|-
|4.1 (build ?)
| [https://gmod.facepunch.com/news/january-2021-update January 27, 2021]
| 
'''Improvements:'''
* Added HammerID to the "solid with X faces" and "group of X objects" descriptions for easier distinguishing/debugging
* Adjusted visgroup validation to allow solids be a child of an object group regardless of format version. Prevents those solids on old .vmfs from losing their [[visgroup]]
* Disallowed object groups (CMapGroup) to be hidden by the visgroup system - the objects themselves are hidden not the CMapGroup. Fixes "orphaned objects" warning
* Display Raytraced preview in the 3d view when it finishes rendering
* Increased amount of recent files to 10, from 4
* Moved "Edit Instance" button to not cover the input/output icons in Hammer (All 3 also behave better when resizing the window).
'''Fixes:'''
* Fixed not resetting {{ent|LightmappedGeneric}}'s shader constant 0 ({{ent|$basetexturetransform}}) between renders, resulting in it affecting materials which do not have $basetexturetransform set (Also affects Hammer)
* Right/Middle mouse clicking in Hammer 3D view works better now, by disabling mouse look only when it was started by middle/right clicking a 3D view
* Fixed Hammer's Transform dialog (CTRL+M) improperly reading Y and Z coordinates
* Applied bone setup crash fixes to Hammer too.
'''FGD Fixes ({{ent|garrysmod.fgd}}:'''

* Entity comments allow adding new lines with Enter in Hammer Object Properties.

* Hammer & other tools mount addons/ folder by default (can be disabled with -noaddons launch parameter)

* Text parsing: Handle loading/writing \r correctly (Hammer VMF)
* Made Hammer use {{code|gmod.exe}} when generating GameConfig.txt
