NetHack 3.6.4 -- General information December 5, 2019
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.
NetHack 3.6.3 is the official release of NetHack that follows NetHack 3.6.2.
It contains a collection of over 190 bug fixes to NetHack 3.6.2 and over 22
game enhancements and community contributions. The file doc/fixes36.3 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.
