Most of our admin plugin features will be broken until the Sourcemod/Metamod team can get an update out. This affects our TF2 and DODS servers.

And in addition to those changes, we have made large changes in the Linux engine, moving to a newer compiler, adding multiple GCC specific optimizations and changing the filesystem layout for binaries to match more closely to other platforms builds.

These changes have a few consequences you should be aware of. We have increased the minimum glibc version to 2.3.6, our survey shows that over 95% of you already have newer glibc's so this shouldn't generally be an issue. The new compiler and optimizations has also changed the binary format, if you are using tools that do binary patches into our engine (SourceMod and the like) then these will no longer function, the authors of those products will need to provide updates to get them working again. We have also increased our usage of threads and mutex constructs, if you see hangs or deadlocks on your server (when you didn't before) a gdb backtrace of the process will help us pin down problem.

Linux gets optimizations? I guess a bunch of server admins just sold their souls to the devil in order to get this (Also Mac support helped).

EDIT:
In addition, it might take a little while for the servers to update. Valve's content servers are on dialup:

Thank you for letting us know.
Will there be extensions for the downtime for donators?
Never mind.
I see you have already fixed them.

Thank you.

Today's update broke benefits as well.
EDIT:
DS (Sourcemod dev): Yes, I just updated our SDK a few minutes ago. Should be new snapshots coming up soon.

EDIT2:
If all goes well most things should be back and working in about an hour.

EDIT3:
Our Linux servers should be coming back with the plugins. Windows servers will follow shortly

EDIT4:
All servers and plugins should now be loaded, and donator benefits should be coming back.
