OpenXR:

SteamVR:

• Fixed oversized overlay scale for window views.
  
• DXGI_FORMAT_R16G16B16A16_UNORM (i.e. GL_RGBA16 on Windows) format textures are now correctly treated as containing linear color data when using ColorSpace_Auto.
  

OpenXR:

• XrViewConfigurationView maxImageRectWidth and maxImageRectHeight now report the global SteamVR setting MaxRecommendedResolution which defaults to 8192.
  
• xrEnumerateSwapchainFormats no longer returns the following formats on Linux as they are not properly supported: GL_RGBA16, GL_RGB16F, GL_RGB16F.

SteamVR:

• SteamVR Input bindings can now configure compatibility modes. Compatibility mode emulates a different controller’s properties, and can even return a different render model. This lets games that were targeted towards specific controller types be accessible to all controllers.
  

OpenXR:

• OpenXR titles can now be rebound using the binding UI.
  
• OpenXR bindings now allow selection of the “interaction profile” name. Some games may have actions that only work when using a specific interaction profile.
  
• Applied fix to allow for dead zones in between dpad input directions (wedgeAngle < pi and >= 0)
