The latest CS:GO update has gone live and it fixes a recently revealed smoke exploit and makes some significant changes to Mutiny and Swamp, the most recent additions to the map pool.
The smoke glitch was revealed just yesterday and Valve has already jumped on top of it. The glitch went viral after Richard Lewis published a YouTube video calling it out.

Since sharing that information with Valve it took only 24 hours before they released a fix which “optimized platform shader files and sound configuration files to be packed inside compressed VPK files,” ultimately shutting down the exploint, or at least this way to do it.
In terms of Mutiny and Swamp, this update is the first to the two maps since they released and is mostly bug fixes, performance / FPS optimizations, and slight map tweaks. You can find a full list of the changes below.
