Glorious!

Ohhhh... the title screen actually uses up all the space available to it now.  I wonder what else does.

I'm looking forward to this...

Am I the only one who's excited that giraffe eggs are fixed now?

Nevermind, I'll see myself out.

[Sutremaine]

Happy birthday to me! Well, almost, but even if it were released yesterday I was out.

[Footkerchief]

Does adventure mode still crash when you ask about service, and are castles still often filled with animals?

The Adv. Mode service/report crash is fixed.  I think Toady just forget to add it to the changelog (I already PM'd him about it).  The castle bug wasn't marked as fixed -- it would be helpful to update that report with your findings regarding 31.22.

[CharlesPeter]

Everything in here is great Toady. Thanks for the work and the new DF talk!

[freeformschooler]

I had thought animals filling abandoned castles was a feature 

Anyway. This release is made out of love. I think it might count as pretty "stable".

(*) Stopped raw processing from including backup files

Does that mean no raw duping? nahh probably not.

Also, PENGUINS OH HECK YES.

Thanks Toady, you and ThreeToe and the others are great!

EDIT: I don't think the changelog made much mention but legends mode was really spiced up quite a bit. It's beginning to look a little more like a well crafted encyclopedia of the world now.

[Dutchling]

Can I play this with my old save file without missing bug fixes?

[Greiger]

Yes you can.  I am now.

Although I seem to have come across a new possible bug.


My meeting hall waterfall isn't working anymore.  Seems water now refuses to flow down stairs.  I tried digging near it to reactivate the flow like you used to have to do with stuff like utilities that add liquids but no dice.

There doesn't appear to be anything like a tree blocking flow (the whole thing is paved by a road to prevent just that) but it isn't flowing down the stairs like it did last version.  It's stable 7/7 on top of a down stair.

I don't know if that's an artifact of transferring the save over or something new though.  And I would like to work that out before submitting a bug report on it.  Can anyone else confirm or deny it?

EDIT: All new down stairs built in the save work, just the one preexisting dosn't appear to.  ...Stand back! I'm going to try SCIENCE!
Actually...first I'm going to save so I have a save file in case I need to put in a bug report.  Then I'm gunna try to fix it.

[Footkerchief]

You'll get all the fixes except the fish one and the raws tweaks.

[Toady One]

re: fluids, my guess would be something to do with the z level attack fixes, since it was related.  It's certainly possible some z issues could have arisen.  I'll check it out and cook something up after I get up if necessary.

edit: just tested draining a swamp down some stairs into a lower tunnel and it worked, and the z attack code looks fine at least locally.  A save would be handy for this one.  Going to bed now...

[TolyK]

thank you so much, go get some sleep!

  Awesome-sauce. Vegetable dorfs will be rarer now and more tragic.
