SteamVR:

Fix for extended mode "Headset Window" not showing up in Window's taskbar.

Steam Link:

Enable 10-bit video encoding on AMD graphics cards with this capability. (AMD support is still experimental at this time.)
Enable “Advanced Supersample Filtering”. This improves video quality when using high supersampling rates. For users seeing poor video quality when not using “auto” settings, this will be a significant improvement.
Debug UI improvements.
Fixed an issue that made some networking lag worse than it should be by reducing the impact of stream resets in non-optimal wireless configurations.
Allow connection to proceed even in network configurations without QoS support.

Meta:

Re-enable “Advanced Supersample Filtering" for Meta headsets. This allows higher supersampling rates without causing aliasing in the HMD. This was accidentally disabled for Meta headsets as a side-effect of another change several years ago. If you enable advanced settings, there is a toggle for this in the video settings if you prefer the old behavior. Note: This does not affect Virtual Desktop.

OpenXR:

Fixed a memory leak where calling xrDestroySwapchain on a Vulkan swapchain would not free memory.
