We have updated the public release of Counter-Strike. This update contains all the changes from the recent beta, thanks to the whole community for their help with testing and suggesting new features.

Changes in this update are:
<ul><li>Added better detection for older GPU drivers and the functionality they support. This should fix the green bar or black screen rendering issues people have been seeing
<li>Added letterboxing of the game based upon your resolution option so the game maintains the correct aspect ratio based upon your resolution choice. If you choose a "Normal" (4:3) and play on a widescreen (16:9 or 16:10) monitor then we will now place black bars at the edge of the screen to keep the right aspect ratio. The same is true for widescreen options on 4:3 monitors. Put "-stretchaspect" in the games launch options in Steam if you wish to disable this behavior
<li>Report bomb position more frequently to T team members when dropped, fixes it appearing at the wrong location on the radar
<li>Added support for "-freq <X>" command line to set monitor frequency when running in fullscreen AND your monitor supports the frequency in question. If you don't have a CRT monitor chances are you can't use this option.
<li>Improved firing behavior in Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike:Condition Zero and Half-Life Deathmatch, it is no longer dependant on client or server frame rate. This change needs both your client and server updates to see the improvements.
<li>Strip trailing and leading whitespace on player names, and strip all styles of whitespace now unicode is supported
<li>Added logging of developer messages when using -condebug
<li>Added support for double clicking a demo to load when using the Load dialog for the viewdemo command
<li>Improve general dialog layout in the options UI
<li>Improved copy/paste functionality under Linux
<li>Cleaned up default keybindings
<li>Fixed defuse bar staying up across round restart if you died while defusing without the defuse kit
<li>Fixed corrupt texture when running older GPU's that incorrectly report support for non power-of-two textures
<li>Fixed the content lock dialog when running some video resolutions
<li>Fixed "snapshot" command when running certain video resolutions
<li>Force cl_bobcycle to be a minimum of 0.1 to prevent game exploits
<li>Fixed Half-Life flashing to black for a single frame on level change
<li>Fixed crash if you picked up a grenade in non-standard game styles
<li>Fixed some window size change events not passing through correctly
<li>Fixed white bar at the bottom of the screen and low FPS when running a 16-bit desktop under windows
<li>Fixed crash if you used the swapdemo command incorrectly
</ul>
