The scripting API sees significant updates with the CSPlayerCamera being renamed to CustomPlayerCamera and receiving new methods for better control. The custom_hud_layout system is now more robust, featuring new visibility classes for the buy menu and scoreboard, and a fix for stale states when spectating.

Privacy in demo files has been updated to match CS:GO's standards. Team chat is now encrypted and unreadable during playback, while global chat is restricted to the in-game watch UI.
