I've just updated the OP with a new download link and changelog, reflecting the changes made (mostly by other people) over the last few months.

Many, many smaller improvements! Thank you to everyone who pitched in to make these changes!
Thanks for keeping the code maintained and the forum running.

Just fired it up earlier tonight.  Got a few bugs to report but overall, pleased.

Version control:
-this is 4.06.4, not 4.06.3 as the intro screen says

Character creation:
+Androgynous/It's Complicated present, w00t!  Wasn't in the changelog so I thought it'd been left out.  Thanks much.
~Not thrilled about the stolen sportscar, but can accept it--heat values, etc?
? parents insist otherwise, no matter the birth sex (was that intentional?)
-first-name table appears to initially go for Androgynous/Complicated, despite initial, presumably random, gender-setting

Doors:
>Would be nice if alarmed doors were clearly marked as such in-game, before the squad opens them; I make use of them in my mod maps (well, I would if DAME would cooperate) as "Emergency Exit Only: Alarm Will Sound" sorts of things since Security can't seem to bypass the alarm, and have sign C standing by for that purpose.

Gun Control:
>Ammo availability is not contingent on its weapon(s) being legal, which undermines AR15 value & makes legacy M249 use far easier (Pre-Ban mags/ammo is kinda important IRL); this was present in 463, guessing CPP coding needed to peg a Legality on ammo

Map modding:
-Load Lua problem remains: unable to make new Courthouse or CCS facilities. :(

Metal detector:
+No longer interferes with the autoadmit-yay!
~Autoadmit lets Heavy armor through, despite it being a clearly invalid disguise.  Might be worth thinking about.

Hey, when are you going to fix the broken body disposal?

When I try to dispose of bodies, the police show up each time. Even when I kill the police, the encounter happens again, often with even more policemen!

*Every time you ask people to back off because you will hurt the hostage, you will be charged with kidnapping (that's one person, during one raid). Setting aside the fact that you haven't kidnapped them yet, there should at most be 1 charge per person kidnapped.

I think this is a limitation of the crime system. Think about it: if you were only charged with kidnapping once per person, you could use the same hostage to bluff your way out of every encounter with no crime penalty.

Perhaps it should count as another type of crime other than kidnapping, but I couldn't think of a better one. Armed assault? Not really. Threatening? Too vague, and not a crime, currently. Having it count as extra counts of kidnapping doesn't really make sense, but it fits the gameplay mechanics well.


EDIT:

*You can apparently spray-paint in (or possibly only before) combat as a free action.

Fixed in next revision. Spraying graffiti is now similar to waiting. Which I guess doesn't make sense if there's only one person with spraypaint, but it makes more sense than before.
I just noticed this--threatening hostages seems eminently suitable for Terrorism, and would make that charge less of a boutique thing.  IRL simply taking a hostage is a federal offense punishable by life (unless you weren't trying to coerce the federal government, which may or may not matter in LCS).  Federal criminal statutes re kidnapping, check section 1203  In my local state statutes, though, it looks like hostage-taking would only be unlawful restraint, which is a misdemeanor 1 (term/years). 18 PA Cons.Stat. 2902  Threatening the hostage, though, should qualify for terroristic threats, which given the alarm-system is a felony 3.  18 PACS 2706

I found a pretty big glitch where you can't buy ANYTHING stuff in the hardware or clothing section of the department store, as well as the baseball bat from the sporting goods section.

I think that's the same problem I had with the Sporting Goods section--they need individual letters.  (Thought I edited a fix into the code-thread.)

On it--this shouldn't take long.Thanks for the report.  Couldn't replicate the clothing/baseball bat problem, but the hardware one was pretty glaring.  XML fix'd; will post in the Department Store thread shortly.  Here:

Yeah, that was just my own stupitiy, I was hitting [A] instead of the keys assigned.

Doubleposting to clarify:
-this is 4.06.4, not 4.06.3 as the intro screen says
? parents insist otherwise, no matter the birth sex (was that intentional?)
-first-name table appears to initially go for Androgynous/Complicated, despite initial, presumably random, gender-setting
>Ammo availability is not contingent on its weapon(s) being legal, which undermines AR15 value & makes legacy M249 use far easier (Pre-Ban mags/ammo is kinda important IRL); this was present in 463, guessing CPP coding needed to peg a Legality on ammo
Confirmed: adding legality tags to clips.xml is insufficient to take M249 drums off the shelf at C Gun Control.  The bit about the AR15s is that their using the same mags as a less-legal weapon lets them keep its ammo on the shelf.  (This shouldn't work for the M249 as there's a disintegrating-belt-feed in that drum: M249 ammo belt on Wikipedia.)  Since this was around in the previous version, though, I'll call it an upgrade request rather than a bug.
Hey, when are you going to fix the broken body disposal?

When I try to dispose of bodies, the police show up each time. Even when I kill the police, the encounter happens again, often with even more policemen!

I found a pretty big glitch where you can't buy ANYTHING stuff in the hardware or clothing section of the department store, as well as the baseball bat from the sporting goods section.

Well... I guess I should deal with these things. :P
I think that XML I posted ought to fix the glitch Jboy2000000 reported.  (At least it did on my 464.)  Let me know if swapping it for the current deptstore.xml doesn't solve the problem (bad) or creates others (worse).

Editing the doublepost to bring an additional report: An all-A ProThief Founder, as fresh from character creation as I could manage (tests took place on 06 Jan 2009; Stealth 5.9, Disguise 1) was able to wear a Lab Coat and proceed to take a 9mm, a Shotgun, or even an M4 (!) through the metal detector without it going off.  In all cases, all the time, the guards just let xyr through.  (Gun Control was at C--this is a bug-finding game, not one I plan on playing out.)  Bottom line: now I can't seem to set it off at all.  ???

Metal detector? Where would you find a metal detector in the game?

Fox wrote one up as a fairly flexible site special (similar to the Bouncers & Guard checkpoints), back around 460, but it's not currently implemented in mainline.

Since we thought it was fully operational yet unimplemented, the first thing I did once I got DAME to (barely) cooperate* was to replace the NukePlant guard checkpoint with a metal detector: check the map-modding guide for the .csv outputs.  You should be able to just copy/paste those into/over your existing Nuke Plant files, then send a squad and have fun with the increased ways to set off the site alarm!

*Remind me to set up some blank csv files for it--I should go get some sleep now but I'm wondering if it somehow can't create csv files but can overwrite them.  I've got blueprints for the CCS facilities & the Courthouse that it refuses to output.

I tried replacing the department store XML, but nothing happened and I still ran into the same problem. But don't hold me to any results, as I pretty fucked something up as always :/
