An update to SteamVR has been released with the following change:

• Fixed a crash in vrserver.exe that can occur when plugging in or unplugging a USB device.

Changes include:

• Crash dumps from vrserver are now uploaded to the breakpad server to make it easier to find and fix them.
  
• vrserver will now shut down automatically if no client connects to it in the first two seconds.
  
• Increased the time that VR apps will wait for vrserver.exe to start.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented a VR app from being able to init SteamVR after certain kinds of transient failure. (Windows only)
