14 DAY TRIAL // Steam for Linux, the digital distribution platform developed by Valve, has just received an important update and gets a little closer to a stable release.
Steam for Linux is still in the Beta stage of development and Valve is making a lot of changes to the client.
The previous release of the client was just a few days ago, but the developers have pushed another version, with a complete other set of changes and improvements.
Highlights of Steam for Linux 1.0.0.21: • Stopping the game installation when pressing cancel button in installation wizard has been fixed; • A crash that occurred when initiating a voice chat (present in previous beta) has been fixed; • The trade menu item in multi-user chats has been disabled; • Potentially losing input focus while searching the store has been fixed; • The size of main menu UI sometimes was being incorrect displayed when navigating backward in the store; • Displaying a list of all DLC for an application in the store is now possible; • Copied text range sometimes were incorrectly displayed if you selected the text to copy in a backwards direction via the mouse; • The Community button in Big Picture menu can now be used with gamepad or the keyboard arrow keys; • Improved perf during screen transitions in Big Picture (fewer OGL FBO object create/free operations); • A problem that caused Steam to start again when exiting has been fixed; • The visible window re-positioning bug on Gnome desktop has been repaired; • Resize icons appropriately when adding icon to non-steam games; • The case that allowed two radio buttons to be selected has been repaired; • A list of favorite and popular Guides has been added to library and overlay.
A complete list of changes can be found in the official announcement. Keep in mind that this is Beta software, so problems are bound to appear.
