0000326: Missing entries in announcements.txt
In announcement.txt, there's an entry for the arrival of the caravans, but not for leaving, and most importantly, for almost leaving.
More of a missing feature than a bug, but it's the single most important message that needs pausing when running DF in the background.

ArPharazon reports some other missing announcements: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=99625.msg2931355#msg2931355 [^]
That reminds me: There are certain common announcements, especially job cancels, which should be zoomable to but aren't. Examples are:
- Urist has created a masterpiece.
- Urist has become a recruit.

Announcements for nobles' production mandates transitioning from gold to yellow and from yellow to red would be nice as well.
