John Schoenick sent this email to the hlds list just now.
Essentially:
- Servers have new system requirements, particularly for linux
- New compiler versions/settings are being used which is expected to break mods that do low-level shit like hook functions, like sourcemod
- There's a beta available now. The new server serves both release and beta clients
hopefully sourcemod will be updated before the update goes live (potentially in a week) and it won't impact users too much. don't update to the beta branch unless you wanna test a mod, which you shouldnt bother with until sourcemod gets updated
if you own a server, test your mods n shit when they get updated

[b]TF2 BETA BRANCH BOIS [/b]
Important bit:
"These changes may be promoted to an official release of TF2 as soon as next week"
I wouldn't be surprised if the Beta branch only meant stuff related to the new toolchain/server stuff.
EDIT: After reading this, it seems fairly obvious that the Beta branch will be used to test the new toolchains and not changes to gameplay.

beta branch
http://steamcommunity.com/app/440/discussions/0/135509472115112472/
beta branch apparenty gives slightly better fps
there shouldnt be any noticeable changes anywhere else

They're doing something that will break most plugins and mods in a big way, and may introduce bugs and weird behaviour unpredictably. But instead of just releasing it and shafting everyone they're actually giving us a heads upso the impact isn't too bad. Worth testing competitive mode to see if there's anything wonky

We did some testing, logs.tf will log to a certain extent but has various issues including combined logs and logging stopped midway.
Hope SourceMod will be updated soon.

So is there anything new in the beta branches? other than some server mods malfunctioning?
