SteamVR:

• Added a limit to the number of times vrwebhelper will try to restart a part of the web UI if it crashes.
  
• Limited audio initialization in vrwebhelper to only happen when the UI has requested volume change events. This works around a rare crash for all the other pieces of UI.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the Valve Index Controller thumbstick to jump to the center between valid values.
  

SteamVR Home:

• Minor change to all default controller bindings to fix teleport and snap turn getting comingled if your thumb drifts
  

SteamVR Input:

• Fixed error with actions bound to trackpads returning scroll_wheel as the active component.
  

Valve Index Controller Firmware:

• Fixed a source of controller tracking dropouts.
  

The SteamVR Beta has been updated with the following changes. This build is a candidate for a full release and will likely roll out to everyone in the next few days.
