Updates to Team Fortress 2 have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Server Browser
Server browser now starts centered onscreen when it opens up.
Filter panel now starts expanded, instead of hidden.
Added a warning dialog that pops up to warn players joining games with more than the recommended number of players.
Added a "max player count" filter setting.
Renamed quick list checkbox from "Show Map List" to "Simplified List".
Mouseover the checkbox now explains the simplified list in the status bar.
Quicklist now shows the number of other servers running each map.
Fixed a couple of bugs related to toggling the quick list, which were resulting in you needing to refresh again.

Team Fortress 2
Added missing earbud particles for DX8 players.
Added new ConVar mp_windifference_min to be used with mp_windifference.
Added Engineer to the list of classes that can equip Max's Pistol.
Rebuilt sound cache files that were out of date.
Source TV:
Fixed unlockable items not being visible.
Stopped "player is carrying X" messages looping forever.
Fixed overhealed particle effect being visible on your current view target when in first-person spectator mode.
Changed in-game button colors to be less eyepoppingly bright.
Improved Steam Web APIs for TF2 items (see http://www.teamfortress.com/)

Engine
Fixed some graphical issues when alt-tabbing during a game.
Fixed bullet penetration problems with Linux dedicated server.
Removed an exploit that allowed people to change their names to something other than their Steam profile name

Interesting.

The picture looks like a bad photoshop, though, which i'm assuming it is.

I like the way they are warning against 32 player server. That is a nice touch.

I suppose the golden Wrench is an unique item for the polycount contest winner.

Also this might be a fake, but some users state that this is a hidden texture:

Can anyone confirm?

It's real and there's more secret messages in it. Portal 2 here we go again!

EDIT: Deciphered as "Clearly this is more space than needed. I wonder what else was here." What's the next step? Clearly, examine the image for more hidden secrets/metadata!

Edit: Okay, I looked for it in my tf2 folder and cfg files but I can't seem to find it. Maybe it's not real?

Edit 2: Then again, looking around, it seems everyone believes it's real. Hrm.

Edit 3: Kay, found it. It's real.

I have deciphered the writing on the images. using the url on the second image, I typed in the writing at the top, and used "saxtonhale" as the key.

You're late to the party. Alpha Crypt isn't the only alpha that image has.

By applying it's alpha channel you get the kill icon of this new weapon.

Messing around in GCFScape I've found a bit of stuff in the GCFs regarding golden wrenches ... several new materials in the "materials" file, and something called "notify_golden_wrench.res" in the main content file. The golden wrench loadout icon is also in the material file, as is what I think is the gold player-statue texture seen in the YouTube demonstrations.

Interestingly, the texture file called "gold_wrench" appears to just be the basic wrench texture when loaded in VTFEdit ... does something have to be changed to make it appear gold here, or is the gold color somehow only added in-game, or what?
