I use macOS, so I was curious. The official build is up to 5.0.0 but nobody’s managed to get it running on Mac past 3.6.0 or 3.6.6. Which is kinda weird. But I’m not in that big of a hurry to play it.
Not sure, but we may be talking about different programs. BSDgames’ hack doesn’t seem to have a version number that I can find. There’s nothing in the changelog, and the command doesn’t have anything like a -v/--version command line switch
In fact, the closest to any kind of versioning that I can find are dates in the year 1985, both in the man page as well as in the strings in the executable itself.
The bsdgames package itself has a version number, but that doesn’t strictly apply to the games themselves. (Especially since that’s 2.17-35 for me on LMDE, which is nothing like the numbers you gave.)
The program shouldn’t be any more than internal logic and terminal calls anyway, so I can’t imagine it would be difficult to patch, so either we are talking about different programs, or it’s not considered important enough to repair.

Pretty sure that’s for NetHack, not Hack.
