This one has quite a bit packed into it.

Steam Client


  • Fixed Steam thinking games were still running if you had a particular 3rd party application installed on Windows 8, due to it leaving a process around even after game exit
  • Work around to prevent duplicate key presses in some cases for games running inside Adobe AIR


Library


  • Add an "Uncategorized" filter in desktop library filter dropdowns. This will appear when a user has at least one game in a category and at least one game that has no categories.
  • Retain selections when switching filters whenever possible
  • Retain multiple selections when switching between details and list view


Big Picture


  • Fixed crash on game launch if you mashed the A button


In-Home Streaming


  • Added hardware accelerated decoding for Mac OS X 10.9 and newer


Mac OS X


  • Fixed helper thread waking up too often causing more context switching load than needed
