Our IRC bot has been merged with the updater that keeps this site up to date and has been renamed to "Steam Database Backend" which can be found on GitHub. As part of this merging process, most of the code has been rewritten to fix some bugs, improve readability and performance.
First day of summer sale was quite crazy not only for Valve, but us too.
You can now directly go to an app/sub if you know it's ID. Simply press ctrl+enter to go to the app page or ctrl+shift+enter to go to the sub page for the ID you entered.
Depots are no longer available through PICS (minus depot 7 and 8), this meant we were stuck with a whole lot of apps that would never get updated again. Old depot pages will display history and what subs they are included in (if available).

Not a lot of changes today, major history updates though (which I'm sure some of you will like).
