The calendar is lightning-fast now, at least for small worlds.

Even medium-sized worlds are a lot faster, it takes at most fifteen seconds for the calendar to advance.

Toady, while/if you're here, would you elaborate on viable eggs for egglayers without [CHILD] tags? Does this mean that eggs of those species will hatch into grown adults now?

EDIT: nuts, I thought the times I was seeing on the forum were PST/Toady's time for some reason. Nvrmnd.

[Toady One]

Yeah, they should hatch as "adults" or whatever their standard state is.  It should still respect size vs. age parameters properly, though we know how good my track record is on that.

Does this mean we can buy vermin pets like hamsters and birds from the elves and release them from cages now?

I haven't changed what they bring or how release works, or fixed bugs with that yet.

Is this referring to broken whips that cut steel?

It would affect that, but I haven't tested it or looked at contact area yet.

May I also ask if fishing populations and thus sources of shells will be "tackled" soon?

I haven't fixed the shell bug yet.  Underground fishing should work, but I'm not sure if you are talking about turtle pops or some other error.

[YAHG]

Everything is SO much faster FPS wise, thank you for the update Toady.

[AJC]

obsidian having proper yield values means rock sword swords should cut now instead of bashing stuff bluntly.

[PeridexisErrant]

You'll be shifting to bug-fixing mode for a while?  Double-yay!

I'll probably also get a chance to do some of the easy small useful suggestions as we go as well, and if I recall you had like 90 of those.

Awesome!  I've also posted a fair few of those...

(*) Fixed several large slow-down culprits

Very cool. Can you maybe share some technical details?
Also, does this include slow-downs that were already in 34.11, so people not playing 40.* until now will see a difference?

[Getix Kain]

I am curious about the new "living world" concept and fish population in Fortress mode.

Is is viable "fishing" now as a long-term source of food?
Do fishes .. reproduce, now?

[Footkerchief]

   (*) Fixed the population cap

Thank you so much for this one! I host one-on-one newbie sessions for people and it was very difficult helping them learn the basics of the game with populations rising too fast for them to handle. How does this work now? Does your mountainhome civ actually know how many people they've sent to your outpost?

   (*) Fixed problem dividing out item milligrams in weapon velocities (UristDaVinci)

Is this referring to broken whips that cut steel?

The whip report: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=2712

   (*) Fixed some problems causing certain jobs to check too many items (angavrilov/Quietust)

Like using whole stacks of bones and shells?

I. Love. You.

[EinsteinSatDown]

Splendid.

This afternoon, a new fort shall rise, and another adventurer shall meet his demise!

[martinuzz]

Totally awesome!

On my fort (small region, 150-ish years history, 4x4 area, 46 dwarves, about 80 pets), framerate went up from 45 to 70 below ground, and from 30 to nearly 60 when looking at the surface level, compared to 40.04

Much pras.

   (*) Allowed egg-laying critters without baby/child state to have viable eggs

This includes dragons, doesn't it?

[TomiTapio]

Most fantastic, oh great one!

It seems that some of PERSEVERENCE's were not fixed somewhere. See the attached screenshot.
