Notes: While I have been sitting on my lazy arse, (actually doing stuff, just not DF related ), the community around Urist McTeellox has managed to collect many fixes and compile them into a new update. It consists of mostly bugfixes, some rebalancing, an updated orc manual, and new options for the GUI. A special thanks to Splinterz for his work on it. The weird flickering on Windows XP is fixed now as well, and the default settings have been enabled again. In the last release the simple material settings were reversed. Thistleknot has altered the disease contraction rate, so please turn them on and give the new diseases another try.

I myself will start working on DF again within the week, planning a new release after New Years, followed by writing the Warlocks. A race of evil sorcerers that keep undead around and meddle with demons. A release for them is planned in early february.

At the same time Putnam worked on Drow, Deathsword on Goblins, IndigoFenix on Gnomes, Vherid on Iteru, a human egyptian race; all of which will be integrated into the main mod and GUI over time.

Changelog:

• Many, many bugfixes in all non-masterwork tilesets
• Thistleknots disease nerfs, v6
• Cave fungus is visible when using the spacefox tileset
• Updates to the setting program (splinterz)
• Added spore-trees saplings to many tilesets. This fixes bugs with spore-tree reactions.
• Rebalanced medicine production
• Separate bones can again be made into bolts (GTrax)
• Missing vampire and black/white altar reactions enabled (splinterz)
• Obscure syndromes renamed (splinterz)
• Fixes to armoring unicorns, cougars and wolves
• Potentially malformed headers fixed
• Tar, pitch, and unknown materials are no longer treated as corpses
• Mutilated corpses are more descriptive
• Orcs have more leatherworking options
• Numerous clean-ups, including the ability to open moon-arrow crates, missing poisons for orcs, and orcs being able to use buckets at fountains
• Numerous typos fixed
• Updated manuals (especially for orcs)
• Updated default settings for the settings program
• numerous small bugfixes, tweaks, and improvements

Im a little confused. Is this just V4e + studded with patches?

[Urist McTeellox]

Im a little confused. Is this just V4e + studded with patches?

Yes!  Well, technically it's the 4f release candidate which is a SWP/unified snapshot, but the GUI was set to use the default colour scheme (which is now also the case in SWP), and the DF binary was patched to display the 4f version number (also now in SWP). So except for cosmetic changes, it's the same as SWP at the time of the release.

Studded With Patches, of course, is still continuing with development, bugfixes, and I have an orc rebalance going on behind the scenes. The top post in the SWP thread should always be reasonably up-to-date in what changes we've made since the last official release.

Any suggestions for a fix?

I'm afraid that the settings GUI is splinterz department, so I've cast summon splinterz. However given it's the festive season it may be a little while for him to respond.

There were changes (incuding bugfixes) made to the GUI between 4e and 4f.  You could try this zip, which is the last snapshot before those changes went in, and see if the GUI works for you there.  That would at least help us isolate the change which may be responsible.  (However that zip is not the same as 4f; I'm pretty sure it's still based on DFHack r3.)
