We have released a Beta update for Counter-Strike 1.6.
Changes in this update are:
<ul><li> Added new "-mousethread" command line option, if set we poll the mouse position in another thread running at 100hz by default, to get better movement accuracy. Set the "m_mousethread_sleep" cvar to the number of seconds to sleep between mouse polls to change this rate
<li>Added "cl_filterstuffcmd" cvar, when set to 1 this enables stricter checking of commands the game server can execute on your client
<li>When m_customaccel is set scale mouse sensitivity when zoomed in, this now matches the path when not using custom accel
<li>Make the spray list alphabetical order and enforce unique entries
<li>Set the update rate to 102 if we are clamping to its max value
<li>Fixed MOTD context menu to have localization strings for available options and for make back/forward work
<li>Fixed screenshot and snapshot when running in "-nofbo" mode
</ul>

Fixes and Optimization
- Fixed a small difference in vertical positioning of gun interaction boxes between client and server (previously you could get kicked off the gun unexpectedly in edge cases)
- Projectiles that detonate due to damage no longer cause friendly fire.
- Spectators: Opening the menu in spectator mode no longer resets your position
- Spectators: Fixed interest management issue that could cause guns or engines to disappear from ships near the edge of the map or in cloud cover.
- Optimized most level and ship assets to reduce vert count, texture size, and draw count where possible. Should improve frame rate, particularly on low-end machines.
