The version number of a Dwarf Fortress release indicates the number of completed development components in that release. It is assigned by Tarn Adams and consists of the following five pieces:

  1. "0" for alpha or beta state, "1" when it is no longer in beta.
  2. Number of core components completed.
  3. Number of required components completed.
  4. Number of bloat components completed.
  5. A lower-case letter which is increased by one alphabetically for each bug-fix release of a version.

The first four pieces are separated by periods.

Example

0 . 27 . 176 . 38 c
An alpha or beta release
27 core components completed
176 required components completed
38 bloat components completed
Third patch release
