Gearbox Studios' surprise hit shooter of 2009 has received a new update today, adding an experimental stat-tracking service for Steam players and more.

Now available for download as soon as you fire up your game, Borderlands Btest 1.42 includes the following features and improvements:

Patch notes:

• Implemented new opt-in stat-tracking service, BTest, for Steam players.
  • The result of ongoing work within Gearbox Labs, BTest is a limited-time experiment that offers you the chance to help us tune and improve our games.
  • By choosing to participate in BTest, you help us learn more about the world of Borderlands (what guns are the most popular and effective, what areas are being played the most, etc.) just by playing the game!
  • You will be able to compare your characters to your friends and other players throughout the world through the Gearbox Labs site.
  • For more information on BTest visit http://labs.gearboxsoftware.com
• Added new EULA and opt-in / opt-out menu choices for BTest functionality.
• Save games now sync with Steam Cloud for remote backup.

You can read more info about Btest here. I guess this was done not just to fine tune the original title but also to further improve the upcoming sequel of the game.
