Added the ability to block all communications from another user
Added an option to timestamp friends messages
Added an option to configure taskbar window flashing behavior on friends messages
Added background detection of game updates while Steam is running
Fixed backups failing for certain games, and made other improvements to it

Updating your client is simple, just select the "File" menu and choose "Check for Steam Client Updates", then let your client take care of the rest. Now, where's the next game updates?
