Steam for Linux, the digital distribution platform developed by Valve, has just received an important update and gets a little closer to a stable release.

Steam for Linux is still in the Beta stage of development and Valve is making a lot of changes to the client.

Highlights of the new Steam for Linux update:

• Beta change notes now appear in-client when a new update is available; • Users can now add wallet funds and authorize microtransactions; • In-game overlay now moves back on ESC when appropriate rather than closing directly; • Fixed left/right navigation of game related sections in the in-game overlay • Fixed default font used by the in-game overlay • A number of problems when running Steam on non-Ubuntu systems have been repaired;

A complete list of changes can be found in the official announcement. Keep in mind that this is Beta software, so problems are bound to appear.
