This is a follow-up build to 2367, and brings in the map changes that were decided on by the community over the last month.
There's a healthy mixture of conventional, competitive, and creative mapmaking that all fall within the bounds of the official map content; I'm happy to see a nice, diverse set of maps hit the public stage. Give them a play and be sure to show support for the maps you think are special! The specific mapcycle changes can be seen in the changelog, but a few things are worth pointing out:

• The cycle changes are for CTF only.
• Many maps were removed to make room for new maps and to help keep the cycle fresh.
• The cycle is still 44 maps long, so there's still probably some fat to cut if we want a lean cycle with seasonal updates.
• No maps have been deleted or removed from the files, so if you have a favourite to play with friends you can still run it on your own server without hassle.

You can read more about each map decision here, and the map team are always happy to take feedback (in that thread or here) - be sure to let them know if they've axed one of your faves, or (more importantly) if you love one of the new maps! There are also a few minor changes, fixes and contributions from github and internally. Most notably:

• Tips are fixed
• There's a work in progress Russian translation
• Buckets start off filled with 3 charges of water right out of the shop.

That leaves retouched emotes, more performance work and further improved translation support for the next build. Looking forward to it. Have Fun!
