The project is currently hosted on github, for both source and binaries at http://github.com/peterix/dfhack
-The library and tools are packaged for Archlinux and are available both -in AUR and the arch-games repository.
-The package name is dfhack-git :)
-DFHack works on Windows XP, Vista, 7 or any modern Linux distribution.
OSX is not supported due to lack of developers with a Mac.
Currently supported Dwarf Fortress versions are Windows and Linux.
Note
Windows 2000 is currently not supported due to missing OS @@ -386,56 +381,62 @@ functionality. If you know how to easily suspend processes, you can fix it :)
0.31.01 - 0.31.03 legacy

+0.31.04 - 0.31.25 SDL
0.31.05 - 0.31.19 native.
-There are missing offsets but Map tools should be OK. Linux support is -a bit lacking, I'm working on it. Very slowly. All supported Windows versions -running in wine can be used with native DFHack binaries.
+0.31.05 - 0.31.19: spotty support (some things might not work)
+0.31.22 - 0.31.25: full support
+All the DFHack tools are terminal programs. This might seem strange to Windows users, but these are meant mostly as examples for developers. Still, they can be useful and are cross-platform just like the library itself.
Cleans all the splatter that get scattered all over the map. Only exception is mud. It leaves mud alone.
Removes all ramps designated for removal from the map. This is useful for replicating the old channel digging designation.
A command prompt for liquid creation and manipulation (the Moses effect included!) Also allows painting obsidian walls directly.
This tool lets you change the game mode directly. Not all combinations are good for every situation and most of them will produce undesirable results. There are a few good ones though.
I take no responsibility of anything that happens as a result of using this tool :P
Forces DF to pause. This is useful when your FPS drops below 1 and you lose control of the game.
Prints the game mode, current DF window properties and cursor position in both local and world coordinates.
Reveals the whole map, waits for input and hides it again. If you close the tool while it waits, the map remains revealed.
Test of the process suspend/resume mechanism. If this doesn't work as expected, it's not safe to use DFHack.
Fills all the 'candy stores' with 'delicious candy'. No need to fear the clowns. Don't use if you haven't seen the hidden fun stuff yet ;)
Use if you prematurely close any of the tools and DF appears to be stuck. Mostly only needed on Windows.
Designates a whole vein for digging. Point the cursor at a vein and run this thing :) Running 'dfXvdig' on Windows or using the '-x' parameter will dig stairs between z-levels to follow the veins.
