Will there be salt evaporation ponds in order to harvest and export salt? This could be cool for coastal fortresses -or towns- to be able to send their production in the inland regions.

I think we'll see if there is a place for additives/spices when recipes come out.  In the meantime, it's much dwarfier to just mine rock salt :)

I dont get it. Invaders are coming from populations now? Or the goblins were butchering the mounts mid siege?

Yea, they been coming from populations since the last major update I believe.

Is there any plans for tree nuts (hazelnuts, pecans, almonds etc.)? Right now, it is impossible to gather them like fruits or berries.
If those tree exist in the game currently, then probably. Unknown time table when it'll happen. If they aren't, then probably when above ground ecology is revisited.

Three major updates ago; 0.40.14 and 0.40.20 were both major updates.

Nah, elf salt would be derived from elf blood, following the usual creature-material logic. Which winds up making it the most dwarvenly elf thing ever.

got us there.

so the ruling is:

Extracting Salt from the ground :dwarvenly
Extracting salt from the Sea : Frou frou Elvenly
Extracting salt from the blood of the elves : Epic dwarvenly

What if it's an underground sea you are getting the salt water from?

I belive that falls under "Extracting Salt from the ground."

The same way that making a well that goes deep underground to some dark cavern is DWARVEN, whereas simply channeling from a nearby river is ELVEN.  That is why it is so dangerous: it was too easy, so Armok made dwarves much more likely to forget to pull levers, as well as making the water travel very quickly downwards, to discourage dwarves from the elven path, and lead them towards the still-dangerous but at least can't-flood-the-fortress cavern water.  Unless you're living by the magma, but then you have an obvious solution if you start drowning.  It might not save the dwarves, but it'll still be dwarven.
