I've downloaded the new version (the one with the Mayday graphics pack included, if it makes a difference), and have found a disappointing lack of rivers. I've generated half a dozen worlds, none of which have had anything bigger than a stream, four squares wide. Are others getting the same problem, and if so, what changes do I make to the worldgen parameters to fix it?

I had an 18 river over a cliff creating a huge waterfall as my first embark site. Perhaps you just have bad luck.

Look through the custom world generation options, there's options for increasing the number of initial river starting points. I've found that I can usually tripple the default number and still generate a world without too many rejects. The same goes for volcanos, btw.

Also, bring back the old location finder Not being able to search for flux, river AND volcanos suck.

The good news is that I eventually got the river I wanted, using the Medium Region worldgen parameters. The bad news is that the default worldgen still hasn't worked. If I had to guess, I'd say the problem was that the relatively small landmasses didn't give the rivers enough room to grow before they hit the ocean.

I found anything larger than a stream to be quite rare even in 40d.
