Steam client update released

[Dirty]

A Steam client update is now available. To apply the update, click the File menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates...". The specific changes include:

 

Steam Client

 

• Fixed high CPU usage on some machines caused by WebKit windows running their frame loop at a fast rate even when not visible
  
• Fixed high CPU usage on moving a Steam window where more redrawing was occurring than was needed
  
• Added the ability to enable or disable DirectWrite based font-rendering in the settings dialog
  
• Fixed store page not being shown correctly on trying to accept an invite to a game you don't own
  
• Fixed some highlight styles in friends chats when selecting text
  
• Fixed some unneeded .mdmp file creation when launching mods
  
• Added back 16x16 icon support for mods, and now supporting new 32x32 icon. Mod authors should add a 32x32 icon with the same name as the 16x16 but with _big added to the end of the filename.
  
• Fixed potential memory corruption crash for some first time users installing from a retail install disc
  
• Fixed a crash on exit when requests for app icon data were still in-flight

• Improved hit testing in text entry controls
  
• Fixed the in-game browser hanging on maps.google.com
  
• Fixed custom cursors showing as no cursor in the in-game browser (custom cursors are still not supported, but the arrow cursor will now be shown at least)
  
• Improved error handling in the in-game browser so instead of testshell-error: you'll get a more useful error page shown in the browser window
  
• Additional strings and fixes for non-english languages
  
• Fix reconnect attempts while Friends/VAC is offline causing stuttering in the client and potentially in Steamworks games
  
• Fix for a very small memory leak on moving windows
