Via HLDS and the Steam Community:
For everything else:
Valve- Updated content and features for the TF2 Competitive Mode beta
- For more information on how you can participate in testing, please visit https://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfcompetitive
- Fixed bots equipping the canteen in Mann vs. Machine mode
- Added new styles for the Dead of Night
- Updated materials/models for the Trickster's Turnout Gear, The Maniac's Manacles, The Spooky Sleeves, The Lone Survivor, The Killer's Kit, Beep Boy, Dead of Night, and the Employee of the Mmmph
For competitive matchmaking components:
Valve- Fixed a case where players would sometimes drop while connecting to a match server, and not trigger an abandon (resulting in 6v5, etc)
- Timing improvements in the Stats and Medals screen
- Fixed parties disbanding after clicking the new "Disconnect" button on the Stats and Medals screen
- Fixed various methods players used to escape spawn during the 10-second countdown
- Fixed broken countdown screen state when a player would abandon the game during the final countdown
- Fixed players seeing a benign "not connected to the game coordinator" message after leaving a match. (This did not affect match results)
- Added a TF2-specific "Report Player" system available while connected to a game server. Button located next to the "Call Vote" button on the main menu.
- Added round start UI elements
- Tuned rank progression so that it's easier to progress through lower ranks
- Fixed various issues that could occur whenever a player abandoned a match during the 10-second countdown
- The game server no longer checks for idle players during ready-up mode (also applies to MvM)
- Performance medal awarding logic now better scales with total match time
- Pyros now receive Support points whenever they airblast Invulnerable enemy players
- Added a "Global 100" leaderboard to the competitive matchmaking lobby screen
- Expanded the number of friends that can be visible in the Friends leaderboard
Rumor has it:
- Remember that pressing F7 allowed you to file a report? You no longer need to memorize that key, as syberspace_ of reddit points out a button for reporting players has been added to the menu while in a game (including outside of competitive)
- As it stands, the prompt seems to be quite bare in comparison to the prompt brought up on pressing F7:

- Four options exist at the moment, these are "cheating", "idle/AFK", "harassment", and "griefing"
- Unintended side effect: you can also try to get yourself VACcinated if you want to, as demonstrated in the above image
- As you might expect, an item schema update: http://git.optf2.com/schema-tracking/commit/?id=cf50d2792576b1477424cfe63d14266d8278a114&context=10
