Have I misunderstood this, or does this finally mean an end to the job cancellations on things like seeds/brewing?

It should end, yeah.

*Tick. Tick. Tick. Ticking ends. Epic orchestra slowly begins, progressively turning into a massive tidal wave of voices and instruments* THANK YOU, OH ALMIGHTY TOAD!!! THAAAAAANK YOOOOOOOOOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AernJardos]

This is an amazing, wondrous, stupendous, glorious, awe-inspiring update of epic proportions! In all seriousness, this update seems to address the vast majority of the issues I've been running into. Hurrah!

[mnjiman]

I am super excited on the fact that this was a quick and fast content release with the planned bug fixing as what was stated would happen. Thank you and keep up the awesomeness ToadyOne and ThreeToes :-)

[Graknorke]

Then we'll be on to taverns/inns!

Will that be a new major release or a continuation of .40?

[Toady One]

We're about halfway to 41 in the new version one point system I've got, so we'll cross that boundary somewhere in tavern dev, whether it's the first release or later on.  We haven't decided how we are going to organize the tavern stuff.  There's room for some release breaks, though.  There should be something to justify its existence before we release it, but we don't need both, say, random games and recipes in the same release, unless stuff is really screaming along.  Perhaps the taverns can function with just their basic jobs/goods, some visitors and the core activity rewrite for parties as a start.  We're also not sure about the final list of features we'll have when taverns are done.  Standing orders (for booze, at the very least) are looking attractive, and so on.  This can impact the release breaks.  There's also the matter of whether dwarf/adv parallels are best worked consecutively or concurrently.  It'll be a subject of discussion for us as we're cleaning up this release, with the main focus being avoiding falling in a two year hole.

Does this mean we can embark on a road and get people passing through?
Do people actually travel on roads?

It occurs to me that road generation would need to be improved in Mountain areas.

Would you not say that this is both?

And 0.40.14 and 0.34.08 and 0.34.06 and 0.31.19 etc. for that matter. Major doesn't always mean new middle version point.

[Graknorke]

Please not more version numbering standards shenanigans. I think you knew what I meant.

Oh no... I've crashed a few times . It may just be my faulty memory.

Use Large address aware on your DF exe file.
It completely removed almost all crashes for me and several other users.

EDIT: Can anyone explain what is going on here?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(ignore the queen, she is a vampire)

2 of my dwarves changed their name to existing names in the unit list and are frozen and thristy and hungry with the task "store item in bag". They are also frozen on the same tile if that matters.
They still have their real name when using "v" but that name does not exist anymore in the unit list strangely.

This is probably a bug with the new version right?

[Toady One]

It's not good...  perhaps some residual job info pushing extra unit names on the list.  Reports and saves on the bug tracker probably useful for it.

[Bumber]

Is there a limit on the number of items a dwarf can multi-haul? I'm getting a mental image of a dwarf unsuccessfully attempting to hold a bunch of limes.

Might they better use empty containers for larger jobs, or even some kind of basket tool at some point?

On that note, do you have plans of attempting a 64bit build?

[Toady One]

I mentioned the wheelbarrow in one of the logs I think.  I didn't get to that, but it would remove the slowness from weight.  A carried empty container would just make them slower, though in some cases yeah it would be more realistic.  I'm not sure what the limit ends up being, since it chains between different considerations and at least one arbitrary bail on a loop.

On that note, do you have plans of attempting a 64bit build?

Yeah, I did the first attempt on that and it totally failed, since my express MSVC doesn't even support it.  If I want to continue using MSVC, I'll have to buy it now I think, or go through some weird process which doesn't work for half of the people.  It caused everything to be delayed.

Yeah, I did more investigation, and got a bug. It was not corrupted memory, but something to do with containers. Uploaded a save and a bug.

[Toady One]

Hopefully that's also related to the scary unit list screenshot.  Looks like tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.
