A new Steam beta client has kicked off and this one packs in a number of interesting new features.
A newly added "your account" link on the Steam storefront (top right) let's you browse what game licenses you have added to your account, and your list of recent purchases.
This is only a beta, so if you opt-in to the experience, be sure and report any bugs you come across. To opt-in, go to your Steam settings and under "Beta participation" change it to the "Steam Client Candidate".
