We have released a Beta update for Counter-Strike 1.6.

Counter-Strike 1.6 update released
We have updated the public release of Counter-Strike. This update contains all the changes from the recent beta, thanks to the whole community for their help with testing and suggesting new features.
Changes in this update are:
Added better detection for older GPU drivers and the functionality they support. This should fix the green bar or black screen rendering issues people have been seeing
Added letterboxing of the game based upon your resolution option so the game maintains the correct aspect ratio based upon your resolution choice. If you choose a "Normal" (4:3) and play on a widescreen (16:9 or 16:10) monitor then we will now place black bars at the edge of the screen to keep the right aspect ratio. The same is true for widescreen options on 4:3 monitors. Put "-stretchaspect" in the games launch options in Steam if you wish to disable this behavior
Report bomb position more frequently to T team members when dropped, fixes it appearing at the wrong location on the radar
Added support for "-freq " command line to set monitor frequency when running in fullscreen AND your monitor supports the frequency in question. If you don't have a CRT monitor chances are you can't use this option.
Improved firing behavior in Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike:Condition Zero and Half-Life Deathmatch, it is no longer dependant on client or server frame rate. This change needs both your client and server updates to see the improvements.
Strip trailing and leading whitespace on player names, and strip all styles of whitespace now unicode is supported
Added logging of developer messages when using -condebug
Added support for double clicking a demo to load when using the Load dialog for the viewdemo command
Improve general dialog layout in the options UI
Improved copy/paste functionality under Linux
Cleaned up default keybindings
Fixed defuse bar staying up across round restart if you died while defusing without the defuse kit
Fixed corrupt texture when running older GPU's that incorrectly report support for non power-of-two textures
Fixed the content lock dialog when running some video resolutions
Fixed "snapshot" command when running certain video resolutions
Force cl_bobcycle to be a minimum of 0.1 to prevent game exploits
Fixed Half-Life flashing to black for a single frame on level change
Fixed crash if you picked up a grenade in non-standard game styles
Fixed some window size change events not passing through correctly
Fixed white bar at the bottom of the screen and low FPS when running a 16-bit desktop under windows
Fixed crash if you used the swapdemo command incorrectly
