I wish i could do this for Half-Life 2. I would love to go back and play some of the older mods.

Totally diggin the new install window. Except for that the sidebar received a dramatic change. Now it displays desktop icons and you can now pause/resume your download. Also you can now Search for friends without going through the forums.
Here is a changelog of this preview update:
[quote]
- Rollbacks - option to manually rollback your game to a previous version
- Installation screen - change install path, language, update preferences and more for every installation
- Pause/Resume functionality

- Improved application wide back/forward navigation
- Improved performance (CPU and RAM usage, application launch)
- Better HiDPI support
- New sidebar compact style

[/quote]
and some issues:
[quote]
- MAC: sidebar settings and sorting is not stored after Galaxy restart
- WINDOWS: switching to a HiDPI display does not always scale the window size until windows is resized
- in certain scenarios Galaxy Updater shows an error after update to 1.1. (this does not affect future updates, or the 1.1 update itself) [/quote]
Huh, how weird, I recall this being a feature of Galaxy even before this patch...

Paradox Interactive does it via the Beta Opt-in feature in steam.

it'll never happen because no publisher will agree to it

It'd be a neat feature, even if only Valve takes advantage of it.
There are a couple of developers that sort of accomplish the same thing by adding previous versions as "betas" that people can opt in on. Though having it as a full feature on Steam would be nice.
I know that it's the guys over at CDPR and they're cool, but they're really managing to take all the right steps at adventuring into a client like this.
I wonder it will end up considered "bloated" and "unusable" by some when it has all the features.

It's already a thing for games that use SteamPipe (which is now pretty much everything with maybe only some very remote exceptions) as separate branches can be added that show up in the betas tab.
It's just up to the developer(s) if they want to use it for previous version branches though.
