DF 0.31.20 now contains more fixes than any other 0.31.* version (according to the bug tracker). Go toady!

Wouldn't it be like .31.19A?

Its suppose to be just bug fixes.

I've dropped the letters since 0.31.01 as part of the overall simplification of the release numbering.  The main thing to aim for now is getting to 0.32.01 before I hit 0.31.99.  Hopefully that'll be happening after Release 1 on the schedule, or right around there, so rolling over the 2 digit counter won't be an issue.

Not really. 31.02, 31.06, 31.08, 31.10, and 31.15 pretty much were bugfix releases only. Depending on what you consider a feature rather than a tweak, you could add more to that list.

Say, Toady, what with the new trade improvements coming up, will it eventually be possible for traders to place orders or commission stuff from your fortress, such as armour? In that case, will it be possible for dwarves in Fortress mode to make armour fitted to the size of other races? This would be most helpful in adventure mode too.

This has come up a couple times:

when will we be able to forge non-dwarf size weapons and armor?

Probably when agreements with humans become more interesting.  They just pay more for certain weapons right now, but it would be fun to have them commission several human breastplates, for example.

Have you planned further limiting the availability of plate armour? As far as I know, it is not 'one size fits all' equipment. So if we wanted to commission a set to our measurements, it'd cost a lot and take (a lot) of time make. Adventure mode in particular would benefit, fortress mode perhaps less so.

Making clothing size requirements more stringent is iffy:

having to size clothing for different dwarves [...] is a nightmare

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg698450;topicseen#msg698450

Will there ever be size differentiation for clothes?

There might be size differentiation for clothes later, but only when we can handle it without it being a total nightmare for the player.

How about proper shield damage to make them less reusable? This is possibly coming with item damage though.

I don't have any particular plans, but it sounds reasonable enough.  People have posted some relevant quotes and things here for the issues in fort mode.

The oldest question in the book:  When you were editing the raws for all the new stuff, what did you add first, the chicken or the egg?

[Mantonio]

When moving parts are added, will it be possible to build things such as (off the top of my head) pier supports by dropping them into the water? That way we could have harbours, seaforts and towns on lakes, that are built more realistically rather than it all standing up by being connected to the shore via one floor tile..

Good question.

As for which came first on planet Earth, I've started a thread on the debate (and I've got some wicked arguments!):
Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg? (a debate)

[Mel_Vixen]

Well the actual question would be if we can get a selfhetching egg. We have now eggs and itemcorpses so could i create now a proper phoenix(?) that keeps killing stuff for centurys with fire?

According to the wiki, eggs won't hatch unless fertilized by a male, so I don't think you can make them self-hatching.

even if that worked it would not be recognized as the same phoenix in history. you'll need also to transfer the soul for that to be a 'proper'* phoenix

* as usual with trying to properly defining fantasy stuff, your mileage may vary.

Chicken vs. Egg in DF:

being litteral I guess the egg came before chicken.
taken more broadly, there were kobolds, lizards, reptiles and birds before they started laying eggs.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

actually, people were modding chickens in their games long before they could mod eggs, so chickens came first
