It lost the req/bloat numbers, and is now instead 0.<Core number>.<Version number>

With so many different reqs and bloats, finding how many were actually added is probably a lot more taxing on Toady than is appropriate. This system is simpler and more straightforward.

edit: ninja'd!

I can't get the bug tracker to work.  It seems to have forgotten me. 

I wanted to report a bug about volcanoes.  In the earlier version, the shape of a volcano changed as you go up or down.  It seems that isn't so anymore.  The shape of the volcano is consistent from the bottom all the way to the top. 

That would probably just be a minor thing, except every volcano I've checked opens on a slope at the top, except instead of just having an opening in the slope, the wall of the volcano extends out of the mountain side to the highest part of the slope it touches.  There is a thin obsidian tube filled with magma growing out if the side of the mountain.

I have to admit I haven't played DF in a while (so it might just be me being a numpty). But is anyone else having problems with making charcoal from wood?

[Megaman]

The wood burner job is under farming, I believe.

Ah so it is! omg, been looking for that for ages, things have moved around a little, but its been a while :-) Thanks for the quick reply!

[Megaman]

No problem. Anyway, the starving/thirst bad thoughts should really be removed when the only reason the dwarves are not eating is that they are trying to finish their training session/barrel/bin/bucket/boose/planting/berry gathering

[Tayron]

For those having issues with military training till they've nearly starved to death...
It seems as though putting a stockpile with food/drink in the barracks helps that.  Either that, or my troops aren't training as much as they used to, it's kind of hard to tell.  Either way, they're no longer starving/dehydrated, and unhappy because of it.

[Megaman]

I put a 3 by 3 stockpile in the barraks earlier and they still got starving/death of thirst unhappy thoughts

[DeKaFu]

Aah... 
I downloaded, plugged in my graphics and deaccented language raws, went through the ini and set things to my preference...

It crashes as soon as I select "create new world" from the main menu.

It seems to work if I turn off the graphics, so...
Did I really manage to screw something up or are graphics just broken? Did something change in the way graphics need to be set up?

I'd search the forums but I'm really trying to avoid spoilers until I can play...

Congrats on the release.   I just kicked in my release donation (before I forget) but I think I'll wait a week for the brave to clear the inevitable bugs before I jump in.

 The new site is rather hard to read with the world map background. I think the old site layout was better.

 I haven't been able to get the computer that can run DF yet, so review pending.

Apparently you don't need a large population to be able to assign an arsenal dwarf.  I reached my pop cap at 30 and noticed that the option wasn't available.  Later I noticed the "Fortress attracted no migrants..." message so on a whim I took a look at the nobles and sure enough the option to assign an arsenal dwarf had appeared.  I'm thinking it might have more to do with created wealth than population.

Until the OSX version is released, I won't be able to play 0.31 and thus can't check this, but I'm wondering if the Arsenal Dwarf position might require a certain amount of armor and/or weapons to be present before becoming available (nothing for this dwarf to do, so no point in having someone in the position?).  Had you made any between checking, or had any hostiles arrive who would have "created" some of these items?

[Megaman]

When I think about it, giving dorfs time off from training every so often is actually a realistic idea, because as of now training is very rigorous and the dwarves spend most of the day doing drills leaving next to no time to even eat or drink.

[Azkanan]

No... No... Noooo!

Can I run it? Yes.
Can I play it? Yes.
What speed? 10-20fps.

Damn thee, my broken PC and this crappy backup minitower!

DAMN THEE!

I had a play of it, I got through a month in about 30 mins... So.. Slow. Dolike the 100+ Z levels. Luckily I noticed this half-way through digging my X stairs. (I dig a huge chute staircase).

...I found a clan of something-men, who were hostile, in a nearby cave and a cave crocodile on the other side of the complex. I built a bed as a base for a barracks and walled up all but one entrance. I sent down my doctor and brewer to test out the military force (Dolike the Single Training thing), who were, by the way, training naked except for a cape and boots in the deep caverns, because I hadn't quite got ahold of the Uniform system.
So, there they were in this small, awkwardly cramped, room training on their lonesomes, when behold a Cave Crocodile comes storming in (at 1 square every two seconds or so) and bites off my doctor's head. I checked the description, and apparently it was "cut open" and bleeding "<name> <name>'s dwarf blood" from the head. He died soon after. As did my Brewer.

And the rest of my five dwarves.

At one point, the cave crocodile got door'd out from the slightly-flooded underground farm, till the Planter got thirsty and decided to open the door.
Funnily, the Crocodile attacked the carpenter, who was on the other side of the room, whilst the Planter slipped out unnoticed.
The chase was on, but I lost two stone from starvation on waiting for the crocodile to catch him, which is when I abandoned the fort.
