well, there's been whispers of it forever. 
I'd hold off getting too eager until hearing from a more reputable source, heh.
When they make the texture window stop stealing focus and make it easier to save custom window positions, I might doodle in it some more. 
Oh, but there's still no wireframe models in the grid views, boo!
Yes there is, and displacements are shown properly too - that's one of the nicest (and most bloody necessary) updates
Leaked HL2 had Hammer with Light preview in it.

oh bloody hell, my version must not have updated properly! 
curses!

/me taps foot
same here
Quote from ReNoSome guy on the snarkpit apparently heard word of it from Adrian Finol who is a programmer at Valve. I can't really confirm anything and I didn't notice anything about it in the current beta, but as I said, there are whispers
I bellive some VALVe employee said in an interview that the feature will be added.
EDIT: Never mind this post, Pericolos0 has already mentioned it 
Sorry
the shaded view doesn't work at all for me
It seems to perform a lot better. The 2D views arn't all chobby when you scroll with lots of geometry. That alone is worth it.
Though I do wish terrain was visible from a distance. It only appears when close or when it's selected.

There's a new button at the top right that toggels this on/off. It was set by default for me when I loaded it up.

Same for me. The texture quality is at low res as well argh
Anyone know how to switch to old hammer ? Uninstalling - reinstalling ? 
Anyone knows where to send the bugs? 
Anybody know how to compile with HDR in the batch compiler?
It's certainly smart, but forget all these new features. I love it simply because before my map was dense enough to make 2d navigation a stuttering chore. Now, with the same map, it's absolutely silky smooth.
Honestly, previewable lighting, and we're golden.
after previewable lighting i wont have an excuse not to map for source

that's hot.
models in 2d views is amazing for clipping stuff, i wasted so much time in the past doing it by eye in the 3d views
geez, not that I really use Source, but it's good to finally see Hammer catching up with just about every other editor out there.
a bit overkill dont ya think ?
Well I had been standing in a dark corner, recharging my "HDR Vision"-goggles. You have to be fast on the screenshot-key to capture the most HDR goodness
