We have just shipped an updated Steam Client to the Preview/Beta channel.
General
Fixed a crash when resuming from suspend
Added a workaround for updates occasionally hanging at 99%
Updated the styling of the chat tab to better convey focus states
Game invites from friends now have a dedicated widget in the chat tab above the text entry, instead of having to navigate to the exact message in the chat history window. Individual invites from friends in a group also show in the group chat window instead of having to navigate to the individual friend's 1-1 chat tab to accept.
Improved the group chat layout and fixed areas where gamepad navigation could get stuck
Friend chat message notifications will now be rolled up rather than sending one 2 second notification per message
Plumbed the per-friend voice chat levels to the friend context menu in BPM
