Valve released a new stable Steam Client update for all supported platforms, including SteamOS, GNU/Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows, fixing some nasty issues, but also implementing various improvements.

The star of this new Steam Client update is the In-Home Streaming feature, with received support for hotplugging headphones on the streaming client computer, along with support for the third-party VB-CABLE virtual audio driver to provide users with better 5.1 surround streaming.

The Valve developers also managed to reduce the delay and stutter that sometimes occurred when streaming games from a computer equipped with a Gigabit network interface to a PC with a 100Mbit interface. They also fixed a possible frame stutter that took place when attempting to capture video from the host computer.
