[Mana 3,867]

No more loading server plugins clientside for free undetectable hacks? Hmm, we'll see.

Updates to Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source and Day of Defeat: Source have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

Source Engine Changes (CS:S, DoD:S, TF2)

Disabled clients loading server plug-ins unless the plug-ins are signed by Steam or the client is running in insecure mode.

Added a checkbox to the Options->Audio dialog to control muting the audio when the game window is in the background.

Counter-Strike: Source

Fixed crash in custom maps using the trigger_camera entity.

Team Fortress 2

Fixed another bug in the Steamworks internal stats reporting.

Updated the localization files.
