Bugs I have noticed:

Unicorns give birth now.  Their babies are called elk.  Appears to be a mislabeling in the raws as opposed to actually giving birth to a different species.

Immigrants arrived in the first summer, before seeing any caravans or trade liasons.  With the immigrants arrived five horse foals which were not the pets of any of the immigrants.

Mermaids spawned in the serene ocean, swam around for a bit, then erupted in massive amounts of blood and died for no apparent reason.  No, they didn't air-drown - they were still in the ocean - and as far as I can tell nothing attacked them.

Trying to build a door in a one tile wide hallway gave me the message "no access to door" despite the hallway ending at the furniture stockpile with doors in it.  At the same time miners at one end of the hallway were stuck with "No Job" despite mining being designated at the other end of the hallway.  Saving, quitting, and reloading fixed those problems.  Seems to be a common problem with pathfinding - the connectivity map is getting munged and you have to save and reload to fix it.

The meeting area I designated on the surface has the warning label 'hot'.  So does the one I designated a layer down, and the one I designated five Z-layers underground in solid rock.  Used to be that even if the surface was hot, a few layers down the temperatures would even out.  This doesn't seem to be causing any injuries or bad thoughts yet.

In adventure mode, three simultaneous announcements of drowning occured soon after entering a human town from Travel mode. Found the 3 dead in the pool of the towns temple. All three were priests, and I suspect that they were spawned inside the pool when I arrived.

On a unrelated note, Legends mode is sweet. Attacked a goblins Dark Fortress, died, checked legends to see how that adventurer did, and noticed that the ruler of the fortress had impaled my body on a spear soon after my death. Awesome

Expedition leader became an "expedition leader" when he gained enough farming skill to become a farmer.  HE turned from purple to brown.

Edit:  Immigrant arrived as grand master armor smith.

First is an extension of previously reported bug, taken to its extreme:

Immigrant arrived with legendary wood burning skill.

Second, butchering a cow produced enough stuff to bring the butchery up to maximum clutter by itself.

Third, among the contents of said butchering, I came across this:

HYPER BONUS EDIT: Butchering a horse also caused massive amounts of clutter, and also produced sweetbread (albeit of the horse variety).

Okay, I have not gotten a lot of the bugs others have been report, but I just started getting the "Miners dig some tiles then stop mining" bug. The designation doesn't go away, there is no announcement, they just stop mining and show "No Job." Sometimes adding new mining designations elsewhere breaks this, and they'll mine anywhere from a few to a few dozen tiles and then stop again. Saving and restarting also makes them start working again, but they will quickly stop again when I reload.

The only difference between this site and my others is this one has no river. Also, when I started it was raining, and although it caused no damage I thought it might be somehow related, but they still refuse to work when it's not raining.

Update: okay now they seem fine. Maybe saving and reloading after the rain stopped did it, I don't know.

Sweetbread is either the thymus gland or the pancreas. IRL, calf and lamb sweetbreads are the ones most commonly consumed.

Something Ive seen - or done wrong.

Pumps (at least the ones pumping from the east) Do not work correctly, I had a waterfall fall through my hall and down into a chamber where the pumps where meant to pump it out.

Instead the water got blocked by the pumps and backed up + flooded my hall.

The pumps had double the power needed and were powered at all times by windmills and to be sure i even manually pumped them with no luck.

I wonder if pumps work in any other direction?

[Patarak]

I've observed a bronze colossi throwing a chimp using its upper arm. I think this may have been in the old version but I'm not sure.

[Psieye]

Ok, crashed that first fort deep underground and got to experience some intensive combat. So intensive in fact, that my recruit became legendary within real-time seconds of combat. Too much EXP per action? I know units go through a flurry of combat moves within those seconds, but it still seems very weird for a dwarf to become legendary at some combat skill within an in-game day with no prior experience beforehand. Mind you, these insta-legendaries died moments after turning legendary, but that's besides the point.

Oh and for those who want to get to the HFS but have a bit of trouble as I had:

Getting through the 3 tiers of underground expanses is more or less straightforward. Then you hit the magma layer and it becomes hard as there is nothing you can do to get past semi-molten rock. As far as I can tell anyway. Tried pouring water on it and nothing happens - the water doesn't evaporate and the rock certainly doesn't cool down. There gets a point where the entire floor seems to be made of semi-molten rock so you can't dig past anymore. Actually shouldn't that water evaporate when it hits the semi-molten rock?

But you don't need to mine through the semi-molten rock bed. The shaft up from the lowest layer already exists, you just need to discover it by tapping on the raw adamantine (at the magma layer).

HFS and don't-know-if-bug about them:

Immediately afterwards, demons will spawn at wherever you revealed the hell layer. No chambers anymore, you just get a large platoon with lots of variety - and they all fly.

Are snow demons meant to not melt when swimming through magma or indeed, being right next to flame demons? Well, banshees but they're all Hell's denizens.

Sweetbread isnt a bug... it's what you call certain organs when they are prepared for eating.

Well, 2 things that may or may not be bugs.

One, several goats somehow got into the bowels of my fortress. I had been paying attention to digging designations on the other side of the fort, and only noticed the goat's arrival due to a flurry of job cancellations. Either they are very stealthy ninja goats who managed to make it all the way to the workshop area before being spotted by a dwarf on an errand, or they somehow teleported in there.

Two, in the hilarious mad dash of military might trying to catch the goats and beat them to a bloody pulp, a macedwarf managed to lodge his mace in the lower body of one of the goats. Unless I am very much mistaken, maces are bludgeoning weapons and should really have a ridiculously low chance of getting stuck in goatflesh.

What are the dimensions of your embark area?

4x4, so it shouldn't be the known teleportation bug. And thank Armok, as elephants appearing in my workshops would be Fun indeed.

syntax error located:
"you are caught in a burst of giant boiling blood'
where giant is the creature whose blood it is.
Would sound better as 'you are caught in a burst of boiling giant blood"

Oh, and Giants have their caste names around the wrong way, with giants being female, and giantesses being male.

Dwarves wear thick clothing. (Contains HFS)

2 forgotten beasts showed up at my fortress at almost the same time. One of them had something in his description about "deadly blood." Now I tried to put up a good fight, and eventually I killed this guy. Despite the fact that the fortress is swimming in his blood, the dwarves seem unaffected despite the fact that the other forgotten beast and a crundle were paralyzed and killed very quickly by it. Was it the dwarfs' clothing that saved them? Seems like something that burns forgotten beasts to death should also get through clothes.  Additionally the second monster breathed a frozen extract that was repelled by the dwarfs' clothes.
