(VGUI2 was a thing when Steam Beta/Tracker was introduced in 2002 (VGUI2.dll can be also seen on game files). It is only used for the Half-Life Desktop/Tracker overlay at the time, before upgraded again in 2003.)

VGUI was introduced with May 25, 2000 update (1.1.0.0), used for new Scoreboard (replacing old Opposing Force/text-based scoreboard), and the console & chat font was also changed.
In 2002, the late WON build around 1.1.0.9 was the first version to support Steam Beta (and Tracker). Most users at the time did not use Steam Beta and install Steam Tracker so players will see "Tracker Error: TrackerUI.dll invalid, not loading", however user was able to open Half-Life Desktop overlay by pressing F1, providing limited functionality (Resume and Quit game option only) for those who did not have Steam Beta installed. VGUI2 was also introduced at the same time with Steam Beta, and used for Tracker feature aswell.

v1.1.x.x/SDK v2.0[confirm] v30 .bsp, v10 .mdl [confirm]
Starting with this version, game files are no longer packaged inside .pak files, and instead either stored directly on filesystem, or stored in .gcf files prior to SteamPipe.
This version is compatible with most games/mods built on WON/Retail version (many speedrunners often use 2001 WON client/server.dll on 2005 version of Half-Life).
Note.pngNote:* - Initially at launch, Steam Friends is a instant messaging feature, allowing player to chat with friends, or play minigames (Parlor Games) with friends. Later it was updated in January 2006 with Friends v2 (aka Friends Beta), which removes Parlor Games and relies on newer Steam API. The Friends menu option was later removed around July 2007 as Steam Overlay replaced most of it's feature.
The first version of Friends no longer works as the old Steam server for this version was offline, while Friends v2 still partially works with latest Steam client, but buggy (message will only shown on Steam client and will not appear in-game).
