Subject: RE: New Steam interface

New Steam client update changes:

* Fixed high CPU usage on some machines caused by WebKit windows running their frame loop at a fast rate even when not visible
* Fixed high CPU usage on moving a Steam window where more redrawing was occurring than was needed
* Added the ability to enable or disable DirectWrite based font-rendering in the settings dialog
* Fixed store page not being shown correctly on trying to accept an invite to a game you don't own
* Fixed some highlight styles in friends chats when selecting text
* Fixed some unneeded .mdmp file creation when launching mods
* Added back 16x16 icon support for mods, and now supporting new 32x32 icon. Mod authors should add a 32x32 icon with the same name as the 16x16 but with _big added to the end of the filename.
* Fixed potential memory corruption crash for some first time users installing from a retail install disc
* Fixed a crash on exit when requests for app icon data were still in-flight
* Fixed pause/resume button sizing in non-english languages on downloads page
* Improved hit testing on frame buttons (minimize, maximize, close)
* Improved hit testing in text entry controls
* Fixed the in-game browser hanging on maps.google.com
* Fixed custom cursors showing as no cursor in the in-game browser (custom cursors are still not supported, but the arrow cursor will now be shown at least)
* Improved error handling in the in-game browser so instead of testshell-error: you'll get a more useful error page shown in the browser window
* Additional strings and fixes for non-english languages
* Fix reconnect attempts while Friends/VAC is offline causing stuttering in the client and potentially in Steamworks games
* Fix for a very small memory leak on moving windows
* Fix bold text in the unknown url warning dialog in chats sometimes not appearing
* Throttle attempts to update clouded steam config settings to avoid excess attempts when the Cloud servers restart

You also have to install a non-IE version of Flash to get the videos to work. What a mess.
