- This is a bug fix and optimization release, which is probably something we should get used to for a while, since there is a lot left to do! I've tried to make it possible to play in larger worlds again, but there's also more that can be done.

Major bug fixes[edit]
- Fixed several large slow-down culprits
- Stopped trees from growing through floors
- Fixed a problem causing the suspension of constructions (old saves with affected jobs will still need to restart them) (ag)
- Fixed a few problems with hospital code causing them to overstock item (ag)
- Fixed problem stopping underground fishing (UristDaVinci/Quietust)
- Made cultures that oppose intruders more lax when in places controlled by less wary groups (one cause of marketplace knifefights)
- Made adventure-mode ambushers somewhat more in tune with their task
- Made master soldiers stop reverting back to corresponding regular soldier type
- Fixed crash that could occur when looking at adventure log while traveling
Other bug fixes/tweaks[edit]
- Stopped clearing professions upon achieving master soldier type
- Fixed the population cap
- Made it possible to detect plantings too late in the season again (Quietust)
- Stopped migrants from retaining certain adv/etc. flags harmful to their integration into the fort (making them 'hostile') Note: those from old saves might take off articles of clothing and store them and other strange things, since the integration could not be made complete easily...

- Handled a few problems causing extra/erroneous long patrol thoughts (Quietust)
- Made children get full list of default labors upon growing up and respected any existing skills
- Stopped migrant historical children from receiving labors
- Made underground populations properly respect layer size (the numbers can get very high, but blame the giant under-ocean caves in part)
- Stopped hyper-obese digesting dwarves from constantly recalculating insulation/mass data (ag)
- Fixed some problems causing certain jobs to check too many items (angavrilov/Quietust)
