* Reworked how the Gift Wrap system works:
** Gift Wrap is now a free feature inside the game available to everyone.
** It can now be used with items that are temporarily untradeable (such as recent purchases), unless they have been previously Gift Wrapped.
** Hud Skins, Loading Screens, Wards, Announcers and Cursor Packs are now able to be Gift Wrapped.
** Players who have purchased Gift Wrap will receive some number of Treasure Redemption Tokens.
** Players who earned Gift Wrap by opening Treasure of the Nested Cache will receive some number of Treasures of the Nested Cache.
* Fixed various bugs in the Winter map.
* Fixed a recent change causing Chronosphere to affect invulnerable heroes when using abilities like Ball Lightning or Eul's Cyclone.

* Fixed a bug with a recent network optimization that could cause servers to crash. Abandons are never assessed when players are disconnected due to a server crash.

* Coaches and in lobby spectators can now view match details and replays of practice lobby games they participated in
* Fixed an issue where Mac OS X users could not connect to servers reliably.
* Fixed an issue where the first spectator watching a game could time out too early.
* Themed map preference option now available for 1v1, coop bot, and ranked matches.
* Themed map preference is now a soft matching parameter, not a hard compatibility requirement. In ranked, the standard map will be used unless all players have opted into the themed map. In all other modes, the map with the most votes wins, with ties going to the oldest account.
