UTIL_GetLocalPlayer micro optimizations
•
UTIL_FindClientInPVS now tries to get the closest client
•
Changed "exe version" to "network version" in output of "version" console command to avoid confusion

Micro optimization for GM:HUDDrawTargetID (Community Contribution)
•
Enable Episode 2 behavior for npc_combine_s (Some sort of "march" mode)

Clean-up doubleclicking code in the main menu (Community Contribution)
•
Internal rework of main menu's bottom bar (Community Contribution)
•
Make zombies/metrocops propagate their "use lag compensation" state to spawned child NPCs (headcrabs and manhacks)

•
Add description to g_ragdoll_maxcount convar, update descriptions for gm_snapangles and gm_snapgrid
•
Give prop_active_gib* convars descriptions and more sane values - 100 active gibs should be plenty (was 999999)
•
Add a better crash message when getting vertex size 0 to help catch source of the crash
•
Alias dz_door (CS:GO danger zone map doors) to prop_door_rotating

Improved several console warnings and crash popups with extra information to help diagnose the underlying issues
•
Improved .nav file error handling to prevent game crashes and freezes, as well as error reporting

Do not save or load mat_specular/mat_bumpmap convars across game sessions - These are debugging convars, they do not need to save and cause persistent visual downgrade with no video options enabling them back.

Increase max lightmap dimensions to 128 for brushes (from 32)
•
Renamed npc_tf2_ghost to nb_example, and moved it from base gamemode to Sandbox
•

•
Potentially improved console variable related performance
•

Clear "material is missing" flag on all materials when a map is started loading

Adjusted formatting of lua_dumptimers commands so its easier to read
•
Updated gmod_physiterations description to specifically mention constraints

Default presets in Utilities tab dynamically load convar defaults instead of being hardcoded
