I have a suggestion for a small change that could be included at the last minute -

Make the game music toggleable in-game.  I love the music in the game, but if you're going to spend hours playing the game, being able to take a break from the music without restarting the game and editing data files could prevent people from going uh, stark raving mad. 

I used the word "game" way too much in this post. 
You could always just go to the settings and turn the music down to nothing. It's right there, in the Escape menu that you can reach from just about every screen.

What?! Don't be silly.
What was I thinking, doing things the easy way is just plain undwarven.

Crap.  Just when you think you've learned all the special tricks, you realize there's a sound menu.

So does this mean that the long string of miscellaneous bugfixing is over, or was this just a brief diversion.

I still think that the whole fortress should be flooded with magma the moment you try dividing by zero.
This could be a handy way of teaching preschool children mathematics.

I would be very surprised if the misc bugfixing is over.  I'm guessing that there are a ton of bugs from all the new features.

Also, the fact that a human cut another human in half with his fingernails in today's devlog suggests that there are still some important bugs that need crushing.

So wait, does the hydra grow heads \s, or just survive decaps?

Question: If the Hydra heals more rapidly, then does this mean that modders will finally be able to adjust the rate that creatures heal to some extent, or is this hardcoded?

IIRC, the hydra just survives decaps. Which could be useful in itself.

Ofcourse we all know that a human cutting someone in half with his fingernail is not a bug but a secret and very deadly martial art.

Edward Scissorhands has been ecstatic lately. He took joy in slaughter lately.

Using the instant-butcher command from the arena, we had a skull from each severed head and five skulls from the eventual corpse.

Don't Hydras usually have seven heads? If so, where did the other two go?

Good to know that the Hydra test is a success :)

but I also had a human hack off a couple hydra heads with an adamantine short sword

Apparently, "a couple" means "two".

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
