v0.31:Version number
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
The version number identifies each Dwarf Fortress release. Tarn Adams assigns it when he publishes a release. Version numbers come in two forms, the newer short form and the older long form.
Newer short form:
Version numbers are composed of three numbers. Each component has its own meaning:
- The first number is how many hundreds of core components have been completed.
- The second number is the total number of core components completed.
- The third number is increased by one for each bug-fix release of a version.
Example
v0.31.05, the 5th bugfix release of the version of Dwarf Fortress with 31 core components complete.
| 0 | . | 31 | . | 05 | |||||||||
| Fewer than 100 core components complete | 31 core components completed | 5th bug-fix release | |||||||||||
Older long form:
Version numbers were composed of four numbers and a letter, and possibly another number after the letter. Each component had its own meaning:
- The first number was how many hundreds of core components had been completed.
- The second number was the total number of core components completed.
- The third number was the total number of required1 components completed.
- The fourth number was the total number of bloat1 components completed.
- The adjacent letter was increased by one alphabetically for each bug-fix release of a version.
- The number after the letter referred to openGL optimizations. These reflected no changes to the gameplay, only to top-level interface and improved performance on newer video cards.
