We will be rolling out the update to servers in stages in the next 24 hours. Servers that have not been updated yet will appear greyed out in the server browser. During the rollout period, you can still access the 0.6 client by switching to the "Update-0.6" branch on Steam via the "Betas" properties tab.

Surrendering
Used to end wars that are in a state where it's near impossible for one team to come back
Players can now set a surrender flag (on F1 player screen) under certain conditions (enemy has claimed all Town Halls except one, enough time has passed)
If > 70% of players set their surrender flag, then the war ends with a defeat for the surrending faction
Water vehicles can now be repaired in water
Players can no longer walk on top of Heavy Gate or any wall structures
New "No HEs" game modifier that removes High Explosive grenades from the game

"Join Campaign" button added on Campaign screen (used to enter lobby)
