#1 CS:GO update for 7/26/18 (7/27/18 UTC) in CSGO General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ PANORAMA ]
– Added a button in scoreboard to view the server’s website. The URL of the server website must be specified in the motd file referenced by the motdfile cvar setting on the game server. Default server installation has the motdfile cvar setting configured as “motd.txt” which contains a default URL.

#1 CS:GO update for 6/12/18 (1.36.3.8) in CSGO General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[GAMEPLAY]
– Reduced base damage of the CZ75a from 33 to 31 (a single shot is no longer lethal against a helmeted opponent).
– Increased reserve ammo for the M4A1-S from 40 to 60, to provide some additional utility without impacting brief engagements.
– Reduced price of the MP7 from $1700 to $1500.

[MISC]
– Game servers will no longer print their public IP address in response to “status” command from clients.
– Unsealed graffiti items can now be deleted.
– Fixed a bug where looping sounds playing from dormant entities could play briefly before switching off.

[MAPS]
Mirage:

– Banked corner in hallway leading to A site scaffolding
– Removed ladder near entrance to apartments from T spawn, replaced with boxes

Canals:
– Redesigned T approach to B site through alley, with split entrances

– Other minor bug fixes and improvements

Rumor has it:

- /u/Ulmali put together an imgur album of today's Mirage changes, and also noticed that the skybox was opened to allow for throwing smokes between bombsites

- Looks like Valve's aware that we know that Panorama will be Happening® sooner rather than later in CS:GO and is waving a white surrender flag, as not only have numerous leaked strings from the Steam Translation Server made it into csgo_english, there is now also a new directory in the game's VPK structure containing all the map thumbnails in both 1080p and 360p resolution, under "/materials/panorama/images/map_icons/screenshots/"
- Some of you might be asking "wait, what's this Panorama thing everyone's talking about and so excited for?". Panorama is a UI framework developed in-house by Valve, which borrows concepts from both CSS and HTML. CS:GO currently uses Scaleform (another UI framework, developed by Autodesk), while both Steam's Big Picture Mode and Dota 2 use Panorama. Panorama is expected to bring many little quality of life improvements like eliminating microstutter between menus. You can read all about Panorama on the Valve Developer Wiki

#14 TF2 update for 6/7/18 in TF2 General Discussion
mastercomsThey also added some GDPR stuff to the protocol and added more rate limits internally (to prevent DoS attacks).

Yup, those likely-because-of-GDPR protobufs that were present in Dota 2 and Portal 2 (added minutes apart from each other, mind you) have made an appearance here too.
