Specifically for version 0.28.181.40d, 18 additional special builds were released for both Windows and Linux (but not Mac) with graphical performance optimizations and were named "0.28.181.40d2" through "0.28.181.40d19". These optimizations would later be incorporated into the "SDL" releases of Dwarf Fortress versions 0.31.06 and later, while the "Legacy" releases would continue to use the original graphics logic from version 0.28.181.40d.
 
 
 
Later versions of Dwarf Fortress (starting with 0.31.01) dropped this scheme in favor of just counting the number of Core components and bug fixes - using that scheme, this release would have been named "0.28.10".
