--offtopic below--
That's what I hate git/github for. Before cool-distributed-trendy-git-github people gained write access to a single repo and just worked there together. Now they're forking and forking, right now we have at least five more or less active dfhack repos, nobody knows which one to use at a given point in time and when changes going to be merged into the "main" repo.
--offtopic end--

The advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Nobody needs to ask to fork the repo, and anyone can choose what updates they want to include. The github.com/DFHack/DFHack (or similar URL) is the "official" version and is always at least as up to date as the most recent release. We're in an unusually long delay before the release so it's a bit behind. Also there are submodules and git submodules are slightly terrible.

edit: What Warmist said.

Isitanos, I don't get the impression that the folks ITT cloning the repos will have unrealistic expectations. They probably comprehend what it means to be an unstable/incomplete version. I just see it as enthusiastic beta testing.

Actually I was thinking about other folks downloading the experimental binaries from this thread, not those cloning the repos. The latter indeed know what they're getting into (hopefully ).

To be fair, nopenope didn't say which one of his downloads was windows compatible.

To be fair, someone with the slightest knowledge of OS's instantly knows that a download is not for windows if it's for OSX or Linux. Hence my encouragement to learn about those. No offense meant.

[Nopenope]

To be fair he could have been right if dfhack were written in a scripting language or other portable language like java, e.g. soundsense doesn't have a special version for Linux as far as I know.

In other news, the latest DFHack repo builds and runs smoothly but the game crashes on embark unpause; probably a broken plugin.

New release!

in dfhack init disable: tweak craft-age-wear

[Nimrod]

First off: THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for updating this great tool!

Second, I have the crash issue too, will try disabling ' tweak craft-age-wear' ... brb (thanks for the tip, bro)

Edit: seems to work perfectly! no more crashing so far. rx80, you are a legendary Hackdwarf!

[scamtank]

Hey, that seemed to do the trick.

Here's one from me to you: tweak military-stable-assign makes Adventure mode crash any time you view the inventory. Get rid of that, too.

in dfhack init disable: tweak craft-age-wear

[scamtank]

It's there. Look harder.

When you do, add a # in front of it to comment it out.

found it and thanks for the help!

DFHack 0.40.08-r1 had a bug in dfhack.init-example where a few commands would make DF crash just after loading a save. The only change to DFHack 0.40.08-r1.1 and DFHack 0.40.08-r1.2 is in this file. Manually overwrite the file with the most recent version if you grabbed DFHack 0.40.08-r1 before this fix.

[YAHG]

NICE!!!! Thank you all the people who worked on this for me 

[Tzyx]

awesome, time to try this sucker out!

[Quietust]

Attention: Do NOT use either of these versions, as they were built against outdated structures data where the virtual method table for the "item" class is misaligned, which will cause various plugins to crash Dwarf Fortress if they try to manipulate items in certain ways.

A new version will be available shortly.
