all of the new stuff was broken so the only new thing you could do is mine extra deep and die

Sounds like it's working as intended.

What a cruel way to force us to test that specific new feature...

why that SDL (40d) stuff is so important?
what is it?

SDL = Simple DirectMedia Layer. It's a cross-platform library for low-level I/O.

If you're not a programmer, all you need to know is that it means new versions of Dwarf Fortress will work on Windows, Mac and Linux without much effort and that the graphics code will be faster so you should get a better frame rate.

There's an un-cruel way to have your dwarf slaughtered by a horde of demons?
Well, I guess you can always setup your entire fort with collapsing ceilings that knocks out your dwarves, so the die while unconscious, much less "cruel".
