Very few changes to the fortress core. The waterworks is almost operational now, it's just a matter of waiting for the mechanics to hook everything up to levers before throwing the switch. I've also redesigned the entryway a bit, starting to add fortifications as I hit 84 dwarves this last immigrant wave, which should mean the real sieges start soon.
Not too worried about that though, as thanks to my new legendary weaponsmith I have 60+ steel exceptional/masterwork crossbows and 50+ warhammers. By herself she's nearly tripled the value of my fortress ($350k - $1m) in half a year. I have her set to working on steel bolts now. The metalworks has 8 dwarves full time on steel production, which is enough to keep up with a small surplus. I'm training up my starting armorsmith on steel shields now.
The most obvious change though I'm putting in as a point of interest.
The HTML5 map viewer is currently in Alpha mode - I'm actively trying to develop new functionality.
There should be many very obvious problems with the viewer; please check
the
Issues page to notify or comment on the most egregious problems to help
me prioritise. The most common will be Loading... with an error
in the browser developer tools console. e.g. RangeError: Offset is
outside the bounds of the DataView
. Feel free to

A rose gold spear? Ooh, I'd kill for one of those! What was it called?

"Palacemountain". Relatively sensible, actually.

You learn something new every day, and today's something is "Boustrophedon". :) That's some serious metalworking setup you've got there.
