  • Last argument of util.IsOBBIntersectingOBB is now optional
  • Try to prevent static prop lightmap crashes when given invalid data
  • Panel.PaintAt restores zpos of the panel
  • Clamp physics forces phys_torque applies to prevent crashes/crazy physics
  • Duplicator saves and restores sub materials by default
  • Restored nav_generate progress dialog UI
  • Move OnRequestFullUpdate warning to developer 1 so it is not as spammy
  • Matched behavior of SteamID functions for bots between clientside and serverside
  • Made Player:SteamID64 and Player:AccountID never return no value
  • Error no halt when player.CreateNextBot would crash due to being ran too early
  • Remove limits when reading SteamHTTP response headers
  • Entity.IsMarkedForDeletion now checks Entity.Remove queue, so its output is now more correct

  • Added more NPCs categorized as hostile and friendly towards players (IsFriendEntityName global) (Community Contribution)
  • Added Versus Saxton Hale map category from recent TF2 update (Community Contribution)
  • TTT: Disable notification sound by default and add a setting for it (Community Contribution)
  • Various code cleanups (Community Contribution)

  • steamworks.GetList "days" parameter is functional again

  • Added missing dependencies for linux client for distributions that are missing them
  • CNavArea:SetParent can now accept nil as first argument
