The two main new features in 247 are the in-game vote system and some very basic training bots. The former should improve the ability of players to manage their play experience, and the latter will bring on our doom at the hands of Skynet.

Added Server Details window to the server browser
Added “server name” field to server browser filters
Added filter tabs in server browser

Improvements:
Password prompt window will now join a server when pressing enter
Added key bindings for “Vote Yes” and “Vote No”
Limit pistol fire rate to 10 bullets per second (thanks matso, xDragon)
