Version number

From DwarfFortressWiki

The version number identifies each Dwarf Fortress release. Tarn Adams assigns it when he publishes a release. Version numbers are composed of four numbers and a letter. Each component has its own meaning:

1. The first number is how many hundreds of core components have been completed.
2. The second number is the total number of core components completed.
3. The third number is the total number of required components completed.
4. The fourth number is the total number of bloat components completed.
5. The adjacent letter is increased by one alphabetically for each bug-fix release of a version.

Dwarf Fortress is currently in an alpha development stage. There are still basic game features missing. The following goals need to be completed before alpha and beta are complete and version 1 will be released:

• In fortress mode, the fortress needs to be able to grow into a capital that can interact with the outside world in various ways, including trade, diplomacy and war.
• In adventure mode, the adventurer needs to be able to interact with all elements added.
• The core and required components need to be implemented.
