Last Night's Steam Client Update Brought New Gift Notifcations and ... Coupons?

[Shawn Zipay]

In addition to last night's Steam client update bringing about an improved system for notifying you when you have a pending gift or friend invite, it also added support for Steam coupons. What are Steam coupons? Your guess is as good as mine right now. Valve has set up a knowledge base article for the system but doesn't specify how you acquire said coupons or what they look like.

The full list of changes from the recent client update are below. Above, you can see what the gift management system looks like alongside the new notification area on your Steam client.

- Added notification area in the main Steam window when receiving new Steam gifts, invites or coupons
- Added tray notifications for new items & new pending gifts
- Changed most options for sending/accepting gifts to be managed from the Steam Inventory
- Fixed missing CD-Key dialog for games with multiple launch options
- Fixed cloud upload failures for some games when users are near their quota
- Fixed downloading new update while game is still running
- Fixed bug that could impact content patching on Mac OSX.
- Fixed creating empty folders in some cases
- Fixed keeping "Do not automatically update this game" setting
- Fixed bug updating Game Settings -> Automatic Updates (New content download system only)
- Fixed creating backup folders for games with trailing spaces in their name
- Fixed reading backups for games converted to new content system

Just more ways to take a huge dump on Origin, keep at it Valve.
