If that means that every woman in my fortress will no longer bear a child each year regardless if they want a family or not, I have to say thanks as well. (Especially if they're in the military.)

Happy birthday, Zach!

Stopped dwarves from breeding like animals, technically speaking

This made my day

I put in a preliminary fix for backspace not working on OSX, but we'll have to see how that turns out.

Thanks so much! It was bugging me for ages!

Yeah, this.

I will transfer saves to and from this version (40.06) periodically when I want to have a year of out of wedlock births.  With some self-narration I can build up some pretty interesting stories.  This is also great if I have a dead civ and I want to rebuild it quickly.  No need for those long slow buildups of relationships!

I hope no one asking for stories anymore for the donations stops you from offering in the future

I mean this in that I like reading, and the fact no one ask for stories after donating makes me worry they will no longer be an option eventually.

Err... where did that come from?

I have to admit I never really tried it, but I rather doubt that saves are generally backwards-compatible, just forwards-compatible.

hm? Zavvnao, the story reward is not the same as the threetoe stories, story reward is only a few hundred words. Threetoe just hasn't finished any new large stories in the meantime. Though I'm sure he's flattered by you missing that

Transferring saves to previous versions generally isn't a good idea - any "patches" made to the save when loading it for the first time in a new version (the "Handling compatibility issues..." stage) are one-way, since implementing the reverse procedure wouldn't be possible in already-released versions. Attempting to load a save from a newer version could cause a variety of difficult-to-diagnose problems (or DF could simply refuse to recognize/load them).

So its a one way transition?  Will, I guess I will enjoy the lack traditional family structure while it lasts...

I like how Toady is fixing bugs in batches, making half broken features become fully (or almost) operational.

Yeah, awesome that beekeeping is at least more functional.

Still waiting on some of the fort mode bugs before getting into it for the new version, mostly the 'can't brew' issue, some of the tree stuff, and maybe the merchant buggyness.

[Footkerchief]

mostly the 'can't brew' issue

We're still waiting on a save that demonstrates an actual bug -- it's not clear whether one exists.  So far, all the cases have actually been a much older quirk.

That and barrels being tied up forever for hauling tasks.
