Note that the terrain editor is and will remain considered "beta" and unsupported -- we've done our best to make it as stable and user-friendly as possible, but there are limits to what we can accomplish with the time and resources we have to work with right now, so we felt it would be best to release what we have now, (minor) warts and all, and let the community sink their teeth into it, rather than wait for some future date when we'd made it "perfect". As a result, you will need to add the line "EditorEnabled = 1" to your settings.ini after you apply the new patch, to enable the terrain editor. This also prevents casual users from "accidentally" wandering into the editor and causing havok.
I'm also going to be working on getting a tutorial for the terrain editor for published early next year. Again, we thought it best to release the editor now rather than wait for said tutorial, hope you agree. If you have questions on how to use the editor, just ask. Myself or any of the (currently very secretive) members of the beta team can probably answer them.
Without further ado, here's the patch list. It's smaller by far than patch 1, primarily because most of the bullet pointed items are new features that took a great deal of time to implement.

Way to go guys 
What is the chance of simeone with dual monitors putting the parts that overlap the maps onto the second screen?? I think I can safely say that most (or alot of) people out there have Dual output video cards and a second monitor could be a cheap one if need be.
