long release hiatus. 3.4.3 proved to be a remarkably stable version that

provided continued enjoyment by the community for more than a decade. The

devteam slowly and quietly continued to work on the game behind the scenes

during the tenure of 3.4.3. It was during that same period that several new

variants emerged within the NetHack community. Notably sporkhack by

\fBDerek S. Ray\fP, unnethack by \fBPatric Mueller\fP, nitrohack and its

successors originally by \fBDaniel Thaler\fP and then by \fBAlex Smith\fP,

version numbers present on that code snapshot would be retired and never
|
||||
used in an official NetHack release. An announcement was posted on the
|
||||
devteam's official nethack.org website to that effect, stating that there

would never be a 3.4.4, 3.5, or 3.5.0 official release version.
