All engines, including the newer NetHack 3.6.6 will benefit from several updates to Vulture itself mainly around stability with all known causes of crashes now (hopefully) removed and a thing of the past.
addedNetHack 3.6.6Important notes: In order to make this project easier to maintain in the future, a few file structures have been altered and moved around. If you want to continue playing NetHack 3.4.3 or Slash'EM 0.0.7E7F2 games with your existing bones and/or savegames you will need to move those bones and savegame files into the new location under "Variants" within the Vulture for NetHack game installation folder. Also, if you have some saves or bones files from the previous NetHack 3.6.0 beta these should, for the most part, be compatible with NetHack 3.6.6 and there's a good chance you could continue where you left off.
