It's been a little over three years since we released rc7, and a year ago since work started on rc8. Working on such a big map is no easy task, and having to replay it all everytime we think we're done updating it hasn't been a cakewalk either. We'd like to extend our gratitude to all of those playtesters who were willing to go over every nook and cranny to make sure everything was ready for release. If we didn't catch everything you should report your findings in our discords #feedback channel though!
There's way too many changes to list them all here so I'll list the big ones in this announcement and post a longer list in our discords #updates channel.
Spawn has been given little "minigames" and areas where you can let some steam off and relax with others, before gathering the mental strength to revisit that jump that you're stuck on.
A new Easy Course has been added, "Basics", which takes you through a quick little tutorial so you're properly strapped in for what's to come.
Medium Jurf 3 has been a thorn in many peoples side, so you'll be happy to know that we've revramped it.
The C-Tap pillars has appeared on JA2 aswell, in their truest form. (the numbers can be trusted now)
Several optimization efforts have been made, so hopefully your frames should be more stable while grinding.
Efforts has also been made to fix the lighting around the map.
Big thanks aswell to Gentle Puppet & scotch for making all these changes, and everyone of you who suggested things and reported issues.

It took a while but we have deployed a new batch of 4.3k recordings for JumpBOT over the weekend!
These include stock soldier and demoman recordings for new maps as well as recordings specific for alternative loadouts like the Original and Beggars Bazooka.
Much kudos to our contributors: Adolf The Toast Jesus™, Coolant5164, goofylight041, foster, Kolo, Mortar, RueLee, and TrouserSnivy!
