Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The specific changes include:
Maps
* Added new map, Pipeline. Pipeline is the first map in a new game mode named payload race, which uses two carts in each map instead of only one like traditional payload maps
* Added new arena map Sawmill
* Added new arena map Nucleus
* Added new community payload map Hoodoo
* Updated Dustbowl to fix not being able to jump into the window in the first building of the second stage
Sniper Changes
* Added new sniper rifle replacement, The Huntsman. Instead of a sniper rifle, you have a bow that allows you to move around faster while firing, and fire more quickly than the sniper rifle. Works better at medium range than the standard rifle
* Added new SMG replacement, Jarate. If thrown on an enemy they will take more damage for short period of time. Also extinguishes flames on yourself or allies
* Added new SMG replacement, The Razorback. Will protect you against a single spy backstab, and stun the spy for a short period of time. Comes with a 15% move speed penalty for the wearer
* Standard sniper rifle now shoots through friendly players
* Added 54 new Sniper voice lines
* Added 35 new Sniper achievements
Spy
* Added new revolver replacement, The Ambassador. First shot is very accurate and will cause a critical hit if it hits an enemy's head. Accuracy is poor for a period after that
* Added new watch replacement, the Dead Ringer. When armed, you will appear in all ways to die to the first damage you take from an enemy. You'll be cloaked for 8 second after taking this damage. Upon de-cloaking you'll make a loud, distinct sound
* Added new watch replacement, the Cloak and Dagger. Your cloak meter is only depleted when you move, so you can stay invisible indefinitely if you're standing still
* Spy name tags now show up properly when disguised as their own team
* Fixed a bug that would cause spectators to see disguise weapons incorrectly
* Fixed a bug where enemy spies disguised as friendly spies would have cigarettes that didn't burn
* Fixed a bug where overhealing disguised spies would show the wrong overhealing amount to the medic
* Made it more obvious on first person view model when your motion cloak is out of juice and you are partially visible
* Also made it more obvious on first person view model when you're bumped while cloaked
* Improved the way your disguise weapon is determined to make it clearer and fix a couple of rare issues
* Spies disguised as enemy spies now get a random mask to help complete the disguise, and their target id will be set appropriately

* Spies can now pick up health kits for their "disguise health", even when uninjured

Scoreboard changes
* Dominations no longer get wiped when teams switch sides
* Dead players draw slightly darker in scoreboard
* Converted class labels to class icons
* All players now display the total number of people they are dominating
General
* You now find new and old items as you play, instead of through achievements
* Fixed a bug that would cause the scout's ball to regenerate at inappropriate times
* Demomen can now detonate their stickies while taunting
* Flamethrower's air burst now extinguishes fire on friendly targets
* Grenades and rockets deflected by a pyro under the effects of Kritzkrieg will now be criticals
* The Heavy and Sniper now have new custom death animations
* Fixed payload HUD not updating properly if you join in the middle of a match and the cart isn't moving
* Engineer's dispensers now give 20%, 30%, or 40% of player's max_ammo (for each ammo type) on each use, based on the level of the dispenser
* Added -sillygibs commandline parameter which will allow the non-violent gibs to be enabled
* Added a new taunt for the Kritzkrieg, which also heals for 10 points
* Improved the deathcam camera handling used when a player plays a custom death animation
* Added missing chalkboard and serverbrowser images for community maps shipped in previous updates
* Removed "Final" from map names in the serverbrowser quick list
Servers
* Added "sv_allow_voice_from_file" convar, which defaults to 1. When set to 0, it'll prevent clients from using the "voice_inputfromfile" feature to broadcast wav files over voice
* Enabled "sv_allow_wait_command" convar, which defaults to 1. When set to 0, it'll prevent clients from using the "wait" command

Maybe some of you saw the 2 videos on YouTube on Sunday where this kid named Kenny abuses his cat named Dusty.
For those that do not know the story go here: http://www.kenny-glenn.net (but be aware that watching these videos is extremely disturbing)
The identity of this piece of shit has been found out meanwhile. There is a petition that I ask everybody who likes cats to sign up. It is a letter to the District Attorney to ask for a proper punishment for the abuse of the cat.
Please sign up here:
http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/justicetodusty
Please spread this message all around the web. Justice needs to be done.
