The public beta test for the next iteration of the alpha release is almost upon us.  I think we nee more Greek letters to properly describe Tarn's development cycle.

[Leotto]

This is exciting!

Buahahaha.

Anyway, YAY! Also, that'll give us the opportunity to go bug-hunting and see those bugs resolved in a short time.
Man, that is exciting!

1 week!  HUZZAH!

[Qiu]

The current situation is that I expect a (buggy!) Windows release in about a week, with the 40d# merge commencing at that time (or within a few days of the release). This is a bit of a change of plan, since I was originally going to release for all operating systems at once, but I feel like I'm going to get even more bogged down if I don't do it this way and the initial pre-merge release will give us a control to work with in the same way that 40d can be compared to 40d#. The initial merge release shouldn't take too long though, and it will be the top priority aside from the worst catastrophic crashes and things of that nature. I know the merge changes make the game playable for many of you when it otherwise isn't.

Yay!

There's nothing before Alpha, and Gamma(Γ) comes after Beta(β)…
I can't see an opportunity for expanding there; maybe if you pretend it loops and use Omega(Ω) but…

Coolness!!! I would agree with you on that a pre merge release would act as a control to give us a baseline to measure the post merge release from.

I hope this truly means that it will be released next week sometime.

Also, this gives a real deadline to those that still have forts running, we have a week or so to go before the forts all commit ritual seppuku to transcend to the next version!

If the mac version comes out later I think I might strangle someone everyone.

*Runs away*

A fitting end for my soap fortress, I am sure. "In the next life, our soap will be valued!" <stab>

Fixed a crash related to vermin getting caught in cobwebs, and another series of crashes related to temperature. The conditions for the different landed nobility to be elevated from your fortress population are in the raws now, as are megabeast and semimegabeast and titan attack conditions. They can be set based on population, exported wealth and created wealth. So, for instance, if you run a low-population fort for whatever reason, you can adjust the numbers. This came up during the course of debugging the landed nobility... and it turned out the liaison was not coming back in subsequent years because the visiting dwarf lost the position upon leaving the map... anyway, that's sorted out.

What's all that squiggly stuff around the dev log entry?

Here's to the only computer game I have ever evangelized about to strangers!

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a huge sword.

[Justice]

Guess I'd better start designating the adamantine in my current fort...

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a huge flaming sword made of magma.

Fixed that for you

If that horseman is war, what was the first one? Peace?

Although I'm wondering what the others were before the second one.

[Orkel]

A WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

Best news I've heard in a long time.
