Valve have now rolled out the latest stable update to the Steam Client which includes some nice fixes and improvements.
One issue I certainly noticed, since I am downloading games pretty much all the time is how often the Steam Client became unresponsive while downloading. Valve have improved this in the latest build, which is great.
Additionally, they fixed an issue where sometimes the recently played games list was truncated to 5 items, a rare crash was fixed where getting a local network address failed on a local network connection and a fix for when you're trying to buy or sell items in the overlay which might result in an empty browser window when Family View was active.
For Steam Input, they've added support for the PDP Faceoff Wired Pro Controller, the PowerA wired/wireless GameCube Style controllers and PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller.
Also, the Steam community header is now hidden when in Big Picture chat. Full details available here.
Hopefully sometime later this year we might finally see the modern Steam client Valve have talked about (and leaked) a few times.

I did not realized that was a bug and always wondered why on earth they display only the 5 most recent. Good

Browser is showing six for me? Is that the bug: One missing?!?
Quoting: HoriI want them to fix the bug where Proton games have 0kb updates scheduled (but not autostarted) every time I open the clientSince that started, all my updates seem to have been scheduled about 6-9 hours ahead. It's become my habit to go straight to the downloads page every time I start Steam. But yes, the 0kb Proton ones are the most annoying.

The bug is open, and got lots of attention, so they probably will fix it.

Quoting: ThePierrasseIs it me or did they just fix a long-standing issue with the client window that never remained properly maximized? (at least on Unity)The problem I usually have is that after exiting a game, the Big Picture Mode window is minimized (on Gnome-Shell). Would be nice if they fixed that.

That sounds annoying as well. I just checked and mine is still there, every time that I start up Steam the window has like the same size as if it was maximized but it is slightly off-center, which means that there is some empty space on one side (top and left) and the window gets cut off on the other (right and bottom).
I never came across your issue because I hardly ever use the Big Picture Mode, but the one I'm describing has been there for several years now and I don't understand why.
