Planter just organised a party then cancelled it immediatley, because there was "no floor space".
Turns out he's in prison. 20 days to go.

"Oh man I'm bored, I think I'll throw a party."
*Steps forward, stumbles, looks back at chained leg*
"Ohhhhhhhh. Right."

The reason whips are considered so powerful is that they pretty much completely ignore armor. In adventurer mode armored enemies are quite rare and even when they do wear armor it's just a helm and breastplate. In fortress mode where whips got their reputation though, players are always going to be armoring their military, probably with full materwork steel and such so when the goblins bring in their whips and tear straight through the armor it's far more effective than any other weapon, but against unarmored enemies it's a bit bad as it's attack speed is the only one below 3:3.

I read somewhere that it's effective at chipping a bone and making an opponent pass out(and neck-shots are often insta-kills).

I never seen a neck shot but I can confirm they very regularly chip bone/shell/chitin.

To me, goblins always arrive too late so all my militia dwarves are well-equiped weapon masters.

Militia Commander: "You, you and you, kill the goblins with me. The rest of you, continue your parties."

This.
Every siege is just a competition to see who can get the most kills.

IIRC socks are the only clothing that matters to a real dwarf. All other clothing is an elven conspiracy designed to turn us all into tree hugging sissies.

Long story short, you can just make 3 types of clothes:

1) Socks
2) Masterwork Socks
3) Artifact Socks

All others are abominations. You can use dfhack to dump those tattered clothes, the command is:

Fixed that for you

I like the dining hall death window method but I prefer to drop them from a great height to cause explosions.

It's looking to me like taverns and temples will only require extra work if you want them to look good.
I haven't seen any mention of requirements for furniture or anything, so it would seem all you need to do is designate a zone and leave it to do its job.

Of course it's impossible to know for sure until we actually get the release.

I had a problem with them refusing to leave the depot for over a year, meanwhile other civ caravans came in and parked on top of them to trade.

I eventually solved it by deconstructing the depot, could you give that a try?

If you need to kill them use an indirect method like caveins, magma, or goblin sieges.

A condensed changelog would be great. I like to read the dev blog, but it takes a lot of time and effort.

Copying all of the changes from these into a single thread shouldn't be too much work, but there a few things that need solving.
1. Stickying - I'm presuming a request would have to be put in to Toady for this to happen.
2. Posts - Would probably need to restrict the posting somehow so we don't get distracting posts mixed in with the logs. This is working on the assumption multiple posts will be required, does anyone know the maximum limit on a single post's size?
