This is the changelog for the version of Dwarf Fortress following 0.34.11

Toady has said that it will be released in early July 2014:  http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=139054

The version number will probably be 0.38, 0.39, or 0.40

==Combat and Movement*==
* Movement and Attack speeds have been split
* Reaction moments (catching a swung fist)

==Lethality reduction==
* No immediate enemy recognition in cities to avoid fights to the death on the street
* Conflicts and conflict levels are tracked (lethal/nonlethal)
* Critters can enter a state of terror from lethal battle, especially if they’re likely to lose
* Enemies can surrender
* Draw and sheath weapons
** People in cities won’t appreciate it if your weapon is out.
* Mode can be switched to non-lethal in object testing arena

==Sneaking==
* Sound indicators/vision cones
* Running, creeping, walking, sneaking, as opposed to just walk and sneak
** Need to accelerate
** Sharp turns slow you down
* Vampires can sense creatures with blood.
** More generally, tags to sense arbitrary creature classes
** can be attached via interactions/syndromes

==Tracking==
* Creatures leave tracks as they move unless they fly or are ghosts
** Track descriptions depend on what  left the track - feet, boots, turbans...
* Tracks can be found in their own vision mode

==Climbing*==
* Climb up to branches, walls or down to ledges
* Can't climb smoothed walls or ice walls

==Jumping*==
* Can grab onto tiles when jumping or falling

=Entity sites=

==Demons==
* Due to spoilers, Toady has revealed nothing about demon sites beyond that he has added them. Sites will contain ample amounts of randomly generated features however. 

==Goblins==
* Central tower with pits and tunnels underneath
* Connects to first underground layer
* Trenches, tunnel entrances, watchtowers
* Prisons with prisoners and snatched children
* Troll-shearing pits

==Elf sites==
* Orchards
* Trees with canopies as much as thirty tiles wide

==Dwarf Sites==
* Hill Dwarves - farms and settlements on or near the surface
* Fortresses - connect surface and first cavern layer
* Deep sites - farms and settlements in the first cavern layer, below mountains
* Noble Hierarchy - the king rules a few dukes who each rule a few counts whose barony often includes a few towns with their own mayors.
* Player fortresses can now be non-destructively retired.*
	** Retired fortresses behave as NPC fortresses but retain other information
	** Retired fortresses can be reclaimed.

=Other=
* AI can now reclaim sites ruined during worldgen. Both during or after worldgen. 
* All megabeasts can now attack and sometimes occupy civilization sites.
** These occupied sites cannot be reclaimed by the AI, but can by the player.*
** Retired fortresses can be reclaimed.
* Civs will now continue to build settlements after worldgen, with some limitations. No roads or markets will be made in these post-worldgen sites
Armies inhabiting foreign conquered sites can now alter the sites to some degree.
** Goblins will begin building trenches and small towers “in human villages, elf sites and dwarf hill sites that have been taken after some time passes”

==Entity Groups==
* Armies now exist on the world map and move about during play, and you can encounter their camps.
* Bandits harass townspeople.
* Invaders cause mayhem in conquered sites.
** Destroyed buildings, killed historical figures, things impaled on upright weapons...
*** Killing their leader should often get them to leave.
* Invaders have camps with tents for soldiers and large tents for their commanders.
* Commanders chased out of their camp try to return due to their responsibility. Soldiers patrol the camp, raise the alarm.
* Townspeople no longer know exact positions of lairs.
* Entities have various “claims” to sites, rather than outright uncontested ownership every time.
* Goblins will hunt down a civilization’s leaders and kill them, instead of just slaughtering indiscriminately. 

==Heritance==
* Entity positions will be inherited as they do in worldgen.*
* Anyone who gets too old (as defined in the raws for their species) dies.
* Conceptions occur periodically, and schedule a birth to be resolved at the appropriate time.

=Personality and Conversation=

==Personality*==
* Dwarves, and other sentient beings, now have personal values which are based on their cultural values but may deviate.
* Dwarves now have traits which may not be value-neutral.
* Dwarves will have “dreams” or life goals
** creation of an artifact
** taking over the world.
* People react to death depending on their personal traits
** may applaud or call you a murderer and spit at you

==Conversation revamp==
* Time no longer paused while talking.
* Rumors will spread among NPCs, which they can then relay to you.
* Townspeople may lie to you, if their personality supports it.
=Other=
* New opening paragraph in Adventure mode depending on your starting situation.
* Companions now join for specific purposes, and will leave afterwards.
* Invaders can now jump and climb when assaulting a fortress. Some limitations apply.*  

==Multi-tile trees*==
* Falling leaves and fruit
* Item clouds/spatter
* Flowers
































* These are directly applicable to Fortress Mode
