Steam News has word of a new automatic update for Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike: Source and Day of Defeat: Source. The new version has three techie changes and fixes, which follow.

Optimizations to multi-core rendering
Removed -heapsize command line argument. Some detail: This command made sense in Half-Life 1’s memory manager. The current engine manages memory in a way that doesn’t need it specified. Under some circumstances, specifying a non-optimal heapsize causes crashes and/or reduced performance
Fixed an exploit that allowed people to send fake VAC messages to clients
