Here's a quick follow-up for some of the worst bugs.  There are still some strange things going on (horses all over, duplicate companions, etc.), but hopefully this version will work much better than the last one.

Major bug fixes
   (*) Fixed world generation freeze caused by error in poetry refrains
   (*) Fixed crash from building constructions on tree leaves etc.
   (*) Fixed calendar crash from bandit bar hoppers
   (*) Fixed crash with children joining socialize activities (most common with migrant waves)
   (*) Made worship activity branch properly (so prayer needs can be satisfied)
   (*) Fixed world gen seed not repeating after abort

Other bug fixes/tweaks
   (*) Can see deity for temple in location screen
   (*) Cannot spot vampires from occupation list anymore
   (*) Fixed a few typos

Ohh, awesome. Let's see if this fixes my current fort's save which crashes on a migrant wave. Hopefully the next bugfixes will address the military not wearing armor which pretty much makes military not work atm.

To the Linux users experiencing the 'libpng error: bad parameters to zlib'error, causing the game to be unable to read curses_640x300.png:

Edit the df script with a text editor, and add export LD_PRELOAD=/lib32/libz.so.1 somewhere in the middle of it.

To the developer of Dwarf Fortress:

Don't statically link zlib.

Thrilled with all the changes in the new versions!

I've still had a few worldgen crashes, but not like before.  Plotting farms now!

Depending on the distribution, it might need to be export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libz.so.1 instead. Replacing df with this script should make it work on most any distribution.  Or to copy-paste the script from right here:

You might also need that fix on some 32-bit distros, not just 64-bit ones.

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Well, this is just silly.

export LD_PRELOAD="$(find /{,usr/}lib{32,} -name libz.so.1 | head -n 1)"

   (*) Fixed world generation freeze caused by error in poetry refrains

That was very nearly a haiku of awesome right there:

export LD_PRELOAD="$(find /{,usr/}lib{32,} -name libz.so.1 | head -n 1)"

That uses bash syntax, so if you do that, you'll also need to change the shebang to #!/bin/bash .
