We've just released an update to both the client and the server today. Servers and clients will both need to update as the changes are not compatible between versions, and older servers will be de-listed from the server list. Here's the list of changes:
Client
- set bot_minplayers to 0 in training to prevent bots from showing up in crash course
- don't play sounds that are outside of the player's PVS even if they are included in the snapshot. this should remove extra sounds when spectating someone, and the ability to hear teammates but not enemies. behavior can be changed through s_pvs
- tag search is now case-insensitive
- leading and trailing whitespace is now stripped from tags in the browser
- de-duplicate server tags in the browser
- prevent stats from carrying over on aborted or training matches
- automatically focus the text input on the password dialog box
Server
- include mappool_ffa.txt
- include steam id in /status output
- set sv_includeCurrentMapInVote to 1 to always place the current map in the 3 map vote
- initialize steam gameserver after configs get read, should fix net_port issues with master server
- factories support a "tags" array, which can contain up to 8 strings to automatically be added to the server's tags
- add descriptive error messages when dropping a client due to a steam auth error
Game:
- fix resource hog achievement in non-team modes

December 17:
We've had to re-ship the update to fix the broken lighting in Deep Inside, and default off the sound change since it appeared to be causing stuttering sound for some non-default sound configurations. Servers will have to be updated again, we're sorry for the inconvenience.
- fixed lighting on deepinside
- default s_pvs to 0, since it could still be useful for streamers
- don't kick for steam auth error 6 (issuer cancelled auth ticket)
- sv_fps wasn't fully set as CVAR_ROM, should be locked for real now
- force center weapon bar for dead ca players
- cg_voiceChatIndicator 2 to draw it on the left side in the event that you place your weaponbar on the right
