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 Steam for Linux:

• Closing URL open dialog in friends chats with cancel hotkey/button is now supported; • Steam no longer creates a bad Desktop file on systems with localized Desktop directory; • A bug in with text wrapping when it shouldn’t happen, has been fixed; • Pending friend invites showing up as background of community rather than actual friends, has been fixed; • Perf loading community tab background/friends list has been improved.

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.
