Dwarf Fortress 0.31.11 was released on July 23, 2010

Combat was the focus last time, and this time I moved over to equipment and training. There are a number of bugs left to fix, but a lot of the largest problems should be cleaned up and training should be somewhat usable now. I wanted to shift ammunition over to a default system where it doesn't get tied to particular squads/hunters (with the old way left as a default for people that want to control it more), since that remains one of the more annoying things, but I didn't have time to finish it up. Just make sure you have some extra bolts sitting around, and 'm'-'f' should show you how your squads are doing ammo-wise. Barracks should also probably default to a non-reserved/non-purposed system, though that's not as bad as ammunition reservation is. In any case, I'll be moving on to the month-end project and entity populations, though I'll release again sooner if something comes up. --Toady
