DF Changelog
« on: July 13, 2008, 09:52:08 pm »

I know there are release notes that give a sort of terse summary of what a release is all about... but when the next release comes around will there be a detailed changelog outlining all of the things changed between the current iteration and the soon-to-be released version?

I'd like to inform a friend of what all will be changing but short of sifting through a LOT of dev blog entries and trying to parse all that into a summary I'm not sure how to do it.

Off the top of my head:
- map editor
- roads and tunnels
- civilization professions
- better legends
- murder
- better worldgen
- meal variety wants
- better construction
- easier dumping and forbidding
- more detailed adventurer text
- worldgen wars

The main game doesn't really change all that much. There's just a lot of flavour text.

Don't forget Bug Fixes and the groundwork for wars in game.

Also completely unconfirmed and probably non-existent, but more raws.

But I think that was just a dream on my part. It is an eventual goal, but I don't think it's happening just yet.

What about hiding? I hope it only hides it from my view, not the dwarfs'.

Murder? How does that work out?

There have also been a few changes to the interface - You don't seem to be able to turn off hauling on a dwarf now, since it isn't listed in the labor submenu anymore.
