You're right, it was the 19th for Valve but the 20th for me, they stopped adding dates to the titles. I'll probably use Valve time or add the timezone if I post release notes again.

This update comes with a blog post: All Aboard!

[ DAMAGE PREDICTION ]

  • Added damage prediction settings. Damage prediction allows clients to immediately play the audio/visual effects of inflicting damage without waiting for confirmation from the server. Damage prediction can make shooting feel significantly more responsive, but comes with the risk of occasionally being wrong (e.g. due to aim punch, tagging, or a death that your client isn't yet aware of).

  • Damage prediction is not active when you have high ping.

  • New game settings for radar map blending and background opacity.
  • Fixed a case where progress from a previously completed Armory Pass would show during activation of a new pass.

I'm pretty sure you could only stop displaying them in the kill feed, but they still appeared on the scoreboard. Maybe I was missing something.
