A highly anticipated update to the SDK is now underway as a public BETA. This update brings a number of notable features to the table, including the ability to build mods off of the Episode 2 engine, a 3D ray-traced lighting preview mode in Hammer, and the ability to create custom scenes in Orange Box titles.
If you're a mod author, or just want to fool around with the new tools, add "-beta srcsdk0122" (sans the quotes) to your command line for Steam before you start. Remember that this is a BETA and should be treated as such. If you come across any bugs or errors, make use of the Bugzilla bug reporting feature at the developer Wiki.
