    I guess NetHack 3.6.7 was out a few days ago? I don't know why there was
    no announcement. I don't know what changes it has; waiting for the update for my OS.

    Maybe for some values of "a few days"..
    Direct quotation from https://www.nethack.org/v367/release.html :
    "The NetHack DevTeam is announcing the release of NetHack 3.6.7 on
    February 16, 2023"

    There weren't any changes to gameplay, just bugfixes (most notably
    fixing CVE-2023-24809, which was what prompted the release afaik).

    Wow, I didn't realize the Sourceforce page was still updated. I thought
    there had been a big exodus from there because it was bought by some
    shady company that was misusing the platform somehow (injecting adware
    into downloads or something like that?).

    Sort of funny how many of the "reviews" on there don't seem to be real
    (e.g. describe it as productivity or work software, say it "supports up
    to 2 processors", or otherwise don't include anything concrete or
    accurate about the game).

    NH always was (and still is) one of the most important programs in the portfolio of any /serious/ admin. ;-)
