Every time a bug gets really annoying, it gets crushed within a few days, so gj VALVe there, I suppose some of these bugs would also annoy us if we realised they were there.

Highlights include:

• Engineers no longer score for traveling in their own teleporters (I actually saw someone that built entrance near exit, did nothing for a long time, and stopped only when he got 25 points.)
• Various fixes for stats not saving (That one really annoyed lots of people)
• Added nice freeze effect for the “jpeg” command

The full list of changes:

• Improved paged pool memory tracking
• Fixed crash on importing spray logo that claimed to be a valid jpeg file, but wasn’t
• Fixed Medic’s uber-charge stats tracking
