SteamVR:

• Replaced “safe mode” with finer grained control over individual add-ons. After a crash, users will still see some add-ons are “blocked”, but they can be unblocked individually to determine which ones are causing incompatibility.
  
• By turning on “advanced” settings, users can find “Manage Add-ons” under “Startup/Shutdown” settings and disable any add-ons they are no longer using.
  
• Fixed a crash in Steam that could happen when SteamVR was running.
  
• Fix a case where parts of the settings UI or dashboard could become unresponsive until a SteamVR restart.
  

Valve Index:

• Increase default brightness to 130% for all users with up-to-date firmware. Brightness can be adjusted (up or down) in the Video settings tab.
  

SteamVR Home:

• Added callout to new HL:Alyx environments to Index owners, and reminded them they can create public rooms with them.
  

This build is a candidate for a full release and will likely roll out to everyone in the next few days.
