Patch: Timbersaw added to Captains Mode

Today's Dota 2 patch focuses mainly on bugfixes with some small additions. No new heroes were added.

The main news is that Timbersaw has finally been added to captains mode, with an addition to tournament mode happening next week.

The following items now have their own graphic after being dropped on the floor: Divine Rapier, Healing Salve, Clarity, Dust of Appearance, Bottle, and Boots of Speed.

Items in the courier now count towards a player's networth, hopefully meaning less confusion and distraction from casters.

The patch will be available for download tomorrow.
