* Upgraded Steamworks SDK to v1.29
* Fixed mod compatibility problem with Multiplayer Base that was introduced in September.
* In Hammer, while using the Vertex Tool, pressing CTRL+B will snap selected vertices to the grid.
Virtual Reality:
* Mods that support virtual reality now need to have a line in gameinfo.txt that says “supportsvr 1”. This indicates to gameui and engine that certain UI should be enabled.
* VR-enabled mods will now start up in VR mode when launched from Steam’s VR mode.
Windows:
* Upgraded to Visual Studio 2013. If you need to build projects for VS 2010, add /2010 to your VPC command line.
OSX:
* Upgraded to XCode 5.
* Adds support for Visual Studio 2012 and 2013
* VR Mode:
. Switches from headtrack.dll to sourcevr.dll
. Improved readability of the UI in VR
. Removed the IPD calibration tool. TF2 will now obey the Oculus
configuration file. Use the Oculus calibration tool in your SDK or
install and run "OpenVR" under Tools in Steam to calibrate your IPD.
. Added dropdown to enable VR mode in the Video options. Removed the -vr
command line option.
. Added the ability to switch in and out of VR mode without quitting the
game
. By default VR mode will run full screen. To switch back to a
borderless window set the vr_force_windowed convar.
. Added support for VR mode on Linux
* Many assorted bug fixes and other changes from Team Fortress in
various shared files
