From the release notes [nethack.org]: "After a 10+ year hiatus, the NetHack DevTeam is happy to announce the release of NetHack 3.6, a combination of the old and the new. Unlike previous releases, which focused on the general game fixes, this release consists of a series of foundational changes in the team, underlying infrastructure and changes to the approach to game development."

The update does break compatibility with old save games and bones files due to the extensive changes.

There went MY productivity for the foreseeable future.
