It comes out when it's ready. Probably not for a few months, at the rate things are going.

Toady One never really says that an update is coming out until it is out, you can keep up to date on what he is working on vaguely by reading the posts here http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/

No date.

We do know, however, the major contents of the up and coming release. There is economy tracking, sites no longer have every resource. When you make a fort you'll have to consider what you want because metals are less numerous. So there's a real economy.

Next there is ceramics and the animal drive animals, like bees. Eventually Toady will add adventure mode caravans and caravans actually moving on the world map as well as horse mounts. I'm thinking that it will take a while, but luckily 0.31.18 is a great version that anyone should be happy with.

Hope that answered your question of content :)

Live long if you can, and prosper by any means necessary.  Any means, Urist.  So pull that lever, or by Armok, I'll lock you outside come next siege.
He who plays with dwarves must take care that he does not become a dwarf.  And when you stare into DwarfFort, Dwarffort stares back into you.

Usually, count a few week after he's finished adding features. He will have to iron out bugs.
That's how it have been in the past anyway. He won't give a date, for obvious reasons.

In bug news, the zombies in a necromancer's tower became suspicious after the necromancer failed to age and he fled into the hills.

The quantity of updates the last 2 months have been significantly less than average.  not sure exactly what it means... but it means that things at least sure seem slower.

In the past, when updates have been slow, it's been because he's working on stuff that isn't much fun to write about.

I imagine that with site tracking, there's a ton of work to do, but not a lot of cool stuff to write about.

Next release will also have vegetable oil!  Cruelty free* soap for everyone!

We had to wait 2 years for the first .31 version to be released, so consider yourself lucky if the next version comes out this year. ;)

I'm guessing late February or early March based on nothing.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

I would be surprised if it were released that soon. There's still a fair amount to go in.
