A new update has just been released for Team Fortress 2 with some interesting changes

• Reworked the character loadout screens to support future features
• Added the ability for players to permanently delete items from their inventory using the new Backpack menu. This does not reset achievements. Once an item has been deleted it can never be re-earned
• Added the ability for players to reset their player stats using the Reset Stats button on the Stats menu. This does not reset achievements
• Added a "player_teleported" game event that is sent when a player is teleported
• Updated cp_junction_final to score per-capture instead of per-round. This fixes the map not working correctly with Tournament mode and the stopwatch
• Scouts now drop the flag if they're carrying it when they start phasing

Good to see some extra options for stats in there. But the new backpack menu is all unknown territory still. Deleted items? What could these be?

Forum member Sliver has taken an early peek and found a 'headwear' section for each class. There is a variety such as a Sniper's hat + toothbelt, Engineer's miner helmet, Scout's batting helmet, or the Demoman's afro! See the full changelist here.
