Steam Client Update Released

[DigiQ8]

The Steam client has been just updated with improvements for the Windows 7 jump list and Steam Cloud transfer protocol performance along with some other fixes. Look below for the change list:

• Improved caching of images/icons fetched over HTTP and used inside client UI (avatars, achievement images, etc)
• Windows 7 jump list improvements
• Improved Steam Cloud transfer protocol performance/reliability when syncing large files
• Consistency improvements for stats and achievements
• Improved network communication work
• Added password support to steam://connect command for connecting to game servers. The proper syntax is: steam://connect/[IPort]/[password]
• Fix for the overlay sometimes not detecting input messages in games with different focus and active hwnds
• Optimized the stats and achievements system's disk usage
• Fixed cloud games attempting to sync when the client is in offline mode

To apply the update, click the File menu inside of Steam and then select "Check for Steam Client Updates...".
