Valve's been hard at work on upgrades to the Steam client recently, and that means testing those upgrades before they roll out and break your launcher. Normal stuff, right? Anyway, to that end they need more people to test it, so they're asking for that—and making it easier to do so, with a new one-click opt-in to testing.

Once the features ship to everyone on Steam, your client will be updated to the latest public version available," said Valve in anSteam's big public beta includes a revamped game overlay and notifications system. One system lets you use a whole new notes app, which you can use to record info about your game that'll be synced across your Steam clients.

The existing beta testers have been invaluable, says Valve, producing some great tweaks to the in-progress features. Those include a spell check toggle and cloud sync for game notes, a find-in-page for the web browser, soundtrack controls, enhancements to the controller configurator, and a"large hill of bug fixes" next to a"medium-sized hill of visual fixes and improvements."
