By default it's off, but it's allow bot to scan graph directory, do a diff with a graph db server and upload every single graph file that do not exist in central database. This is done in a separate thread and do not block server process, and only once server/game is started, not on change level. Also, it's not working on currently started map.
combat: resolve strafe movement issues
combat: resolve bots always standing still with pistols and shotguns
vision: take a look at recent victim for some time before changing view angles
control: allow bots to be killed silently (ref #514) via commands
control: bots that are killed with auto kill timer are now killed silently
fix: simd sse4.2 is now required for _mm_dp_ps, due to strange behavior on some cpus (ref #506)
refactor: cosmetic changes all over the code
linkage: do not flush linkent export table on changelevel
manager: do not allow to create bots while analyzing map
conifg: notify user about probably outdated configs, not just error in config file
linkage: added support for fake steam ids for bots controlled via yb_enable_fake_steamids)
note that fake steam ids just used for give ability server owners to run statistics modules with tracking by steam ids ant not nicknames.
fix: lang configs unable to parse last translated line (fixes#340)
fix: last enemy isn't cleared instantly with dead entity anymore
fix: bot weakness in pistol rounds
analyzer: improved optimization of useless nodes
linkage: make inability to call gamedll player( non-fatal
linkage: fixed bot boot on WON engines pre 2000 builds (support for beta 6.5 restored)
cvars: added suupport to revert all cvars to defaults via 'yb cvars defaults'
cvars: added cv_preferred_personality to select bot default personality
refactor: use single function to send hud messages over the bot code
bot: added random original podbot welcome message to preserve origins of this bot
conf: shuffle bot names and chatter items on conflig load
conf: simplified a bit chatter.cfg syntax (old syntax still works
build: added support for building with CMake (thanks @Velaron)
refactor: rall the memory hooks moved into their one cpp file
task: normal: skip sniper node if no sniper weapon.
task: normal: don't walk if there are no enemies left and they are using knives.
task: attack: get proper function if bots lose close node after attack task.
nav: unnecessary codes cleared.
combat: attack movements reviewed.
bot: enemy hearing is now better. (thanks for the @spodlesniy idea)
desire: increased desire to seek cover by distance. (made for zombie plague mod)

bot: use correct path slashes depending on platform for all data
cfg: removed simplified chines' translation, as it's too outdated
nav: floyd-warshall matrices and practice updates are done asynchronously by now
add: yb_threadpool_workers cvar, that controls number of worker threads bot will use
add: cv_autovacate_keep_slots, the amount of slots to keep by auto vacate
aim: enemy prediction is now done asynchronously by now
bot: minor fixes and refactoring, including analyze suspend mistake (ref #441)
note: the master builds are now NOT production ready, please test before installing on real servers!
analyze: allow to disable goal marking
analyze: add cvars descriptions and bounds
nav: added optional post path smoothing for astar algorithm
nav: now bots will use Dijkstra algo instead of floyd-warshall if memory usage too high (controlled via yb_path_floyd_memory_limit cvar) (fixes#434)
nav: vistable are now calculated every frame to prevent game-freeze during loading the game (fixes#434)
graph: pracrice reworked to hash table so memory footprint is as low as possible (at cost 5-10% performance loss on practice) (fixes#434)
control: bots commands now is case-insensitive
bot: major refactoring of bot's code
nav: issue warnings about path fail only with debug
practice: check for visibility when updating danger index
