"Updated Downloads section, including download-queue management and quick links to throttling and app update settings" Holy Shit, finally.
"Fixed issue with ever-increasing playtime for games that aren't running" I really want to know how this even became an issue in the first place.

It didn't stop until it had clocked over 400 hours on his account. To this day he has never even played the game.
If the way they've coded Steam allows for such seemingly random issues it sounds like Steam's code is a huge mess.

It seems the installer has been updated/changed as well. Previously when downloading/installing games it would stick on the "preparing <game name> files for install..." for about 20 seconds. Now it seems to flash past in about 3 seconds.
"Fixed a bug where maximizing would lead to an incorrectly sized window if the Steam window was on a secondary monitor that has the primary taskbar positioned on it" This actually bugged me a lot. Glad it was fixed.
