one of my miners just died from starvation. i hadnt played very far, autumn had just struck, i had plenty of food, and my fortress wasnt very large at all.
has something changed concerning food in the new version?

also, is is possible to see status message history in any way?

You can see a log of previous announcements by pressing A.

He may have gotten trapped somewhere and you might not have realized.

i dont think so actually, the fort was really small and simple, also right after someone put his body on the cemetary

He got his hands on the new Dwarf Fortress release and played it so much that he forgot to eat and died.

Stone on ramps/stairs sometimes breaks pathfinding in unintuitive ways. In my last fortress I had three stairs in a row. Two of them had stone deposited on them from subsequent mining, and I started occassionally getting cancellation messages from dwarves needing to traverse the stairs to complete their job. But not always. Some dwarves could find their path with no difficulty. Others couldn't. My best guess is that it's a factor of where the dwarf if relative to the stairs relative to where he needs to go. With construction, it was easy enough to simply to wait a few moments then re-assign the job, and it would generally pathfind correctly. With eating or drinking it's not so simple.

Keep objects off of stairs and ramps.
