Just wanted to make sure. Was this released an hour or two ago? I did a
reboot an hour or two ago, and now I can't run HLDM:S or any of the SDK
tools. My first thought was that a steam update got released and broke
something. That likelyhood is now my prime suspect :(.

This is both a game client and game server update for Source (read my
annoucement again where it tells you that you need to run Steam to
enable the beta client :)

Did this have anything to do with the client, the SDK, or Steam in
general?
Or is it a server side update only?

We have done another update to the Source Engine Dedicated server
beta.
This one is a BIG update, in particular we have added a pure server
mode
(can you say whoop?).

To get the beta run the hldsupdatetool with "-beta srcds0407". To test
the pure server functionality you also need to run the beta client,
you
do this by adding "-beta srcds0407" to your Steam command line.

This version also fixed several reported bugs when using
"sv_master_legacy_mode 0", please try it again if you found bugs with
this setting previously.


Detailed changes for this beta update are:

- 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"
/
"no bots" icon.
- Fixed servers with bots reporting incorrect number of bots when
sv_master_legacy_mode was set to 0.
- Fixed user names reported as "unconnected" when > 32k players had
connected to the server.
- Expanded the disconnect reason dialog.
- Make sv_contact FCVAR_NOTIFY
- Added a "cl_language" cvar that seeds itself from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Language.
- Added IServerGameClients::NetworkIDValidated
- Made maximum rate 1000Kb/s.

Pure Servers
============

Server can now force the client to match the server's files. If the
server sets sv_pure to 1, it'll load
pure_server_whitelist.txt from the game path, which specifies sets of
files that are allowed to come from
Steam, allowed to come from disk, and require CRC checks.

When the client connects to a server and receives the whitelist, it
reloads resources that may be "dirty"
(like the client loaded the file off disk but the server only allows
the file to come from Steam).

The server can set sv_pure_trace to show which files clients are
requesting CRCs for.
By default, the server will just show a warning when a client has a
mismatched file. If they set
sv_pure_kick_clients to 1, then the server will kick clients that have
mismatching files.

There is an update to the beta. Run the update tool again with the
beta
parameter ("-beta srcds0407") to get the update.

This update fixes the lagging problem seen earlier in the week when
certain backend services are unavailable.

This update addresses some lag issues that have been seen when
running
the Source Engine (in particular, it programmatically does something
similar to using the net_queuesplits cvar).
