[Shawn Zipay]

Another update has been rolled out to those testing out the Team Fortress 2 beta for Valve. This update is mandatory for server admins and clients.

Changelog for Team Fortress 2 beta for March 6, 2013

Team Fortress 2 Beta:
- Synced with latest changes from release game
- Moved several more files into VPK
- Further load time optimizations
- Basic implementation of sv_pure working using signed VPK files. See tf/cfg/pure_server_whitelist_base.txt for more details.
- VPK tool: Added RSA public/private key generation and signing functionality. (Only on Windows.)

Known issues:
- Clients mounting custom VPK’s might still get kicked when connecting to pure servers.
- RSA key signing not working on Windows version of VPK tool.
- Linux/OSX clients might fail to connect to pure server.

I'm a little confused about the VPK tool. Did they just add a feature that doesn't work? The RSA key signing is on both the features list and the known issues list. Or did they get the wrong OS listed?
