NetHack 3.7.0 work-in-progress is not a release of NetHack. As a .0 version,

Below you will find some other general notes on the changes in NetHack 3.7 that

were not considered spoilers:

- automatic annotation "gateway to Moloch's Sanctum" for vibrating square level

goes away once sanctum temple is found (entered or high altar mapped)

individual fields and save those fields instead of the entire struct

* Add support to make the game restartable without exit (a.k.a. "play again"

support). Toward that end, many previously scattered and separate variables

have been gathered into a central 'g' structure in decl.h/decl.c. That
