Since we're on the subject of new releases, is it possible that we merge the MapChooser code from 1.8 to 1.7? Someone just pointed out to me that the NextMap plugin doesn't seem to get along well with the more descriptive names that TF2 Map Workshop maps can use. Case in point, "workshop/arena_byre.ugc454142123" has the last character cut off and that's one of the shortest map paths of a workshop map in long form.
A fix for this was merged into 1.8 back in late June as part of Pull Request #226.
Edit:
Code:
Server has been empty for 60 seconds on this map, cycling map as per mp_mapcycle_empty_timeout_seconds
