My history doesn't go back many versions (to 44.12 iirc), but in 47.05 there have been many trolls destroying doors.

were those trolls a part of a siege?

can anyone else confirm building destroyers which didn't come as part of a siege, aren't functioning properly.
What do you define as working properly? As of 0.47.04, the game was patched so only sieging building destroyers destroy buildings (I think, the log is a bit ambiguous - are "large visitors" specifically people travelling to locations, or any LARGE_ROAMING creature?):

Stopped large visitors and residents from seeking and destroying buildings even if they do so as invaders
So building destroyers that aren't part of a siege not destroying buildings should be an example of the game working as intended.

Apparently there is also a long-standing bug where building destroyers can't break buildings they're adjacent to, but I don't play enough fort mode to know if this is still the case or outdated information.

I'm almost certain that "visitors and residents" refers to sentient civilisation members who visit your fortress as diplomats/performers/etc.

not a good change IMO but who am i to complain, it's less micromanagement since now i can lock things in with doors.

former building destroyers still keep their building destroyer pathing tho so it causes them to camp doors.

"visitors and residents" refers exclusively to people who come in as tavern guests, FYI.
