NetHack 3.6.2 is the 32nd public release of NetHack. It was announced released 9 May 2019. It primarily contains a number of bug fixes for NetHack 3.6.1 with minimal gameplay or interface changes.

Availability

NetHack 3.6.2 is available from the official NetHack website, and continuing the practice from 3.6.1, the Git repository of the source code is available to browse on GitHub. From this repository, anyone can download and build a copy of 3.6.2.

Online play

NetHack 3.6.2 official public release can be played online at NAO, with the option to copy over your rc config file from 3.6.1 to 3.6.2. The Hardfought build (362-hdf) is also up to date and inline with the official 3.6.2 release (last build Sat May 11 14:18:55 2019 UTC - git commit c631c3d). As like NAO, Hardfought players can also copy over their older 362-hdf rc config file over to the latest release.

Significant changes

New features

• Orcish characters can no longer start with lembas or cram rations as their random food items.
• Vault guards now carry cursed tin whistles, so that the "shrill whistling sound" an escaping player hears has a source.
• Eating spinach while having sustain ability no longer makes you feel like Popeye.
• Gold created with a grave is now buried under the grave instead of left on top of it.
• Several tweaks to status hilites, including full support of <= and >= operators. < and > now mean "strictly less than" and "strictly greater than", which they did not previously.
• Curses window-port added for Windows, Mac and UNIX.

Bug fixes

• Game no longer complains about the config file not ending in a newline, and will actually parse the last line.
• Make the spells of healing and extra healing consistent when cast at monsters.
• Make petrified and random statues behave consistently when stone-to-fleshed.
• Verbal messages for charming and seduction no longer print while the character is deaf.
• The #turn command, if it aggravated monsters, no longer takes zero turns.
• A number of fixes to address lag and performance problems in the Windows tty port.
