Whoa! You guys are breaking all kinds of Compendium records. In just 24 hours, nine Stretch Goals have been unlocked with a tenth looming on the horizon.

Today we shipped Loading Screen Treasure and are in the process of granting it to Compendium owners. As for other rewards, we're putting the finishing touches on the Special Edition HUD and the Immortal Rewards are also coming along nicely.
You'll also notice the Arcana Vote has been unlocked and is ready for input on your Compendium. This voting is unique in that you vote for your favorite hero in each of the 16 groups to ensure their survival. Those that remain will then be pitted against each other in a single-elimination voting deathmatch to determine which will receive the next Arcana.
We've also updated The Compendium website to reflect the current release state of each Stretch Goal.
And, for those still thinking about getting a Compendium, yes, you will receive all Rewards regardless of when you make your purchase.

Ah, spring! The birds chirp, the flowers bloom, Ursa leaves his den, and Dota 2 gets a shiny new update. In this single-day event, we’ve taken the wraps off the 6.81 gameplay adjustments. Check out the changes coming to your favorite heroes in the <a href="http://www.dota2.com/springcleaning/">changelog</a>.
Plus, we called in a few exterminators and squashed a pretty mean colony of bugs throughout the game. The <a href="http://www.dota2.com/springcleaning/">update page</a> has the gooey details.
Once the update is released next week, you’ll also find two new Treasures available. Unlike previous Treasures, these are purchased directly from the Dota 2 Store, and do not require a seal to open. Simply purchase, then crack it open to obtain one of several new hero sets.
Meanwhile, in tournament news, we’re about two weeks away from The International’s Regional Qualifiers. Stay tuned for more information on the Teams and match times.
