This new feature didn't even get a mention in the release notes for .10, but I think it's fantastic. I build a lot of levers and bridges, so until now it has been tedious to make sure all the linkages are right. The notes feature helps some, but this is better. With specific names on levers and bridges, there's no more guessing on the linkage screen.

I'm curious about what other uses players have found for this new ability to name buildings.

I've yet to use the vanilla version (haven't resumed my fortress yet: waiting for stress to be balanced a little). However, the DFHack version has been used a lot, and I think it's a great thing it makes it into vanilla.
- I name stockpiles. That way I can see where hauling jobs go.
- Levers, of course.
- Zones. Gathering zones according to the tree they're used with, dump zones, for their purposes, and tavern/library/temple(s) for their purpose.
- Workshops sometimes, when used for specific purposes.

I think there are additional usages I'm just do automatically...

Actually, it did:

Other bug fixes/tweaks

• Balanced stress effects
• Allowed nicknaming of all buildings/zones/stockpiles

Not up and running on this version, yet, but I had in mind that it'd save me making my external notes regarding which deity is specifically worshippped in which micro-temple zone (not that I've yet got used to tavern/library/temple zones anyway, I'm still trying to work out how I use them in my forts).
