Is the end of 0.34.11 nigh?
« on: October 25, 2013, 10:58:06 am »

Are we honestly nearing the release of the new Dwarf Fortress version?
That's what I have been led to believe by the recent blog posts, at least.

Of course I'm speaking relatively here, since for all we know the Great Bug Hunt might last until the end of the year, but hey - this time we're actually close.
Unless Toady comes up with something else that he randomly decides to put into this version. ::)

Your title made me half-expect something doomsday-ish.

We definetly seem to be close. Toady One said in a devlog that they will be finished with the main list around mid-November, after that is some testing to see how things are. We COULD see a December release, but a January or February release is a bit more likely.

Since the dawn of Dwarvenkind, when their ancestors first discovered the mighty power of rock and stone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from Armok to 'justice' to simple,psychotic rage.

That's all I got. If you were referencing the Fallout quote.

Can anyone say quickly what changes this new update will be?


I just don;t have the time to look through 150 dev post paragraphs, I have not really played since 2012

or where can I find a neat presentation of expected changes?

Yes. The "issues list" though is in fact a to-do list that includes bugs, and that means the major issues should be worked through by November 15th, and that date has pretty much been stable. The question is how long it takes from then on to work out the minor bugs left over. It could theoretically go out on that day. Trust me, people have dealt with bugged releases, including 0.34.01 that had corrupted saves sufficient to force a loss of version compatibility.

Given current events, I've altered my profile pic and I'm sorry it took so long to fix. If you find the old one on any of my accounts elsewhere on the internet, let me know by message (along with the specific site) and I'll fix. Can't link the revised avatar for some reason.
