Looks like the skills are done relativly fast. I would asume at max 5 days work on them and theyr are ready for use.

After that i think Healthcare can be done within a week.

Very good work Toady. I wouldnt have exspected that you are this fast.

Default attribute settings for races + massive new slew of attributes?... FFFYES.

I concur. We'll have to see how some of the other items go, though, like Sites and Entity Positions.

Sites looks straightforward.  It's Squads you should probably be worried about -- there are a lot of implied UI elements and sweeping goals.

Yeah, see all the things labeled "Update" or "Handle"?

I was thinking more of putting off the squad things and the map feature things until the following release; they seem at first glance to be orthogonal to what's been done so far.  A release sooner means opportunity for the QA team (us) to find bugs in code that Toady wrote one month prior, rather than three months prior.

But it's not like I really have time to play for another couple months anyway, so perhaps I shouldn't care.

Not really. The current combat AI is "swing randomly", so if Toady wanted to keep that, nothing would change. He might have to update it, but that's a really fast job. Pick random body part, roll for a hit. Pick random number between whatever, add or subtract due to strength and skill, that's how hard you hit. The bodypart system should handle what to do with the hit of ___ type with ____ force at _____ limb.

So, when  is this coming out? Has there been a date yet?

And in the main post under creature raws, what is Toady going to do with the standard creatures?

No date.  May would be an optimistic estimate.

And in the main post under creature raws, what is Toady going to do with the standard creatures?

Updating them to the new creature raw format and giving them fancier, more detailed bodies.

Hmmm......May. Only 2 Months.

I can't wait for the rabbits to accidentally end up with huge fangs due to some unfortunate typo.

[Demonic Gophers]

...some unfortunate typo.

You spelled 'splendid' wrong.

Maybe, but the list is still huge.

 I doubt that the next version will be released in may to be honest. Probably we must wait 'til summer..

Doesn't Toady keep some bizarre schedule? Like waking up sometime mid-afternoon and working all night?
I ask this so I can know what part of the day to expect updates.

Gods don't sleep.

... I think they just take very long naps.

Three more items, the largest being the bite/punch/kick/wrestle distinction in the natural attack skills/raws. I was considering adding custom combat skills for natural attacks and items at this time, but when I was going through it became pretty clear that it's premature, so I just took down notes for it instead for a later release.

Sounds interresting! Can we ask what your ideas on this are?

[Mephansteras]

A request for Toady: With the new wound system and whatnot going in place, would it be possible for you to fix the bug where caravans bring dead animals in cages to freezing areas? I've even seen polar bears show up dead, and that just doesn't seem right.
