14 DAY TRIAL // A new Steam Beta update has been released by Valve, and it gets the development cycle a little closer to the final version.
Valve has released a new Steam Beta update for all the supported platforms, and it brings a couple of Linux-centric changes among a multiple of other improvements.
According to the changelog, the web views are now displaying content even if the helper process took too long to be launched, the user categories have been removed from the navigation bar hover menu, a context menu has been added to category headers in library views (it has "Expand All" and "Collapse All"), the category collapse state synchronization between library views has been improved, and type-to-search now properly expands categories in list view.
Also, the Enter key is now working correctly in web views for the Linux platform, the Linux Steam runtime has been updated, and a few other smaller fixes have been implemented.
This is the Steam Beta branch, which means that users will need to open Settings and choose the Beta option in order to get these latest changes.
If you don’t have the client, you can download the Steam for Linux installer from Softpedia. This is not the actual application, but a small tool provided by Valve that downloads the actual software and takes care of any dependencies.
