* added Dod_Palermo, updated map based on Dod_Salerno by Insta
* added Steamworks features, including achievements and player avatars
* added Nemesis and Revenge
* added Freeze Cam
* friendly players no longer collide with each other
* many particle systems have been improved
* changed the algorithm for bullet spread to be more like the original Day of Defeat
* reduced Garand recoil
* View position is now adjusted when zoomed with rifles and sniper rifles to help with player visibility around corners
Planned changes not in this update
* Per-player stats linked to Steam Community
* many map exploit fixes
There is a BETA planned for this update that will undoubtedly see a number of smaller updates along the road. All owners of Day of Defeat: Source will be able to partake in this BETA once it goes live.
For server administrators, a member of the HLDS mailing list has noticed that a "dodsbeta" option is now available. You might be able to get a jump on getting your DoD:S BETA server up before the client BETA goes live. And yes, this will bring Day of Defeat: Source onto the Orange Box engine, if the install directory for the server is any indication.
