   (*) Fixed army crash/bad behavior near the right/lower edge of the map
   (*) Fixed a conversation crash related to uncivilized people/creatures trying to sell something in the market
   (*) Made people only jump into actual conflicts, rather than animal encounters and training events

Other bug fixes/tweaks
   (*) Made stress levels drop faster the longer no stressors are applied
   (*) Made gathering plants from the ground add to herbalist skill properly again
   (*) Made plants that grow in winter-spring plantable at all proper times (Quietust)
   (*) Optimized flag checks for non-windows OSs (ag)
   (*) Fixed problem deleting stockpile links in the case that stockpile had multiple give/take settings
   (*) Fixed blinking behavior for stockpiles/zones vs. ramps/stairs

Welp, that was fast 0_o

That was fast because only one thing - critical bug involving smelting and windows - was fixed in this release.

It must have been a big issue. Thank You TodayOne for taking the time to fix the issue right away!

I believe the issue could have affected other things as well, but the smelting issue was more noticeable (and the only one reported on the bug tracker, as far as I can tell).

My big issue was soldiers at map edge

I believe some people mentioned problems in Fortress mode with everyone being absolutely miserable no matter what.

[smjjames]

Yeah the compiler issue probably broke lots of things, the smelting issue just happened to be the most noticeable and probably the first reported issue related to that.

I wonder how it would affect adventurer mode? I'm using 40.17 still and I haven't seen anything odd in adventure mode. Nothing that's new anyway.

There were reports of cave-ins that might be related.  That's the only other thing I heard about.  I'd still recommended upgrading to 0.40.18.  Any bugs reported against 0.40.17 run a risk of being false positives now.

Still on the fence about some of the lists being alphabetized.  Lists with dissimilar items need to be broken down finer so that it's not a hodge-podge list.

For example, plants in stockpile definitions are not alphabetized, but the various types of plants are clustered together by type.  All of the underground plants are listed together, the "berries" are mostly listed together, etc.  That makes it easy to setup a stockpile to accept just the underground plant seeds.

Noted then and I've upgraded.

Edit: I'm noticing that the angel guardians in the vaults have normal metal weapons, however, I think this save was generated in 40.17. Should just create a new world here.

[Toady One]

Yeah, that's the exact sort of thing that's likely to be screwed up -- all the "inorganic" flags were misreporting, and possibly some others.

This one http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=8576 could be a result of the 40.17 problems.

Still on the fence about some of the lists being alphabetized.

The one that I've noticed in particular is z -> Kitchen -> whatever the last tab is called.  The one that has all of the meat and all of the booze in it.  It's all mixed together, and if you want to disable booze cooking, you have to read each entry carefully (or at least the ones that are still marked for Cooking).

[StagnantSoul]

That's been like that for a long time. Not much of a problem, either. Too many sub-menus would be worse, in my opinion.
