@@ -4,13 +4,27 @@ NetHack 3.7 is an enhancement to the dungeon exploration game NetHack,
which is a distant descendent of Rogue and Hack, and a direct descendent of
NetHack 3.6.
NetHack 3.7.0 work-in-progress is not an official release of NetHack. It
currently contains a number of enhancements to NetHack 3.6.3. The file
doc/fixes37.0 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.
NetHack 3.7.0 work-in-progress is not a release of NetHack. As a .0 version,
and still very early in its development cycle, it is quite likely that there
has been, and will continue to be, quite a number of code changes and/or code
additions. The code may involve new approaches to things and may may add many
new features and changes in the weeks and months ahead, and it may alter
existing behavior.
In short -- there are likely to be bugs. Don't treat NetHack-3.7 branch as
released code, and if stability is paramount, then the most recent
NetHack 3.6.3 release is probably safest for you.
We're making the .0 work-in-progress available so that you can observe its
development, test it out, and contribute to its development. Constructive
suggestions, GitHub pull requests, and bug reports are all welcome.
The file doc/fixes37.0 in the source distribution has a full list of bug-fixes
included so far, as well as brief mentions of some of the other code changes.
The text in there was written for the development team's own use and is

Along with the game improvements and bug fixes, NetHack 3.7 strives to make
some general architectural improvements to the game or to its building
