Valve has launched yet another Beta version for its Steam for Linux client, this time with just a few minor fixes and improvements.

After a development version garners sufficient changes, Valve promotes it to stable. The work for the next beta starts almost immediately.

Highlights of the latest Steam for Linux update:

• A case where the toast from an incoming chat message would show an older message instead rather than the most recent, has been fixed; • "Time remaining" calculation, when downloading or updating games, has been improved; • A case where footer buttons could double activate and trigger an activation failure sound erroneously, has been fixed; • Support has been added for purchasing subscription based games.

A complete list of changes brought by this release can be found in the official announcement.

This is a Beta software and this means that bugs are bound to surface. Download the Steam for Linux installer from Softpedia and join the Beta program in the Settings in order to get access to the latest version.
