Title: Is there any place to go to see the modding changes for new releases?
Post by: Seriyu on July 23, 2014, 01:21:26 am

I mod sporadically, and was wondering if there was a sort've "changelog" for new tags/functions and such? Failing that, can someone just tell me what's known about the new release in terms of modding? I like staying caught up.

Aha! That certainly seems to be a start, at the very least. Maybe entirely complete! Thank you!

Every DF release comes with a file called "file changes.txt". "Release notes.txt" and the bugtracker changelog (http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/changelog_page.php) sometimes can point you towards things that changed; Finally, keeping up with the FotF (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140544.0) replies and devlog should give you some overview.
