I have never seen dwarves walking through vertical grate...

1. Are you sure it is vertical grate not a floor grate?
2. Are you sure it is actually constructed, not only designated?
3. Did the dwarf just walk through it or was it pushed by water, also was the dwarf in combat?

My bet is that it is not yet constructed.

The other matter is just the frequency of the updates. People will want their dwarves with the best possible equipment and they also will want them to not bother with minor upgrades if it means wandering off. This is more subtle and also a lesser non-bug issue, so I'm going to mark this report as resolved and note the other issue down for consideration as a rebalance for whenever it comes up.

Regarding the second issue, that seems like it could be an arsenal dwarf setting that the player then balances to his needs. Some default value would need to be in place for forts that have yet to meet the arsenal dwarf population requirements.

Yeah good idea with arsenal dwarf setting. Personally I would like to set my dwarves to immediatelly perform even minor upgrades when in inactive or training mode, but do only the absolutely necessary equipment changes when given move or attack order.

I am getting some graphical gliches when going from one screen to another ingame. Seems like some screen areas that should be refreshed are not.
Using default settings [PRINT_MODE:STANDARD] and [SINGLE_BUFFER:NO], haven't yet tried others. I am on Windows XP SP2.
 
Lets show this is on screenshots:

Btw nice work on making FPS counter find its place on screen without obscuring anything.

Try adding the [HASSHELL] tag to whatever animal you want.

Doesn't seem to have worked.  Do you have to mod the saved raws, like in 31.xx ?

There is no save folder-specific raws in 40d.
I think that in 40d [HASSHELL] works only for vermin animals, try adding it to some vermin fish or to some ground vermin (rat, beetle etc).

This is what was happening to me in 0.31.1 and 0.31.2 versions. There is some sort of update to pathfinding every few minutes that fixes the problems.
But 0.31.3 fixed these bugs. Well... it seems that not all of them. 

Upload a save so others can test it.

Drop it 50z levels down, or cave-in a ceiling onto it.

If you want your dwarves to kill it, mod axes to have 10x more weight, contact area, penetration and speed modifier. Or 100x more if 10x doesn't work. Don't forget to revert it back later.
