What happened to version 4? Looks like last release was 3.6.7.

Possibly to avoid conflicts with Nethack4[0], which was a fork of the Nethack 3.x series back when development was stalled. I think the guy behind it later joined the main Nethack dev team.

There is a variant named NetHack 4, they might want to avoid confusion with it.
