Why is there a crushed can with a string sticking out of it stuck to the wall there?

It's the chalk holder.

indeed, and, to be precise: its a chalkbag, made for climbing (probably goblins stuff)

I guess i missed something: When will the new version 40.14 LNP arrive?

Just changed it as suggested and did a new fort, it is Early Summer - still no migrants.

I will try it! 1 Second!
Edit:

PopCap is already: 200 and i took the vanilla version from the LNP 40.05 R1. Do you think i should try the version from the original toady download? Or should i switch to R2?

I understand the feelings of OP in some respect, though i agree with you about the fact, that this kind of features need their time and are certainly appreciable. In my opinion the feeling is raised by all the hopes and hypes (yes, there are some!) that are connected with the game,    especially when it comes to updates. Therefore i think it is hard to judge him for his disappointment, but it is still very alright to correct him: The actual update foreshadows what is yet to come.

I am very happy about this update, and i am not even a big fan (not yet?) of adventure mode (though i love nethack and similar games as everybody else does.). But there is still the very subjective (maybe even childish) part in me, that cultivate high hopes. Example given: I hope the update process will be alot faster next time, because there so many little features, that i think, are easy to implement (e. g. smoking dwarfs, gay dwarfes, new random dialoges, new items, the taverna, loading goblins into siegeequipments, little details) that will help the game to grow as well as the big wonderfull changes we got with the latest version of df. In fact it would be twofaced not to dream of these wonderfull little details and not to compare these ideas with the outcome of the work. It just natural to think and feel about this, as it is natural but wrong to conclude this update would not be a very big step forward! (fyi: i dont play masterworks/mods..(yet) )

Sincerely yours,

ps. please excuse my amateurish  english.

I am amazed how structured most of the designs look, i just make them up as is go. Some of your designs are so minimalistic, i would not want to live in these fortresses. (though, my designs are probably just an expression of my amateurstyle.

Jars of bees is a pretty funny idea, imo. Maybe we also could bombard our foes with jars of blood etc.
