Nice to see an update, I did expect to see a new block underground, you know what I mean.
Though I am really expecting to see some rounded edges for blocks? and something that resembles stairs, would you that that for us?

I was really hoping for a fix to Alt key and mousepointer. Sure you can bind Alt now but since it destroys any input its useless and for multiscreenusers the pointer is really really really annoying. The guy who decided it was a good idea to force a mousepointer to all non-active players should be taken away any decisionmaking.
Right now the game forces me to turn one screen of since it just don't grab pointer fully. This results in resolutionchanges, screenrestarts as soon as I get killed basically. It so obviously wrong to have it coded this way I really expected a fix.
And what's up with the dropdown in Elite? When you press tab to check scores a huge dropdown with score starts. At least make it vanish as soon as you release tab. As it works now you can make the shortest of tab pushes and then you still have to live with that huge viewblocking thing for what feel like ages.
--EDIT--
About the dropdown. I take it its intended to help to show scores and such on streams but please just remove it for any players. The automatic showing of the dropdown between turns is more then enough.

^ This.
Along with any changes to interface reverting to default crosshair and size, going from player to spectator on a server with password often gives you an error when trying to resume playing saying "cannot join, wrong password" (or something similiar).
Not to mention that the crosshair is a bit off compared to laser (or the other way around ofcourse). I was just made aware of this, and I have to do some more research into this before I can give a well enoug bugreport about this so you'd understand.
Anyway, this video should be seen by whoever is responsible for making maps for you guys (PapyChampy?) -

The goal here was to use all the blocks in the maps for the release. I didn't specifically tried to forbid players going higher, and was more focused of getting rid of the grills and general looks of the maps. And I still don't get why updating maps is such as bad thing.
You took this as a challenge, kudos to you, you made it. Just be aware not to sound too cocky about it.

It would be great to get people loaded off that at our party tonight if they aren't able to get it before, so we conserve bandwidth.
I don't want to download it from the player site until I know it's the latest build.
Thanks in advance!

Since I didn't see an answer, I decided to just try it.
Looks like it is today's build.
AND... it downloads WAY faster than the in-game update, for what it's worth.
Just sayin'!

combo mode:
- Press F6 to start looking for a match
*You & Player will be redirected. Press F6 to cancel.*
I press F6 and get banned

...
Getting banned is not cancelling rofl.

! Please fix this.
And the reason why i pressed F6 was because I wasnt matched with my alley

please do NOT remove the new cam 2 in any further update! there are a lot of people who don't like it but also a lot of people who do like it.
Instead, simply add the old cam 2 to the game as a 4th game. That would be the smartest solution and everyone would be happy.
Pls everyone make sure Hylis reads this...
