Every stockpile is numbered. When a bin is assigned to a particular stockpile, it inherits the number and has the number placed after its name in <>s as you describe. Eventually, they should be dragged to the pile they're assigned to. Each stockpile with at least 1 allowed bin will claim a bin whenever they have fewer assigned bins than they have allowed and they have 0 empty bins assigned to them.

None of this sounds bugged to me. Necromancers can arrived stealthed, like ambushes, and can reanimate things without breaking stealth. Hair being difficult to kill is... unfortunate, but a natural outgrowth of the combat system and their total lack of everything. A bladed weapon should be able to kill it if you get lucky, though.

Also, magma probably wouldn't help much. For whatever reason, magma and fire still kill by means of massive bleeding, even if they're now less survivable than previously. Undead cannot die from bleeding out, however, so dumping magma on it would just leave you with flaming unkillable hair. The only advantage to using magma on undead is that when killed after being set alight they tend to stay dead.

Didn't I just answer this question earlier today? Ah yes, I did:

You very recently got a migrant wave. That dwarf was part of said migrant wave. For unknown reasons, believed to be related to injuries in world generation, occasionally a dwarf will show up that is wounded as you describe. They'll heal right around when they first need to sleep and all of those injuries will disappear. It's probably a bug of some sort, though as they do heal it's a pretty benign one.

Alternatively, and less likely, you've fought a forgotten beast, titan, or other syndrome-causing creature or have evil rains or fogs that cause injuries like that. Probably not, though, or you wouldn't have had to ask.

Start new forts, then immediately abandon, ~150 times and the ghosts should all die of old age.

Runesmith hasn't been updated because it needs new offsets for the program to locate the data points that it uses to do what it does. Previously, the DFHack crew would find all of the offsets and everyone else would just use theirs, but because of changes to the way DFHack works with memory it no longer has a memory.xml file that Runesmith needs. Runesmith's maintainer is working on a dissertation and doesn't have time to seek the offsets himself.

Most domestic animals become sexually mature at age 1 year, but don't reach full size until age 2. A just-barely-adolescent turkey may be too small to give any meat, especially if they're particularly small specimens. Geese may be better for meat for that reason, as they reach full size at age 1 and sexually mature at the same time and are only slightly smaller than turkeys.

Was the giant louse a corpse when it killed most of your animals? If so, it's probably just the biome. Necromancers usually don't show up for a time after you embark, so depending on when you're talking about it's probably not that, and if it was a necromancer you'd be able to see that there was a necromancer present in the combat reports, even if you couldn't tell where it was. Also, not every evil biome has evil rains or evil clouds.

Irrigation has not been changed since before 40d.
