Via HLDS:
Valve- Fixed the datacenter display in matchmaking settings occasionally being blank
- Fixed several client crashes
- Updated/Added some tournament medals
- Updated the localization files
Rumor has it:
- Added and updated tournament medals include: LBTF2 Highlander Open and Main, two styles for the Memes vs. Machines medals, a renaming of the 1st/2nd/3rd Place TFArena 6v6 medals to Gold/Silver/Bronze (1st/2nd/3rd are now in their descriptions instead) as well as a Participant and Helper medal, Cap that Cup, EuroLander Premier, Main, and Open, Classic MGE Cup, Late Night TF2 Cup, and EBL
- /u/Gamecube762 took some screenshots of the Memes vs Machines medal styles, but as you might notice they're broken right now:

Notable change: it seems like they added the Steam game networking sockets which is the tech they made for CSGO/DOTA2 in order to minimize the effect of DDoS on official servers. I'm not exactly sure how to check if Valve servers are actually using them now though.
Related talk, the solution is explained at minute 25

tl;dr: (supposedly) when playing Casual/Comp, you connect to a local relay, game data passes through their network infrastructure to reduce latency by limiting routing issues, server are not exposed to the entire internet so they cannot be taken down through attacks, DDoS is greatly mitigated because their only attack surface would be to target relays, which are very cheap to spun up again and get players back in

The Steam Datagram system has been implemented in TF2 for a little while now.

Yes, and they're the ancestor of ISteamNetworkingSockets and also weren't as featureful
