Can I download this exact version?

[Bill]

I mean, I'll buy anyway as soon as it will be accessible.
Originally this game is free, the site is here: https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
The community is awesome, the number of variants and plugins is endless...
But I want to try this exact variant of DF.

Can I download it anywhere?

There is nowhere to download the current in-process development version (and despite my tag here, I don't have it either, more's the pity.)

Thank you for clarifying that you know all about the currently available offerings, no doubt saving pages of arguments! Enjoy this award for your trouble!

As one further semi-related question, is the game on "feature freeze" while the graphical version is being developed, or is there new content being added alongside the graphics?

There's an easy to play version available here. https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=7622

We had a small (but important) bugfix release at the end of January, and for many current players the graphical version includes many new features, but from a new player/outside view, it's probably safe to categorize it as a "feature freeze." There are some elements of fort mode military control and sieges that may get wrapped up into the initial release or soon after, though, and it's going to be hard for him to resist adding and fixing small things as he goes through putting together the new UI. As an example, currently a barrel is a barrel, empty, full of wine, full of fish, whatever, but we were told just yesterday that the tops of barrels will now reflect their content, which is a big deal in play, as is the recently shown ability to designate large areas of bedrooms with a click and drag.
