Woooo! Can't wait to get home so I can play this version.  My Marksdwarves will blot out the sun with a hail of properly chosen combat and training bolts!  The Goblin invaders (that now path to the fort on the world map) will continue the charge even after their squad leaders have been caged or slain!  My Axedwarves shall meet them fully decked out in masterfully crafted armors fresh from the forges! The Dwarves shall celebrate their victory and sing songs in the newly constructed tavern accompanied by exotic instruments!

IT SHALL BE GLORIOUS! :D

Thanks Toady!

Thanks Toady!

With these I think the most impacting issues introduced with 0.42.01 are fixed, and a good deal of the old ones too.  Now I guess will we have some fine tuning on the new features?

Well that military armor bug was making military undoable, so that's good. (Hopefully I can still magma trap my way through the enemies)

Also i will test it right now to see if the librarians now produce scrolls !

Indeed, there is nothing that makes me laugh quite like watching those goblins jump to their death. :)

Thank you very much for this bug fix, Toady. Definitely made my day/week/month.  :D :D :D

Hahah what was in that save that warranted making it to the devlog? I am both fearful and excited.

They said the walls were impregnable. You didn't have to prove me wrong by giving birth on them.

Yeah, there's going to be a mix of continuing fixes of new and old, and some simple old suggestions, and some adventure mode cleaning in terms of rep/rumors/quests/etc. so things make more sense and are easier to navigate.  Not all for next time, but spread out over some releases.  At some point during that process, when I feel like it's all a bit more stable, we'll try a 64 bit test.  Then after that we'll transition into the next set of features, whatever ends up being selected -- we might peel off an artifact test release before we go for the full myth generator, or not, it depends on how it all has to hang together.

He he, yeah, I was like, "how are we going to be sure the leader will die in the trap?"  And then I saw the 10 adamantine weapons in the trap.  Then I was like, "but what if they live through the fall if they dodge?"  Then I saw the giant magma pool.
