Valve have released a mandatory update to TF2. The most interesting thing is a new Web API for TF2 items. Maybe time to create an Android app during the vacation?

- Added a warning dialog that pops up to warn players joining games with more than the recommended number of players.

- 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.
