Yeah but they add those features everytime :cool:

does anybody else have the issue when using the arrow keys in 2d view, it goes black? basically shows empty space within the grid.

noticed last night that when I'm in vertex manip mode, I cannot use the arrow keys to scroll in the views. Haven't seen the problem Neutrino mentions exactly.

Model viewer takes a little longer to load i'm finding. :rolleyes:

yea izuno, that was pissing me off so much. i quit mapping for the night cause of it..

That means were going to see final releases of anvil etc?

Basically the SDK has come out of beta now I take it. Shame there still bugs in it though!!

Read here for the official list from Valve:

I like the new updates. Doesn't exactly run that fast, but Hammer is a lot more stable and hasn't crashed on me once yet.

Anyone find any major bugs that isn't widely know, please post.
