Valve ships small updates most weeks — usually community map refreshes, gameplay fixes and map-scripting additions — with a larger release every few months that brings a new Premier season, Armory collections or an operation. Every one of them is listed here, newest first.
Straight from Valve. This archive reads Counter-Strike's official Steam announcement feed, so each entry is the release note Valve published, with a link to the original post. Nothing is rewritten or summarised away.
Within about 15 minutes of Valve posting. The feed is re-read on a short interval, so a build that ships in the evening shows up here the same evening.
Frequently. Case and collection changes, Armory rotations, operation launches and Major shop releases all change what is available and what people are buying. When an update touches items, open the skin or case page to see what actually happened to the price around that date.
They are Valve's own headings. "Gameplay" covers mechanics and weapon behaviour, "Maps" lists per-map fixes and Workshop refreshes, "Map scripting" is the scripting API for custom maps, "Armory" and "Misc" cover items and everything else. Each update card lists the sections that build touched.
