hldsupdatetool for L4D2 will be shut off on July 1st.

You didn't miss it, it never hit the hlds_announce list, only hlds and hlds_linux. It appears that Kerry is not a valid sender for hlds_announce

I'm a bit confused by this:

Kerry Davis Fri, 28 Jun 2013 14:261 -0700 Left 4 Dead 2 has a new dedicated server build available as a beta. Add "-beta beta" to your SteamCMD command line to get the beta. This is the updated build that will be released to clients next week, so it is NOT interoperable with the current public client.

Is this beta install the one we are meant to be using on monday?

The hldsupdatetool version and the steamcmd non-beta are on parity with the current client.

The steamcmd beta version is compatible with the client update that will be released sometime on Monday (at which point the hldsut version will no longer work, and the steamcmd public branch will be set to the version that the beta branch is on).

SM will be broken in the beta and after the update Monday¹ due to a large number of under-the-hood changes that they made for the linux client which I expect will also be launching on Monday.

¹This might only be true for linux servers. I haven't looked closely at it yet

Ok, so if I'm already running the public steampipe version, there's no need to use the "-beta beta" parameter, I can simply just validate my public branch after the patch on monday and it will download the correct version?

I sure hope that other part is linux
