* See the [[Source SDK release notes archive]] for information on previous releases.
* In order to support multiple versions of the SDK tools the directory structure underneath 'sourcesdk\bin' has changed.
  'sourcesdk\bin'              - contains binaries needed to run the Source SDK launcher
  'sourcesdk\bin\ep1\bin      - contains Ep1 engine compatible versions of the SDK tools
  'sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin - contains Orange Box engine compatible versions of the SDK tools


=== SDK Launcher ===
__NOTOC__
* SDK Launcher can run either the Orange Box compatible versions of the SDK tools or the Ep1 versions. The newest tools are run by default, but specifying '-engine ep1' in the launch options of the Source SDK tool will have the launcher run the previous versions of Hammer, Faceposer, and Model Viewer.

Screenshot of the now-deprecated "Source SDK" launcher.
If you see this page when you first open the "Source SDK" (AppID 211) launcher, please note that the standalone Source SDK tool/launcher is no longer updated, and does not support Source 2013 and Team Fortress 2 branch games.
The deprecated Source SDK tools are provided to create content-based mods for Source 2009 or earlier, and to obtain source code & create or maintain legacy mods built on Source SDK Base 2006 and Source SDK Base 2007.

Many Source 2013 and Team Fortress 2 branch games are usually shipped with Source SDK preinstalled, located in the 🖿\bin folder. To launch the SDK applications (Hammer, HLMV, etc...) manually on Source 2013 games, see the SDK Installation - Source 2013 (SteamPipe) & TF2 branch section for a list of applications and their executables.
