Studded With Patches
Masterwork-DF - Studded With Patches (MWDF-SWP) is an unofficial development branch of Meph's amazing Masterwork Dwarf Fortress, with patches and experimental features applied. It's not intended to replace the official Masterwork releases, and due to the developmental nature of the project, it may actually contain more bugs than the official releases. However the project goal is to provide the community with faster access to Masterwork bugfixes with minimal friction.
MWDF-SWP contains bugfixes, software upgrades, and experimental features that are not yet in the official Masterwork release. The definitive list can be seen in the commit logs, which show changes are they are made. Note that some changes in that list are to developer tools, and won't be visible to end-users. MWDF-SWP has been the basis of official Masterwork releases, including 4e and 4f

The distribution is updated whenever I apply a patch. There are two downloads I recommend you chose from:
- The gold release contains all bugfixes and improvements which are considered stable. It is always based upon the most recently release of Masterwork Dwarf Fortress.
- The beta release (recommended) is the same as the gold release, but with additional changes which are not yet considered completely stable. Things don't get placed into beta until we're pretty sure they work, so it's recommended for most users, but occasionally things will still be a bit rough around the edges.
Both downloads are based on the latest release of Masterwork, and both include an updated release of Dwarf Therapist.
There's also a release for the very, very brave, but if it's broken, you can't complain. ;)

- The alpha release is the same as the beta release, but also includes experimental features and bugfixes. Things here may be completely broken, but you're welcome to try it if you like.

If you already have the latest release of Dwarf Fortress, you can download patch files which should update your distributions to the Studded With Patches versions of the files. These are automatically generated, and are not guaranteed to work. If in doubt, use the zips above.
MWDF-SWP is hosted on github, so you'll want to get yourself a github account, which only takes a few seconds.
The SWP Contributor's Guide is a wiki page which contains information on how to report bugs, contribute patches, and other useful information. If you feel it's missing something, then please add it.
