Let's hope he updates the thing soon so we can get back to fragging. I literally walked through the door ready to TF2 it up and got hit with the update.
The good news is it did all this:
Source Engine:
- Fixed a bug in networking that would cause long stalls (up to 10
seconds) when a split packets weren't be reassembled properly, which
forced a full update to the client(s)
- General optimization to tracelines
- Fix for broken .dem file playback
- Added backward compatibility code to allow demos recorded with
protocol 12 to continue to be playable under protocol version 13
- When showing "WARNING: Connection Problem", now indicate the number of
seconds remaining before an auto-disconnect will occur
- Fixed a bug that would cause NULLNAME to be shown as the player's name
in the scoreboard for a short time.
Team Fortress 2:
- Fixed exploit where spectators could spawn into the world without
actually joining a team
Hydro map changes:
- Fixed an exploit that would allow players to jump out of the map
Granary map changes:
- Cover changes to the first capture points of both teams. Reduces some
of the sight lines for defenders, and should make the area easier to
capture
- Teams that are holding more points will receive a greater spawn time
bonus (spawn timer reduced for the winning team). This should help
attacking teams build momentum
- Minor visual tweaks to the BLU side between capture points 2 and 3
- Clipped off a super high (demo pipe jump) perch in the middle area
- Increased base round timer to 10 minutes
- Added windows overlooking the final cap from the capture point 2
building (via new room next to conveyor route)
- Minor changes to lighting in the middle area
- Moved the middle spawn points farther forward (saves 6-7 seconds off a
Heavy's run from this spawn to enemy capture point 2)
- Reduced spawn advantage/penalty to a total of -/+ 6 seconds when on
the final cap (from 10 seconds)
- Fixed material alignment and model interpenetration issues in home
spawn rocket rooms
SourceTV:
- Increased default bandwidth rate from 5 to 8 KB/sec for spectator
clients
- Increased SourceTV demo buffer size for table class descriptions from
64 to 96KB. Team Fortress 2 was running over this
- Performance improvement for copying unreliable data buffers to
SourceTV clients
- Updated the list of events in TF2 tagged for the director to play
