* Container runtime (public stable branch only): https://steamdb.info/app/1391110/history/
## Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 (soldier) depot 0.20230919.60633 (Steampipe build ID tbd)
*contains [steam-runtime-tools 0.20230919.0](https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steam-runtime-tools/-/tags/v0.20230919.0), built using [flatdeb-steam 0.20230621.0](https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/flatdeb-steam/-/tags/v0.20230621.0); steamrt/tasks#328*
### Platform libraries
* Update packages from Debian 10 LTS:
* libssh2 (CVE-2019-13115, CVE-2019-17498, CVE-2020-22218)
* libwebp (CVE-2023-4863)
* Update SDL from the 2.28.x branch, fixing detection of some driving simulation steering wheels
### Container runtime
* Use a fully-resolved path when pointing to Vulkan drivers' and layers' JSON manifests, fixing broken symlinks when running under Flatpak (steamrt/steam-runtime-tools#124)
* Try to avoid duplicating Vulkan drivers and layers, by marking their manifests with the `library_arch` parameter where appropriate. In particular this fixes loading of released MangoHud versions under Flatpak ([steam-runtime#618](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/618))
* Avoid searching `~/.local/share` for Vulkan drivers twice if it resolves to the same path as `$XDG_DATA_HOME`, so that drivers in this directory will not get duplicated
* Metadata update: change the name used internally for the compatibility tool to match the name used in the Steam Library
### Diagnostic tools
* Fix an incorrect use of VA-API that can cause an assertion failure in debug builds of Mesa (steam-runtime-tools#117). Thanks to David Rosca
* Fix an incorrect use of VA-API that can cause the check to fail with non-Mesa drivers. Thanks to Emil Velikov
* Avoid searching `~/.local/share` for Vulkan drivers twice if it resolves to the same path as `$XDG_DATA_HOME`, so that drivers in this directory will not be diagnosed as duplicates
* Fix a gradual memory leak while running `steam-runtime-input-monitor`
* Log a warning if machine-readable output cannot be closed
### SDK
* `sdl2-config` is now compatible with setting `CC` to a compiler that doesn't support the `-print-multiarch` option
## Metadata update, 2023-09-07
The user-visible title of the compatibility tool is now `Steam Linux Runtime 2.0 (soldier)`. This is the same thing that was previously labelled `Steam Linux Runtime - soldier`: only the name has changed. The installation directory is still `steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier`.
