[ANN] UnNetHack 3.6.1 released

[Patric Mueller]

Announcing the 3.6.1 release of UnNetHack.

Source code, Debian package and Windows TTY and GUI executables can be
downloaded here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unnethack/files/unnethack/3.6.1/

The Windows version has now a Console and GUI executable included and
HTML dumps enabled.

The most prominent gameplay improvement is probably the removal of utter
destruction effect of a bag of holding explosion (originally from
SporkHack). Instead of destroying the complete content of the bag of
holding its content gets scattered around. Of course there's still the
possibility that something breaks when it hits the floor. [:-)]

This release is save and bones compatible with 3.6.0.
