Here is the changelog for Dota 6.59d by Icefrog. Happy playing!

* Fixed some item exploits
* Fixed a rare memory related bug
* Temporarily changed switch voting system. It requires 100% of the vote for now. There will be a better -switch implementation in the next version or two
* Fixed a few other misc bug/exploits

Aside from that, let me share to you what are the changes for Dota 6.59 map.

Dota 6.59c CHANGELOG

• Fix a couple of recently discovered exploits

Dota 6.59b CHANGELOG

• Fixed various memory glitches from recent optimizations that sometimes resulted in abilities/items malfunctioning

Dota 6.59 CHANGELOG

• Some performance improvements
• You can no longer attack items you do not own if they are in the fountain area

• Fixed some rare memory corruption bugs that could cause random abilities/items to malfunction or result in a fatal error

• Added a new subtle cooldown effect to make it a little clearer when spells are in cooldown and when they finish. This is mainly for long cooldown spells where it is sometimes difficult to tell. More work will be done in this area soon, but it needs a bit more time to make sure that anything extra is not visually intrusive. (PGRu-Unexpect3D)

• Reworked Enigma’s Conversion (see details below)

• Fixed a bug with Towers AI not defending heroes properly

• Reduced Ironwood Branch cost from 57 to 53 gold

• Increased Blademail duration from 4 to 5 seconds

• Increased Fury Swipes buff duration from 3 to 5 seconds

• Fixed an issue with unit selection when respawning with Aegis while controlling other units

• When a player leaves, the state of his inventory is now recorded in the replay for easier parsing (Same 8_# actions)

• Improved Eidolons magic resistance a bit

• Fixed some minor technical issues with Mask of Madness

• Fixed scoreboard player names when a player switches with a leaver

• Switch no longer works when only 1 person agrees in a 1v1 situation

• Fixed Zombies continuing to spawn when the game is over

• Fixed Eidolon Acquire range and reduced collision size a bit

• Fixed -switch with frozen leaver heroes

• Abaddon now uses the Death Knight model instead of the Evil Arthas one (practically the same, but commonly requested)

• You now have vision over the area you cast Blackhole in (260562)

Lesser Eidolon/Eidolon/Greater Eidolon/Dire Eidolon (Same as before)

Cooldown: 35
Manacost: 170

Notes: It cannot target Level 5+ Neutral Creeps

Experimental Runes
====================
This temporary mode changes the rune system to a more experimental one. I will be changing how -er works from version to version to try out different ideas. I don’t plan on any one version of the new runes to replace the current system directly, so do not panic Well Instead, it will be used as something to create discussion, spark ideas, find flaws and playtest different concepts over time.

How -er works for this version: Runes spawn simultaneously on both sides at 3 minute intervals (instead of 2). Again I have no plans to make this permanant.
