A new Steam client has been released and is being automatically downloaded.

Note: An update to this Steam Client has been released on April 26th to fix an issue related to Tales of Zestiria.

When returning to online mode, the previous online configuration will be restored, but your saved local edits will be available for selection

Added Steam Controller Configuration Links. When browsing configurations, a link can now be copied to the clipboard by pressing the Start button or Control+C. Following this Steam link will how the configuration and it can be optionally applied to the game it corresponds to. This link can be opened via a browser or at the commandline. From the command line, use "start [link]" in Windows, "open [link]" in OSX, and "xdg-open [link]" in SteamOS/Linux. Note that a controller must be active to apply a configuration. Links will be shown in the controller type they were created for, but will be converted to the controller type they are being applied to on application

General

• Updated Web control to Chromium v56.0.2924.10
  
• Account email and password wizards are now web based and offer usability and recovery improvements
  
• Game install folders can be moved to other Steam Library folders under Properties / Local Files
  
• Improved download/update error messages when game files are locked by other programs
  
• Improved error message when you fail to install a game and don't have enough disk space due to user quotas
  
• Added “Repair” option for Steam Library Folders to fix Windows user access rights
  
• Support for including log files and crash dumps in system reports when submitting some types of help requests
  
• Fixed a client issue causing HITMAN™ to skip one-time setup on new computers

• Fixed incorrect colors in screenshots and In-Home Streaming for Vulkan applications on AMD hardware
  

Big Picture

• Added support for using the overlay keyboard for games that have launchers
  
• Improved display when running on retina enabled devices under OSX
  

Steam Controller

• Added XBox 360, Xbox One, and Generic X-Input controller configurator support. This allows all recognized controller types to use the advanced mapping features of the Steam Controller Configurator. Note that because X-Input currently lacks per-controller means of unique identification, all controllers of that type will share personalization and configuration settings. As they share the same inputs, Xbox 360/One/Generic controllers will all see each-others configurations when browsing. Automatic conversion will be attempted when loading configurations from other controller types.
  
• Unrecognized Generic X-Input gamepad style controllers will be recognized by the Steam Controller Configurator once their buttons have been assigned to match a generic gamepad layout.
  
• Recommended configurations specified for a game by the developer will now attempt to assign based on Controller Type.
  
• Added option to disable Guide Button issuing a Steam focus change. This is available through the Big Picture controller options menu. This allows better interoperability with other applications which use the Guide Button, such as PSNow.
  
• Added Single Button simple button mode for trackpads. This allows a trackpad to be treated as a single giant button.
  
• Fix for free-floating On Screen Keyboard running very slowly if a game was open but did not have focus or was running windowed.
  
• Added independent horizontal/vertical scaling to joystick move and joystick mouse.
  
• Joystick Move mode no longer shows mouse sensitivity option unless mouse output is selected.
  
• Added additional support for third party PS4 controllers, including some HORI, MadCatz, and Armor pads and fight sticks.
  
• Fixed a bug with PS4 triggers where they were being scaled incorrectly, leading to maxing out of the value too soon.
  
• Added ability to change x-input controller order from the Controller Options menu - so in multi-controller setups of x-input games, the mapping of physical controller to x-input index can be swapped around. Note that this currently only applies to controllers that have opted into Steam Controller Configurator support.
  
• Fixed Configurator Switch Controller interface not showing controller icons.
  
• Re-enabled Gamepad outputs for desktop configurations for users of third party programs which hook into applications via the desktop configuration.
  
• Added XBox Controller Rumble Support
  
• Added ‘Turn Off Controller’ Support for PS4 Bluetooth and Wireless Receiver
  
• Added Open Big Picture controller action binding.
  
• Fixed a bug where Steam Chords wouldn't work reliably when multiple controllers were connected and disconnected in a single session.
  
• Fixed Volume being muted when connecting a Sony Wireless Receiver in Windows
  
• Fixed analog stick on-screen-keyboard interactions not working inside of Big Picture
  
• Fixed Guide Button not switching into Big Picture when Steam has focus but Guide Button Focus option has been disabled.
  
• Add support for Emio PS4 "Elite" controller

• Added overlay support for new Windows 10 Insider preview builds
  

OSX

• Reduced energy usage when Steam is not the active application rights
  

Linux

• Improved interactions between the Steam runtime and host distribution libraries, which should let Steam work out of the box with open-source graphics drivers on modern distributions. If using an older distribution or running into problems, use STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 to revert to previous behavior.
  
• Unify close-to-tray behavior with other platforms. If using a distribution that doesn't have proper compatible tray support, use STEAM_FRAME_FORCE_CLOSE=0
  
• Added idle detection, friend status will now automatically switch to Away/Snooze
  
• Fixed Steam not obeying SIGTERM, Steam will now gracefully exit when logging out of a session
  
• Fixed keyboard input and cursor switching in overlay for Vulkan applications
  
• Update Vulkan loader in the Steam runtime to enable Xlib support
  
• Updated libxcb in the runtime with a fix for DRI3-related crashes on open-source graphics drivers

When enabled, PS4 controllers will have access to the same sort of customization/configuration support as Steam Controllers, including native API support. PS4 Controllers using this system can map the trackpad, gyro, buttons, etc. to keyboard, mouse, or x-input outputs and can make use of action sets, touch menus, radial menus, and so forth.
  
• Added software gyro+accelerometer integration for IMUs without hardware integration. Allows Joystick-Move/D-Pad/Mouse Leaning support for the PS4 gyro input.
  
• Added New Mode – Joystick Mouse. This is a joystick based mouse control useful for stick based controllers.

This is useful to mark changes in state such as different action sets or mode shifts, or on start/release press activators for changing while a button is pressed, for example. Light settings are reset to user preference when changing applications/configurations.
  
• Added software calibration for non-Steam controller based IMUs to counter for gyro drift.
  
• Modes and bindings which are unavailable to desktop and Big Picture modes will no longer be shown in the configurator.

• Changed Mouse mode Gyro Enable Button to default to Always On when placed on a PS4 Controller.
  
• Changed Joystick Mouse to default to Wide Response.
  
• Configuration Browser can now be toggled to show all available controller types rather than the default of the in-use controller type.
  
• Configurations can now be marked as “Unique” to a specific controller. This configuration will only be applied to that controller for that user's account. By default, all controllers of a specific type will share a configuration unless marked as Unique.
  
• Fixed a bug where rumble would send to the incorrect controller and could cause controllers to control the incorrect player.
  
• Fixed default settings not applying properly to mode shifted modes, which could cause certain parameters to be incorrect by default on mode-shifts.

When enabled, PS4 controllers will have access to the same sort of customization/configuration support as Steam Controllers, including native API support. PS4 Controllers using this system can map the trackpad, gyro, buttons, etc. to keyboard, mouse, or x-input outputs and can make use of action sets, touch menus, radial menus, and so forth.
  
• Added software gyro+accelerometer integration for IMUs without hardware integration. Allows Joystick-Move/D-Pad/Mouse Leaning support for the PS4 gyro input.

Light settings are reset to user preference when changing applications/configurations.
