Returned mouse input to using windows messages rather than raw input, this should correct the sensitivity change people have seen
Added m_rawinput cvar, if set to 1 this enables using the raw input API's on your OS to get mouse input, usually with lower latency but missing the post processing from your OS
Fixed corrupt HTTP downloads if the url sent by the game server resulted in a 404 error
Fixed corruption of text input when hitting backspace while composing a message
Renamed gl_ztrick cvar to gl_ztrick_old, usage of this cvar is deprecated and caused rendering issues
