Updates to the Source Engine are now available. Previously this was in Beta, behind srcds0407. Please run hldsupdatetool to receive this update. The specific changes include:
Pure Servers: Servers can now force the client to match the server's files, by becoming a pure server. When a server enables sv_pure, clients who connect and play on the server cannot gain an advantage by modifying the game content. For more information about Pure Servers, click here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Pure_Servers. Source Engine: - In-game server browser only shows human players in the player counts column. Bots column now shows number of bots instead of a "some bots" or "no bots" icon - Fixed servers with bots reporting incorrect number of bots when sv_master_legacy_mode is set to 0 - Fixed a server performance problem with queued packets - Increased the maximum rate to 1 megabyte - Added a findflags console command, which can list all cvars with a specified flag. For example: 'findflags server_can_execute' will find all console variables and commands marked with FCVAR_SERVER_CAN_EXECUTE - Cheat protected many cvars and commands - Removed cl_restrict_server_commands to prevent clients from being redirected - Fixed user names reported as "unconnected" when greater than 32k players had connected to the server - Fixed a client crash during authentication - Fixed a crash when mashing the ~ key on disconnect - Fixed a bug with sv_minrate and sv_maxrate not applying properly on the client - Fixed the free roaming camera in SourceTV demos - Fixed cl_language archiving itself and not updating correctly when the language changed - Fixed a voice recording bug that could cause voice dropouts - Fixed a rare crash when spectating in Counter-Strike: Source We'd also ask that everyone please set sv_master_legacy_mode 0 again and report any problems.
