General

• Fixed error "Invalid Depot Config" while updating a game owned by multiple users on the same computer

• Improve voice chat protocol for multiple sessions

• Fixed "flushconfig" causing Steam to forget non-standard game install folders

• Added preliminary support for games using the Mantle graphics API

Big Picture

• Added ability to set the search provider used when entering text into the Web Browsers url bar, under the Interface area in Options.

• Fixed a bug where known controller bindings would sometimes not be communicated to the game when Steam started in Big Picture mode

Steam Music Player

• Fixed saving out 'Media Keys enabled' on Windows

• Removed the setting for enabling media keys for OS X and Linux, because it is not available on these platforms

• Scanning for new music only on complete downloads, reducing the numbers of scans

• Fixed Settings > Interface > Set Taskbar Preferences

• Made usage of media keys optional, default is off

• Added plus button next to Album/Artist button to make it easier to add music

• Music scanner includes soundtracks in game directories containing "Sound Track" as name

• Fixed rare case of accidental grabbing focus on startup in 2' UI

In-Home Streaming

• Fixed gradual framerate drop over time

• Fixed not being able to stream if you copy a Steam installation to another computer

Linux

• Fixed gamepad entry repeating quickly when running under a locale that doesn't use the decimal point character for floating point numbers

• Changed Steam Cloud file paths to be preserve case instead of converting to lowercase. This will not retroactively affect files already synced to the cloud.

• Added default controller bindings for Xbox One controllers
