A new Steam client update has been released yesterday, check the change list below:

• Made connections to misbehaving content servers timeout and retry a new server correctly
• Fixed the client sometimes forgetting a game exists after a content update on Steam
• Fixed several rare crashes and memory corruption bugs
• Workaround for a Firefox 3.5 bug where they activate random windows after minimizing which would confuse the state of some Steam windows
• Fixed internet tab in the in-Steam ServerBrowser not updating sorting as more servers are refreshed
• Fixed the first time launch "Installing ..." dialog which is shown while installing things like DirectX for a game taking too much CPU and making the install take a long time

More after the break.

• Fixed the sorting of the games list to be case insensitive and fix the mini-games list to use the same sorting method as the full games list
• Fixed Change User menu option not logging you out correctly
• Fixed one case of downloads getting stuck
• Fixed a potential crash in D3D8 games switching between windowed and full screen caused by the in-game overlay
• Fixed unnecessary minidump when in offline mode
• Fixed overlay bug where opening the overlay from an in-game menu (ie, Invite Friends in a L4D lobby) could result in the overlay opening and closing immediately if you had previously used the "Close" button in the overlay itself
