* 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:
