Think it could be possible to give adventureres some love in the next bug fix?
Sewer grates and drowning just bellow one has been bothering me a little , if the sewer is 2 tiles bellow (1 tile space between ground and sewer) it's possible to get air, standing directly bellow the sewer grate (ie no space between sewer grate and where you swim) makes you drown (Ie you don't get air).
Due to this large areas of sewer areas are impossible to explore as a mere human.

This group of bugs covers those problems.  In general, it helps to link to reports.

Now that the caravan wagons are back, seems there is a bug when you build two depots.
Wagons go to one (or queue to it), and the other merchants with pack animals go to the other.

AFAIK this is new one - the best way to fix it is to report bug/find existing report and upload save (before arrival of bugged caravan) to http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/my_view_page.php

It probably falls under this report.

I'm about 95% certain that the underlying problem is the same for both knockback and throws.

So hauling a creature will stop a mood? I think thats the first time I've seen something stop a mood. A mood is a mood! You can't just stop one, right?

No, mood will not start during leading animals.

It's interesting that he chose to fix it that way instead of making dwarves just stop leading animals when struck by a mood.  Maybe indicative of the inflexibilities of animal hauling or the job system in general.

This is on the bug tracker.

A full body robe only counts as a shirt currently, meaning at the very least four items per dwarf are required.

Are there any plans to make upstep and ubstep work for covering up a dwarf to prevent bad thoughts?

This probably deserves a bug report.  There's already some known weirdness with UBSTEP and LBSTEP.

Incidentally, are there any plans for gender specific clothing?

Doesn't quite answer the question, but Toady has touched on this and it doesn't sound like it's a priority:

Finally, there aren't any gender links to clothing right now, so you might see male dwarves in "dresses" and "skirts" in the new worlds.  Keep in mind that men all over the world wear clothing like this, and that's what is meant by these generic terms.  You can remove the items from the entity raw before you play if it makes you feel uncomfortable.

I'm just babbling, but why don't we fix the bugs and Toady adds the features? That might get stuff done more quickly, and it means Toady can be as creative as he likes. There's plenty of bug fixing mods, why don't we make them a bit more official?

Are you talking about open-sourcing the game or something else?  The open-sourcing discussion has been had.  Also, managing the bug tracker is vastly different from actually fixing bugs in the game's code.

Yes, using a tilde (~) instead of a hash (#) will link to a comment.  For example, typing ~21683 on the tracker will link to comment 21683 (regardless of what issue it's attached to).

Monitoring is mainly relevant for notifications, although I think some or all of that is disabled in our configuration.  Its most basic function is just being a list of bugs that you care about.
