Add support for building the CEF binary distribution using Bazel
and the default platform toolchain. Tested to work for Windows
x64, MacOS ARM64 and x64 (cross-compile from ARM64), and
Linux x64. Windows x86 (cross-compile from x64) is known to
be broken, see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/22164.
Includes minor changes to tests directory structure to meet
Bazel build requirements.
- Windows: SDK version 10.0.20348.0 is now required.
- MacOS: SDK version 12.3 (Xcode 13.3) is now required.
- Legacy swiftshader binaries (`swiftshader/*` on Win/Linux and
`libswiftshader_*.dylib` on MacOS) have been removed (see issue #3176).
Chrome currently uses chrome_100_percent.pak, chrome_200_percent.pak,
resources.pak and locales/<locale>.pak files. This change adds CEF
resources to those existing pak files and updates the Alloy runtime to
use them instead of the previous CEF-specific pak files (cef.pak,
cef_100_percent.pak, cef_200_percent.pak, cef_extensions.pak,
devtools_resources.pak) which are no longer generated.
The addition of Chrome resources results in an ~16% (~4.1MB) increase in total
combined pak file size vs. the previous CEF-specific pak files. While a size
increase is not ideal for the Alloy runtime, it seems preferable to the
alternative of distributing separate (and partially duplicated) pak files for
each runtime, which would have added ~9.8MB to the total binary distribution
size.
Requires Xcode 12.2 and the MacOS 11.0 SDK. To generate ARM64 builds set
the CEF_ENABLE_ARM64=1 environment variable and replace all usage of
--x64-build with --arm64-build in script command-line arguments.
- Move all tests from the top-level directory to tests/.
- Move files shared by cefclient and unittests to tests/shared/.
- Add a fused (single header/source file) version of gtest in
tests/gtest/ with associated CMake configuration.
- Test-only headers are now exposed in include/test/. Unit test
targets must define UNIT_TEST in order to access them.
- Replace usage of USING_CEF_SHARED with WRAPPING_CEF_SHARED for
clarity (only the libcef_dll_wrapper target should define it).
- Remove the RENAME_DIRECTORY CMake macro which is no longer used.
- Remove C++11 usage from unittests sources for compatibility with
the binary distribution configuration.
- Windows: Fix build errors due to chrome_elf.dll and imm32.lib
missing from the CMake configuration.
- Load CEF configuration using `find_package(CEF)`.
- Use per-target configuration via a new SET_EXECUTABLE_TARGET_PROPERTIES
macro instead of setting global CMAKE_* variables.
- Support building projects more easily with an external binary
distribution directory.
- Improve related documentation.
- Implement CefRequestHandler::OnBeforeBrowse using NavigationThrottle
instead of ResourceThrottle (see http://crbug.com/537634). The CefRequest
object passed to OnBeforeBrowse will no longer have an associated request
identifier.
- Mac: Remove additional helper apps which are no longer required (see
http://crbug.com/520680)
- Remove the UR_FLAG_REPORT_RAW_HEADERS flag which is no longer supported (see
http://crbug.com/517114)
- Remove the CefBrowserSettings.java parameter. Java is an NPAPI plugin and
NPAPI plugins are no longer supported (see http://crbug.com/470301#c11)
- Add CefFormatUrlForSecurityDisplay function in cef_parser.h
- Fix crash when passing `--disable-extensions` command-line flag (issue #1721)
- Linux: Fix NSS handler loading (issue #1727)
- Add new libpdf.so library on Linux and PDF.plugin app bundle on OS X.
- Move scaled resources from cef.pak into separate cef_100_percent.pak and cef_200_percent.pak files.
- Password-protected PDF files are not currently supported.
- No fallback is provided for PDF files that contain unsupported features.

- Add new CefSettings.windowless_rendering_enabled value that must be enabled when using windowless (off-screen) rendering.
- Improve naming and documentation for CefWindowInfo members.
- CefBeginTracing now completes asynchronously.
- Rename CefEndTracingAsync to CefEndTracing.
- Rename CefCompletionHandler to CefCompletionCallback.

- General usage instructions are available at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/testing/webkit-layout-tests/using-breakpad-with-content-shell.
- Mac: Generate "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" using a new cef_framework target (the libcef target is now only used on Windows and Linux). Rename "Libraries/libcef.dylib" to "Chromium Embedded Framework". Distribute Release and Debug builds of the "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" folder as part of the binary distribution.
- Mac: Fix the Xcode target compiler setting for the binary distribution so that it no longer needs to be set manually.

- Windows: Change the directory and build structure to match other platforms.
- Windows: Create archives of both Debug and Release symbols.
- Windows: Create a separate archive for documentation.
- Add a new "client" mode flag that creates a distribution of cefclient.
- Add "no-docs" and "no-archive" flags.
- Break README.txt files into separate components that can be shared between platforms and distribution modes.
