The river rewrite has likely altered even the basic form of worlds, especially if the number of rejects has changed.  Rivers happen really early in the process.  Aside from any problems, I prooooooooobably won't be messing with that much for a while again, but this time, there was a large change (many more rivers with the big ones more evenly distributed and abundant).

Of course the catastrophic crashes and things are the stuff I'm most interested in right after a release, and I'm curious about the DLLs if people are getting errors there, so I can rebundle it.  After that, it could really be anything, without much direction to guide us.  There could be new things with that metal rewrite, the diplomat and sleeping fixes, and really almost anywhere with the optimization changes.  Adventure mode of course will be filled with bugs and horrible bridges and all that -- this situation hasn't changed.  But really, my main concern in the coming hours is just, like, is it crashing?  Is it okay?  Any faster?  Slower?  That sort of thing.  I'll be addressing more bugs with the next release, so old bugs that have already made the tracker aren't as important to hear about here.

I noticed that the liquid contaminant spread bug wasn't addressed in this release. Please tell me that this is at the top of the list for .14

Aww crap, massive bug. Military dwarves can lose their job prefs after their orders are canceled.

Never mind, expression of different bug.

Many thanks and keep up the excellent work, Toady!  The current arc and the speed with which you're making progress is quite exciting   

[kamber]

Thanks Toady, doesnt seem to be crashing yet and its running 4-5 fps faster (from 16-20 to 20-26 w/176 dwarves).
Awesome

I get a 4-8 increase in FPS and have no DLL problems.
Nicely done, sir.

My laptop claims that 'Dwarf Fortress.exe is not a valid Win32 application.'

I'm on Windows 2000.

I went for a spin on adventure mode... Oh also, world Gen hits 1 fps at about 200 years for me now, heh heh. Anyway, I felt quite a diff in speed. So well done.

I'm getting an "Could not create world due to too many subregions" error when trying to gen a world which is just a default large region with the only changes being a 250 year time limit and a 15,000 export requirement for Forgotten Beasts.

Ah, I see in one place that the newer MSVC compiler has dropped Windows 2000 support.  I don't know anything more at this point.  We'll have to see what the options are.  Some of the new SDL version stuff requires C++0x and I've found it quite convenient as well, and as far as I know MSVC 2008 and earlier don't handle it.

Yeah, Windows 2000 was EOLed quite a while ago. Microsoft no longer supports it, which makes anyone else supporting it hard.. I'll see what I can dig up, but at this point I don't have high hopes.

Dropping VS 2010 would require rewriting some code, and it would also revert a large part of the performance gain in this version.. why are you still using 2000, if I may ask?

World creation crashed in a seg fault in Ubuntu 10.04

Testing again to see if this can be replicated.

[Knight Otu]

The dll bundle was the first thing I tried. *said the Knight to the vanished text* Well, if it won't work, it won't work till I upgrade.

[colorlessness]

Linux version now requires SDL_ttf where .12 didn't, might mention that in README.linux.  No worldgen segfault for me yet (on Fedora).

<3 you Toady
