Huzzah for the release that fixes military! (And beekeeping, and babies, but mostly military).

Will be looking forward reading the next set of fixes inbetween DF loading times ;)

Thank you very much for all those bugfixes, that's impressive how much of them have been squashed since 40.01.
Keep up that bugfixing great work.

Thanks again, Toady!

Players who want working quarry bushes should continue to use the raw modifications in bug #7032.

Thanks Toady! I skipped 0.40.06 but I will play 0.40.07. We can expect another week before the next bugfix or will you try something different this time?

Hm..

In 40.07, I created a world, started playing in Dwarf Fortress mode, and if I press ESC prior to selecting an embark, the game crashes without any error or message.  It just... disappears. :)  No windows event log, no popup warning, nothing.  Windows 7.

I didn't copy over any init files.. as a test, I took the generated world and copied it into a second brand new vanilla 40.07 DF, and the behavior is the same.

Second test, I regenerated an entirely different second world, and it's acting the same.  Rebooted in between, checked again it works in 40.06, all good there.

Spoiler: something is hinky (click to show/hide)

This worldgen is causing the game to crash with this sequence of events:

Generate world.
Select "Start Playing" from the main menu.
Select "Dwarf Fortress" from the mode menu.
After the embark finder loads, press escape.
<game crashes>

This worldgen worked in 40.01->40.06, and all I did was paste this worldgen parameter set into the worldgen.txt file.
I've generated two particular worlds (with a surviving dwarven civ) and they both do the same thing... so I'm not exactly sure what's causing the abend.

To be clear, there's nothing strange or unusual about this worldgen parameter set that I can see.  I edited it entirely within the game interface, nothing is extra or manually out of bounds or out of range.

I get the same when exiting out of the adventure mode select screen.  Must have to do with the calendar advancing? because it doesn't happen, when I exit legends mode or save an already started fortress.

Hmm, Downloaded this on my laptop and it refuses to run. Says it is missing fmodex.dll when it's right there in the same folder.

So I can finally backspace when I make a typo?

I am excited for the new lever-pulling labour. Combined with burrows, this is going to make elaborate trap-based defence so much more viable.

Hmm, did something profound change with constructing walls?  I had 8 gneiss blocks in a bar/block stockpile (no bins) on the surface.  I ordered b-C-w to start building a wall.  I happened to make it 8 X's north/south.  I placed it, scrolled the cursor to the gneiss blocks, and hit Enter 8 times... except, hey wait!  It only needed 1 Enter instead of 8.  Sure enough, dwarves showed up at the wall and started building the southern 7/8 of it without blocks.  Then one dwarf took a gneiss block to the northern end to build that last tile.  The result: an 8-tile wall built from 1 gneiss block.

Then I did it again, with an east/west wall.  Same thing happened.  I now have 16 tiles of wall, and 6 gneiss blocks remaining.
