So aside from Hammer sucking, can someone describe what this changes and how it will effect mapmaking and the portal community? What new stuff can we do, and what will this make easier?

Best response will get credit on the front page news story about the SDK. (Assuming someone doesn't beat me to the punch.)

If someone can get me a screenshot of the Update News, I'm going to make it.

Best thing I noticed so far is non-portal surfaces are automatic now and don't require nodraws in front of them. Also the sample map is very useful, shows most of the important stuff you need to know like correct lighting, shadow control, cube tube, moving exit lift, buttons, soundscapes etc.

News in steam hasn't been update yet.
