dangerously) learn as you go.

I'm not going to officially bugrep this, yet, but I think I've had DF quit out on me twice while worldgenning.

Trouble is, it's running on a computer alongside a dozen other applications (including two instances of IE, with many tabs between them, a Firefox-portable (ditto on tabs), Audacity, WinRar working like mad on a little project, and various other more more minor things.

All I know is that I started off a more-or-less default worldgen (second time I reduced history to 125 years), watched it start and then later on... no DF app running.

But I'm going to try it later, on another (better!) machine with no other distractions, then... isn't there a log thing to turn on in the INITs?  Well, if it still goes wrong, I'll deal with that as necessary.


But all that's a bit of a downer.  In concept, I like the changes, and I applaud them.  I'm sure it's just this particular machine going doolally-tap, or something.

[Rakonas]

Does the animal training include the herd animals in the underdark? I hate having to make them trainable every new version..

[knutor]

(*) Stopped young animals from lashing out

I could of sworn that cage was big enough to hold two dozen. 

Now this unbridled violence will no longer weigh our consciouses down.
