An update has been released for the Steam Client and will be automatically downloaded.
General
Updated desktop user interface styles, simplifying common controls and navigation elements, and neutralizing overall color palette to align with Steam web pages and Big Picture mode
Major update of embedded web browser to increase performance, reliability, and to bring in various security fixes and functionality updates
Work around to prevent duplicate key presses in some cases for games running inside Adobe AIR
Don't delay content updates for games set to high priority
Fixed in-game progress indicators for workshop downloads displaying incorrect percentages for compressed filesFixed mods and shortcuts not displaying their names correctly in the friends interface and server browser
Library
Games can now be assigned to more than one category at a time
Add "Hide this game in my library" functionality, accessible from the Set Categories menu. Games that are hidden will not show up in library filters except for a new filter called "Hidden", which will only appear once at least one game is marked as hidden. Hidden games are still available for play and will still appear on the user's profile.
Add an "Uncategorized" filter in desktop library filter drop downs. This will appear when a user has at least one game in a category and at least one game that has no categories.
In desktop library details, list, and small views, games can be multiply selected using shift-click and control-click and certain operations can be performed on the group
Added install option to context menu for multiple selections
When filtering by favorites or by owner, display only a single section instead of all the sections that the games are in.
When adding a new category, scroll the category list to the bottom so we can see the category that was just added
Added by-category filter options to the filter drop downs in all library views
When switching between library views, remember the category of the game selected and retain it when possible
In list view with game images selected, display the image on all instances of the game instead of only one
Eliminate extraneous "Favorite" category when favorites are added from Set Categories instead of Add to Favorites
Make type-to-search properly expand categories in list view. Better synchronize type to search between library views.
Remove user categories from navigation bar hover menu. They are still available in the game filters drop-down in the library views.
Add context menu to category headers in library views, containing "Expand All" and "Collapse All", and, in details/mini view, "Show/Hide Icons"
Improve category collapse state synchronization between library views.
Don't show hover effect on list items when a context menu is visible
Add glow effect on hover to 2' library game filter button
Retain selections when switching filters whenever possible
Retain multiple selections when switching between details and list viewSynchronize selection between main window library views and Small Mode.
