Changelogs in a nutshell:

We've improved the code.
New code sucks, going back to old code.

Frames dip when a cloaking/decloaking spy is on screen. Is this a config issue or an issue with hardware? Can this problem only be solved by upgrading specs?

Playing in directx 98, low preset with a few things set to very_low,. The bug seems to happen in that part of the spawn area. When I walk away, the lighting seems to return to normal, and back to dark when I return. Switching to dx8 fixed the problem.

Any reason why the lighting bugs out like this? https://imgur.com/a/o1oGP1m

You thought he was the dumbo but it was you who is the dumbo the whole time, wow.

Is there a github where you're saving these new versions of mastercomfig? I'd like to see up to date documentation on version 8.

Alright nevermind then. So what does "gamematerial" do?

Surfaceproperties.txt from the "No Footsteps" addon doesn't disable the "dust/bullet impact" particles when shooting at walls. I downloaded JarateKing's cleantf2 surfaceproperties.txt and the only thing that's different from his file and yours is that his "gamematerial" is a "-" and your "gamematerial" is a "C". Is this intentional? If not, could it be added into your config?

Any idea why this fog gets more aggressive along the video? I turned off weather effects and lowered particles to their minimum.

How does one add Toonhud's mouse and keyboard controls to the default hud when in the class loadout screen?

Only in the launch options. Here's a screenshot thought I doubt it'll help.

Before 6.12.1, bugs like the %activepipes% label were fixed when you added game_override_once into the config. Now it seems to no longer work, as %activepipes% and other bugs have reappeared.

My user autoexec is not from your autoexec template, so none of the massive list of commands was changed between versions.

The game_override_once command that executes hud_reloadscheme once doesn't seem to work with the new version. After you added game_override_once, certain aspects of the hud would be fixed, like %killername%, %numpipes%, etc, but as of version 6.12.1, those problems reintroduced themselves. Plus, "Unknown Command: none" still shows up in the console, if that matters.

I've been running some benchmarks using higher lighting settings.

r_ambientboost 1
r_ambientmin 1.1
r_rimlight 1
r_worldlightmin 0.0002
r_worldlights 2

It surprised me that my framerate was nearly the same for all my tests, with the exception of world lights (maybe). Perhaps migrating these settings to the low preset could be beneficial since lighting affects gameplay more than other stuff like gibs or shadows.

Ragdolls, gibs, and shadows should be off by default with the low preset.
