SteamVR

• Allow Desktop View to interact with higher elevation processes. To enable this functionality, be sure to install the SteamVR Service when prompted.
  

Linux

• Fixed issue that would prevent some system UI from working some of the time.
  

OpenXR

• Implement XR_HTCX_vive_tracker_interaction extension
  
• Properly switch to XR_SESSION_STATE_IDLE when hmd activity level is idle
  
• Fix for session state changes (XrEventDataSessionStateChanged) not being sent to the app when detecting hmd worn status with Oculus hmds
  

SteamVR:

• Added support for Tundra Labs Tracker.
  
• Reduced SteamVR install size.
  
• Fixed slight alignment issue with the left Index grip pose.
  

OpenXR:

• Use application provided function pointer to vkGetInstanceProcAddr when calling xrCreateDevice in XR_KHR_vulkan_enable2 extension.
  
• Translate Vive Cosmos and HP Reverb G2 abxy+trigger touch to "click", matching native runtime's behavior.
  
• Emulate Cosmos grip (defined in the spec as "squeeze/click") when using the Oculus interaction profile, since Oculus' interaction profile doesn't have an equivalent "/squeeze/click" component path. This matches the Beta ViveOpenXR runtime behavior.
  
• Emulate thumbstick touch for Reverb G2 controllers if the oculus controller profile is active (such as when the app doesn't send any specific Reverb G2 controller bindings).
  
• Add missing thumbstick touch (.../input/thumbstick/touch) input component path for Cosmos controllers.
