It crashes for me every time when I start the challenge mode in hospital, with static and random NPC’s enabled, as soon as I open the door from the room I’m in. Tried another world, same issue. Also crashes instantly as soon as I want to pickup any clothing.
Sure the version in the link was the correct one as ‘stable’ RC?

It’s an RC, so we’re looking for these sorts of crashes BEFORE we call it stable. 
That said, we’re running latest-experimental as the RC whilst the last two fixes percolate (and one of them is just about ready, needs a helluva lot of testing as it involves a nontrivial code migration).
OK, I just finished off the the remaining German strings, except only 2 strings, which are fuzzy. The rest is done! I uploaded it as file to Launchpad this time, it can take about 1 day until the change is actually applied. Here you can see the status of pending PO file uploads: https://translations.launchpad.net/cdda/trunk/+imports
Oh, and can you please fix some minor issues with the English strings before you freeze them?:

Taken care of.
For people who have not played since the last release the number of new features is ridiculous… Id have not touched the last official release in a long time. I cant even remember all the differences…
I don’t know if anyone actually seriously kept track of them but indeed, the number of new features, even underlying code blocks, is insane.
The windows dl-links 404’d. Is it just me? I am using my mobile phone atm.
I’m half guessing, but just pull the latest experimental.
Woah. Damned be the guy who will make the changelog! But hooray!
Also, i really want to see it.

HOLY SHIT! I havent played since stable 0.A and my mind is blown. So. Much. Content! Also I’m loving those sweet animations. When I am home again over the weekend I would like to donate some money for all the achievements you had.
Please Accept PayPal.

afaik paypal is accepted since… long ago =)
Yea, I was home sick last Thursday, I spent a whole day just doing the changelog (about 8 hours)
I paste the (possibily primarily?) changelog here. I removed some changes which I consider to be spoilers. It is safe to say that a lot of new monsters and creatures have been added.
Here you go:
Features:
Random characters have professions applied.
Brewing.
Wearable tools.
Martial arts techniques can trigger when wielding appropriate weapons.
Wing mirrors for vehicles.
Prototype hordes.
Adjust zombie speed with mods.
Made butcher menu’s first entry match the butcher hotkey, so you can just hold down the button to butcher all.
You can dig down stairs with proper equipment.
Scabbards, holsters and sheathable weapons.
At high skills you can quick draw/attack with weapons.
Fish spawn as distinct creatures, and they’re used for fishing checks.
Quivers for arrows.
Furniture can act as a tool.
Corpses rot and eventually disappear.
Armor is assigned to a layer, and armor on different layers doesn’t impose layering penalties.
Destroyed vehicle parts get ripped off the vehicle.
Player can start at various locations.
Special support for mapsharing installs:
lock down debug menu
lock players to their username
more configurable file placement
locks around map files
Language switch is dynamic now.
Guns such as revolvers no longer eject casings when fired, they’re instead ejected on reload.
Spending more time near traps has incremental chance of finding them, spotted traps are remembered.
Thrown items above a trap-defined threshold will trigger traps.
You can now peek through curtains and some doors.
Smashing a broken window again clears out the broken glass (relatively quietly).
Autopickup can get at anything you can reach, i.e. adjacent tiles.
Can set exclusion zones for autopickup, so you can avoid accidentally picking up all your stuff in your base.
Contents of books are unknown until first read (which is faster than usual).
Can craft recipes if you have a book in range that provides it.
Can learn recipes by practicing them.
Roof of the vehicle you’re currently in is not drawn.
Faction hostility is back.
Kiln operates without player being nearby.
Radio operated items.
Switched to seed-based weather generation.
Options are only displayed when they are applicable to your build.
Can perform unspeakable acts upon zombies to turn them into your packmule slave thing.
Messages give feedback on melee misses.
Foraging is seasonal, fruits will grow each season, but once picked are gone until the next.
Pet menu to interact with friendly monsters.
Starting scenarios stitch together profession, traits, and starting location.
Picking up and dropping multiple items is now an interruptable activity.
Activatable mutations.
Fire creates invisible hot air fields, which meander around in enclosed spaces and warm them up.
Factored windchill and humidity into body temperature calculations.
Vehicles smash items when they (wheels) run over them.
Refined vehicle/terrain collisions.
Jumper cables can be used to link together electrical systems of vehicles.
Crafting a large batch of items can apply a discount to the crafting time required.
Overhaul of “cut up” system:
Cannot cut up an item if it includes a material that can’t be cut up (e.g. shotgun).
Cutting up returns items from each material that makes up the item.
Cuting up most items should respect the total volume of the item.
Most terrain can be smashed now, if you can hit it hard enough.
Infrastructure:
Switched to SDL 2.0.
Made paths configurable for packaging and installation support.
Finished pushing martial art definitions out to json.
JSONized multi-tile building generation, leading to huger buildings.
Tilesets can provide a per-category fallback tile to handle new monsters/items/whatever.
Silenced all the warnings, now it’s easier to keep new ones from cropping up.
Lots of string handling infrastructure, making translated string handling easier.
Missing tiles in tilesets can fall back to ASCII.
Saner glyph cache handling.
Components used to craft an item are stored in the item.
Debug overlay for hordes.
Improved window handling.
Generic iuse functors unify many types of iuse functions.
JSONized bullet pulling recipes.
Generic support for foldable vehicles, still need support for crafting them.
Encapsulation applied to map accessors.
JSONized monster drops.
Damaged fuel tanks leak fuel on the ground.
Most menus use input context now, and therefore have configurable keybindings.
Switched build to c++11.
Items can have a list of iuse methods instead of just one.
Drug effects can mostly be defined in JSON.
Scripts for querying json in tools_json_tools.
Beefed up utf-8 input handling.
JSONized NPC definitions.
Unified recipe requirements across constructions and crafting.
Better error handling when initializing SDL.
Recipes can have byproducts.
Added a standalone map layout utility.
Monsters are saved to the overmap instead of per-submap, clearing the way for horde support.
Hgamelaunch start script.
Items can spawn with variable amounts of charge.
Monster blacklists are applied consistently to all spawn code.
Different ammunition-bearing monsters (turrets, robots) have customized loadouts of their various ammo types.
Balance:
Give most starting professions decent starting equipment.
Capped skill gain from many activities, especially crafting.
Melee weapons can take wear and tear damage based on their primary material.
Categorized CBMs you can get from butchering things.
BEES!
Armor values nerfed.
Mutagen spawn rates slashed.
Overhauled mp3 player morale bonus to make micromanagement of it suboptimal.
Amount of damage blocked by a block technique based on strength and skill of blocker.

Here you find the current full changelog (with spoilers).
I hunger for a release…I need this. I want to inject C:DDA into my veins. That sweet high…IT IS SO STRONG…I need this inside me
That is all XD
try injeting xperimental trash, it’s quite strong and let’s you live till the refined stuff is released. beware though, it’s quite… hmm, habit-forming though =D

funny enough this (running into bugs and fear of loosing the char or his base) is exactly what forced me to switch to experimentals =/ they worked fine and suddenly i had access to tons of new stuff. i’m not sure i’ll want to give it up even once the 0.B is released. hence the joke in my answer.

It’s only called “stable” because it’s not updated. It typically isn’t really better than the experimentals, due to old bugs being caught later that weren’t fixed by “Stable 0.A”. I’ve never had any game-ending crashes in experimentals, but then again not many of my characters last for many hours.
