What officially changed

MAPS

Cache

Fixed various gaps in map.

Fixed a wallbang spot on B site.

Added a missing competitive CT spawn point.

Added additional T spawn points.

MAP SCRIPTING

Reworked CSPlayerCamera:

Renamed it to CustomPlayerCamera.

Added GetPlayer, GetMode, SetMode, and SetFollowConfig.

Deprecated IsEnabled, SetEnabled, and SetIsControllingAngles.

Added an 'observable' property to custom_hud_layout that controls whether an observer sees the UI as the spectated player sees it. Defaults to false.

Fixed several bugs related to stale custom_hud_layout state when changing spectator targets.

Added top-level custom_hud_layout classes driven by client state:

HUD_BUYMENU_VISIBLE

HUD_SCOREBOARD_VISIBLE

custom_hud_layout now always draws on top of the base HUD.

MISC

Chat is now encrypted in demo files using the same rules as CS:GO :

Team chat is no longer readable when playing back demo files.

Global chat is only readable in demo files when played back via the in-game watch UI.
