This functionality stopped being relevant after the removal of Flash support
in January 2021. The last remaining PPAPI plugin (PDF viewer) will switch to
a non-plugin implementation (PdfUnseasoned) in M100.
This fixes warnings when compiling with `-Wstrict-prototypes`.
Functions with empty parameter lists behave differently in C and C++:
- void func() in C is same as void func(...) in C++.
- void func() in C++ is same as void func(void) in C.
To test:
Run `cefclient.exe --use-views --hide-frame --hide-controls`
Add `--enable-chrome-runtime` for the same behavior using the Chrome location
bar instead of a text field.
The cef_api_hash.h file was previously only updated when the translator tool
was run manually. Forgetting to run the translator tool after changing
include/internal/cef_types*.h files would result in cef_parser.py
incorrectly computing the CEF minor version number for future builds. By
updating this file automatically at build time the number of errors should be
reduced.
The optional |extra_info| parameter provides an opportunity to specify extra
information specific to the created browser that will be passed to
CefRenderProcessHandler::OnBrowserCreated() in the render process.
This splits out the API hashes from the cef_version.h file which is generated at
build time. Changes to the cef_api_hash.h file are committed to the repo and
represent potentially breaking API changes. This commit history will be used to
calculate the version number.
- Add CefRequestContext::LoadExtension, CefExtension, CefExtensionHandler and
related methods/interfaces.
- Add chrome://extensions-support that lists supported Chrome APIs.
- Add CefBrowserHost::SetAutoResizeEnabled and CefDisplayHandler::OnAutoResize
to support browser resize based on preferred web contents size.
- views: Add support for custom CefMenuButton popups.
- cefclient: Run with `--load-extension=set_page_color` command-line flag for
an extension loading example. Add `--use-views` on Windows and Linux for an
even better example.
- Add Views header files in a new include/views directory.
- Add initial top-level window (CefWindow), control (CefBrowserView,
CefLabelButton, CefMenuButton, CefPanel, CefScrollView,
CefTextfield) and layout (CefBoxLayout, CefFlowLayout) support.
See libcef/browser/views/view_impl.h comments for implementation
details.
- Add Views example usage in cefclient and cefsimple and Views unit
tests in cef_unittests. Pass the `--use-views` command-line flag to
cefclient, cefsimple and cef_unittests to run using the Views
framework instead of platform APIs. For cefclient and cefsimple
this will create the browser window and all related functionality
using the Views framework. For cef_unittests this will run all
tests (except OSR tests) in a Views-based browser window. Views-
specific unit tests (`--gtest_filter=Views*`) will be run even if
the the `--use-views` flag is not specified.
- Pass the `--hide-frame` command-line flag to cefclient to demo a
frameless Views-based browser window.
- Pass the `--hide-controls` command-line flag to cefclient to demo a
browser window without top controls. This also works in non-Views
mode.
- Pass the `--enable-high-dpi-support` command-line flag to
cef_unittests on Windows to test high-DPI support on a display
that supports it.
- Add CefImage for reading/writing image file formats.
- Add CefBrowser::DownloadImage() for downloading image URLs as a
CefImage representation. This is primarily for loading favicons.
- Add CefMenuModel::CreateMenuModel() and CefMenuModelDelegate for
creating custom menus. This is primarily for use with
CefMenuButton.
- Add CefBrowser::TryCloseBrowser() helper for closing a browser.
Also improve related documentation in cef_life_span_handler.h.
- Rename cef_page_range_t to cef_range_t. It is now also used by
CefTextfield.
- Remove CefLifeSpanHandler::RunModal() which is never called.
- Add draggable regions example to cefclient.
- Default plugin loading policy can be specified using the new
`--plugin-policy=[allow|block|detect]` command-line flag.
- Move CefRequestHandler::OnBeforePluginLoad to
CefRequestContextHandler and add a new policy argument that
supports different actions (allow, block, detect, disable) on a
per-plugin-instance basis.
- Add CefContextMenuHandler::RunContextMenu for providing a custom
context menu implementation.
- Add CefResourceBundleHandler::GetDataResourceForScale for
returning scaled resources (issue #1272).
- Add CefResourceBundle for retrieving resources from the resource
bundle (*.pak) files loaded by CEF during startup or via the
CefResourceBundleHandler.
- Linux: Fix Debug build IO access warning with CefGetMimeType.
- cef_unittests: Move the refcounting implementation from TestHandler
to subclasses in order to support interface inheritance from
subclasses.
- Support single parent inheritance in CEF API classes.
- Support non-virtual inheritance in CEF API classes.
- Support translation of CEF API sub-directories.
- Add test sub-directories for testing-only functionality that will be
available to unit tests but not exposed via the binary distribution.
- Add unit tests for the translator tool.
- Fix parsing of template parameter types that include commas.
This implementation supports both GPU compositing and software compositing (used when GPU is not supported or when passing `--disable-gpu --disable-gpu-compositing` command-line flags). GPU-accelerated features (WebGL and 3D CSS) that did not work with the previous off-screen rendering implementation do work with this implementation when GPU support is available.
Rendering now operates on a per-frame basis. The frame rate is configurable via CefBrowserSettings.windowless_frame_rate up to a maximum of 60fps (potentially limited by how fast the system can generate new frames). CEF generates a bitmap from the compositor backing and passes it to CefRenderHandler::OnPaint.
The previous CefRenderHandler/CefBrowserHost API for off-screen rendering has been restored mostly as-is with some minor changes:
- CefBrowserHost::Invalidate no longer accepts a CefRect region argument. Instead of invalidating a specific region it now triggers generation of a new frame.
- The |dirtyRects| argument to CefRenderHandler::OnPaint will now always be a single CefRect representing the whole view (frame) size. Previously, invalidated regions were listed separately.
- Linux: CefBrowserHost::SendKeyEvent now expects X11 event information instead of GTK event information. See cefclient for an example of converting GTK events to the necessary format.
- Sizes passed to the CefRenderHandler OnPaint and OnPopupSize methods are now already DPI scaled. Previously, the client had to perform DPI scaling.
- Includes drag&drop implementation from issue #1032.
- Includes unit test fixes from issue #1245.
