A new Steam client has been released and will be automatically downloaded.

General

Fixed friends chat and other UI being visible when authorizing an in-game mictransaction


New Steam Chat


Unread messages or active voice chats will now update your Steam tray/taskbar icons to indicate these statesWhen displaying a Steam store link in a chat window, extra information about the game, such as screenshots, video and price, are now displayed in the chat history


Windows

Significantly improved performance and decreased memory usage for HTML based UI (Store, Community, etc) in the main Steam desktop window


Steam Input


Added the ability to change controller type in the “Define Layout” screen. This only affects the glyphs and configurations recommended for the device and the limits of whatever low-level API the controller is read through still apply. For example if a PS4 controller is currently treated as an Xbox controller because of a driver or non-Steam Input remapping software presenting the device over Xinput reclassifying it to a PS4 controller will only correct the glyphs and the gyro/trackpad will not work.
Fixed an issue with devices with digital triggers and buttons bound to trigger outputsAdded Steam Input per-game settings to the desktop client’s game properties page.


In-Home Streaming

Streaming from Mac OS X Mojave is currently disabled


Big Picture Mode


Added the new chat functionality to Big Picture Mode. If you’re using a custom Big Picture Mode controller configuration please update to the new recommended configuration under Settings->Base Configurations->Big Picture Mode. Hit X/Square to browse configurations and apply the recommended configuration.
Added "Invite to Game" action to Big Picture chat
Chat scaling is now done automatically based on whether Big Picture is running on a large monitor (>40" diagonal) or running in VR with the option to override regular and VR scaling settings individually
