NetHack 3.6.3 work-in-progress -- General information
NetHack 3.6 is an enhancement to the dungeon exploration game NetHack,
which is a distant descendent of Rogue and Hack, and a direct descendent of
NetHack 3.4 as there was no NetHack 3.5 release.

and more than 20 enhancements. The file doc/fixes36.2 in the source
distribution has a full list of them. The text in there was written for the
development team's own use and is provided "as is", so please do not ask us
to further explain the entries in that file. Some entries might be considered
"spoilers", particularly in the "new features" section.

currently contains a collection of over 140 bug fixes to NetHack 3.6.3

* Performance optimizations with tty including the ability to do per field
updating
