Ah well.  There's been speculation that "rough release" means he may be likely to drop the merge to get the release out the door then merge it with 40d19 afterwards.  Any truth to that?

Baughn has talked about that but not sure if it will happen, there's a chance it will though.

It would be nice in the sense that it could quickly determine any bugs which are purely a result of the merge.

I hope it's not another 9000 pages. That would bring us into the next decade.

Not if we spam hard enough! Here that guys? Spam harder!

In all seriousness, Toady One probably wouldn't have the facility to get page 1000 if he wanted too. Unless he scripted the thread to stop accepting posts at that point so he could come in, but that would be rather silly.

[Kadath]

Or, you know, insert his post at the top of page 1000.

BTW, I was expecting more rage at my post. Oh well.

That'd be funny: the link to the new release, somewhere for nobody to find... We'd be waiting for days or weeks before some newbie bored enough to read through it all suddenly pops up to say "hai guiz, why u no plaing DF?!!?!1".
Evil... but stylish.

Bastard... Editing just when I've thought of something witty!

Toady would not by that evil... would he?

HE JUST MIGHT


OH GOD THE CONVULSIONS

[bombcar]

You mean I'm the only one trying to determine what the version number will be so I can see if the file's been uploaded but not linked? df_??_???_??.zip

The truth may be out there!

[tfaal]

If he had uploaded it, he definitely wouldn't have flagged it as public. Toady ain't stupid.

[Thundrim]

Whoa, over 1000 pages under current user preferences. Congratulations to the Holy Diver up there at this most critical juncture!

offtopic i know, but i was wondering, tfaal, where's your avatar coming from?

[Dabi]

I predict the release will be on page 1111 using the default user settings.

Glad you asked! It is from the wonderful comic Gunnerkrigg Court, which you should all read from the beginning, because it's awesome. The specific comic it's from is here.

[PeterTheEvilBastard]

Dude, holy f****** sh** balls, no more predictions! No more, I say! Do you want me to pop an artery? I'm on the point of starting a new fort, actually. I'm getting mightily PISSED about this release, so many dwarves are going to die gruesome fiery deaths. There will propably be carp involved as well at some point.

haha, i knew the style was familiar. I love this comic, but as i'm trying to read it slowly i'm only at page number 442

Besides, supposedly there are still four items to ticked off before release:

# Explore a few other (very minor) compat issues
# Any remaining tests
# Handle a few misc. bug reports and minor interface requests that have arisen
# Merge with the 40d# stuff

Few more than that if you expand all the spoilers

(999th page woo hoo)

'Redacted' objects are postponed till later releases.

Wait so I go and play KF for a while, and like as soon as I'm so engrossed in that that I'm not alt tabbing to OCD on this topic, BAM! THREE PAGES!!
