The release of NetHack 3.4.3 in December 2003 marked the beginning of a
|
||||
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
|
||||
Derek S. Ray, unnethack by Patric Mueller, nitrohack and its successors
|
||||
originally by Daniel Thaler and then by Alex Smith, and
|
||||
Dynahack by Tung Nguyen. Some of those variants continue to be developed,
|
||||
maintained, and enjoyed by the community to this day.

In September 2014, an interim snapshot of the code under development was
|
||||
released publicly by other parties. Since that code was a work-in-progress
|
||||
and had not gone through a period of debugging, it was decided that the
|
||||
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.

This version of the game is special in a particular way. Near the end of

the development of 3.6, one of the significant inspirations for many of the

humorous and fun features found in the game, author {\it Terry Pratchett},
|

passed away. This version of the game is dedicated to him.

\nd The devteam would like to give a special "shout-out" to thank the generous
|

people primarily responsible for the public NetHack servers available for
|
||||
playing the game at nethack.alt.org and devnull.net. In addition to providing
|
||||
a way for the public to play a game of NetHack from almost anywhere, they
|

have hosted annual NetHack tournaments for many, many years.
