Via the CS:GO blog:

MISC

When inspecting in game items from user's own inventory, from other users' inventories, and from Community Market, players can now see an official Item Certificate that includes Finish Style, Finish Catalog Number, Pattern Template, and Wear Rating.
Adjusted the nearby lobbies search algorithm, in addition to geographic proximity by distance, to include more results from the same country as the searching user, providing more relevant results for players living near borders.

MAPS

Canals

fixed gap in bomb site B wall
fixed missing texture in bridge visible from arch
fixed overlapping geometry at A site
fixed a few places near T spawn where bomb could get stuck
increased fade distances on some props that were distracting
adjusted wall geometry in prison stairs to fix lighting glitch
increased lightmap grid resolution in prison lobby
added a piece of cardboard under new toolbox at B to block glitchy sightline
removed one of the picnic tables at Short
fixed pixelwalk in shoe shop
fixed errant clip brush on balcony
made it more difficult to climb the wood sign to B from boost
trimmed top corners of courtyard building facing the stairs
fixed nav file where lamp posts were removed
adjusted balcony arch prop to fix gaps

Miltia

Moved up CT spawns and hostage rescue zone
Blocked off river and area around old CT spawn
Shortened underground tunnel, now exits into garage
New hostage spawn positions, removed position from small house in yard, hostages will always spawn one on upper floor and one on lower floor of main house/garage
Opened up house near silos, can now use door to enter/exit instead of window only
Added some cover near tunnel exit in yard
Moved terrorist spawn area to balcony at back of house
Added cover in long-range areas
Fixed several boosts/exploits
Smoothed out movement in general

Rumor has it:

Got bugs, or general feedback on Militia changes, Canals or something else? Head here to talk directly to Valve, select the CS:GO Team entry and share your thoughts - being constructive helps
Here's an example of an item certificate: http://i.imgur.com/xTQ6sWD.png
- You can view them by inspecting items, and then hovering over the icon in the lower right corner
- This is a solution meant to replace API functions that you may remember being discontinued last week due to excessive load that couldn't be solved anytime soon
Despite the larger than usual size, GameTracking is surprisingly light: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/commit/27dc8fdcdf66587665eab8cfef53f07b3d298eea
Most of the large size is from more shader updates (in \platform\shaders\fxc\), lightmappedgeneric_ps30.vcs on its own accounts for most of the size, clocking in at ~240 MB
Size is ~310 MB

Although I appreciate the increase in streaming quality on youtube because of the higher bitrate, It just isn't as fun as twitch.
Even though twitch chat is pretty cancerous at times, I feel as if the chat on youtube doesn't even react to the game going on. It's just an endless spam of 'pov draken', 'pov guardian' etc. etc.
So much of the fun of watching on twitch is seeing something amazing happen and looking at a chat full of pogchamps. I feel as if that spirit and fun is just lost on youtube and I would much rather be watching on twitch.
