Split the Alloy runtime into bootstrap and style components. Support
creation of Alloy style browsers and windows with the Chrome runtime.
Chrome runtime (`--enable-chrome-runtime`) + Alloy style
(`--use-alloy-style`) supports Views (`--use-views`), native parent
(`--use-native`) and windowless rendering
(`--off-screen-rendering-enabled`).
Print preview is supported in all cases except with windowless rendering
on all platforms and native parent on MacOS. It is disabled by default
with Alloy style for legacy compatibility. Where supported it can be
enabled or disabled globally using `--[enable|disable]-print-preview` or
configured on a per-RequestContext basis using the
`printing.print_preview_disabled` preference. It also behaves as
expected when triggered via the PDF viewer print button.
Chrome runtime + Alloy style behavior differs from Alloy runtime in the
following significant ways:
- Supports Chrome error pages by default.
- DevTools popups are Chrome style only (cannot be windowless).
- The Alloy extension API will not supported.
Chrome runtime + Alloy style passes all expected Alloy ceftests except
the following:
- `DisplayTest.AutoResize` (Alloy extension API not supported)
- `DownloadTest.*` (Download API not yet supported)
- `ExtensionTest.*` (Alloy extension API not supported)
This change also adds Chrome runtime support for
CefContextMenuHandler::RunContextMenu (see #3293).
This change also explicitly blocks (and doesn't retry) FrameAttached
requests from PDF viewer and print preview excluded frames (see #3664).
Known issues specific to Chrome runtime + Alloy style:
- DevTools popup with windowless rendering doesn't load successfully.
Use windowed rendering or remote debugging as a workaround.
- Chrome style Window with Alloy style BrowserView (`--use-alloy-style
--use-chrome-style-window`) does not show Chrome theme changes.
To test:
- Run `ceftests --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style
[--use-chrome-style-window] [--use-views|--use-native]
--gtest_filter=...`
- Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style
[--use-chrome-style-window]
[--use-views|--use-native|--off-screen-rendering-enabled]`
- Run `cefsimple --enable-chrome-runtime --use-alloy-style [--use-views]`
The client can optionally wait or terminate the render process.
Expose process exit codes via OnRenderProcessTerminated and
CefGetExitCode (fixes#2126).
cefclient: Add a new https://tests/hang page for testing hang behavior.
cefclient: Move message and resource handling to a new BaseClientHandler
class to support loading of test pages in default Chrome UI windows.
- Adds `--initial-show-state=hidden` support for cefclient and cefsimple
where the window launches as initially hidden (no dock thumbnail).
- Adds `--hide-window-on-close` support for cefclient where clicking the
red traffic light button hides the window instead of closing it.
Adds a new CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnAlreadyRunningAppRelaunch
callback for when an already running app is relaunched with the
same CefSettings.root_cache_path.
Client apps should check the CefInitialize() return value for early
exit of the relaunch source process.
A modal dialog is a child CefWindow that implements some special behaviors
relative to a parent CefWindow. Like any CefWindow it can be framed with
titlebar or frameless, and optionally contain draggable regions (subject to
platform limitations described below). Modal dialogs are shown centered on
the parent window (inside a single display) and always stay on top of the
parent window in z-order. Sizing behavior and available window buttons are
controlled via the usual CefWindowDelegate callbacks. For example, the dialog
can have a preferred size with resize, minimize and maximize disabled (via
GetPreferredSize, CanResize, CanMinimize and CanMaximize respectively).
This change adds support for two modality modes. With window modality all
controls in the parent window are disabled. With browser modality only the
browser view in the parent window is disabled.
Both modality modes require that a valid parent window be returned via
GetParentWindow. For window modality return true from IsWindowModalDialog
and call CefWindow::Show. For browser modality return false from
IsWindowModalDialog (the default value) and call
CefWindow::ShowAsBrowserModalDialog with a reference to the parent window's
browser view.
Window modal dialog behavior depends on the platform. On Windows and
Linux these dialogs have a titlebar and can be moved independent of the
parent window. On macOS these dialogs do not have a titlebar, move with
the parent window, and do not support draggable regions (because they are
implemented using sheets). On Linux disabling the parent window controls
requires a window manager the supports _NET_WM_STATE_MODAL.
Browser modal dialog behavior is similar on all platforms. The dialog will
be automatically sized and positioned relative to the parent window's
browser view. Closing the parent window or navigating the parent browser
view will dismiss the dialog. The dialog can also be moved independent of
the parent window though it will be recentered when the parent window
itself is resized or redisplayed. On MacOS the dialog will move along with
the parent window while on Windows and Linux the parent window can be moved
independently.
To test: Use the Tests > Dialog Window menu option in cefclient with Views
enabled (`--use-views` or `--enable-chrome-runtime` command-line flag).
Browser modal dialog is the default behavior. For window modal dialog add
the `--use-window-modal-dialog` command-line flag.
This change provides a generic solution for active (key) window tracking that
works with both Views-hosted and native windows on MacOS. With this new approach
we can now successfully route top menu actions to the currently active window.
Prior to this change CEF's Views API was using focus notifications as a proxy
for window activation notifications. That doesn't work on MacOS where NSWindow
activation (key status) is independent of NSView focus (first responder) status,
and changes in activation don't necessarily generate focus notifications (see
NativeWidgetMac::OnWindowKeyStatusChanged). To make this work reliably on all
platforms we now expose a CefWindowDelegate::OnWindowActivationChanged callback.
This change also fixes an uninitialized variable
(RootWindowMacImpl::with_extension_) that was causing flaky behavior in
RootWindowManager::OnRootWindowActivated.
To test:
1. Run `cefclient [--use-views]`
2. Select Popup Window from the Tests menu. Do not explicitly activate the popup
window (e.g. don't click on it).
3. Verify that further Tests menu actions go to the popup window.
4. Change activation to a first window by clicking on it. Verify that Test
menu actions go to that window.
5. Close the currently active window. Do not explicitly activate the remaining
window (e.g. don't click on it).
6. Verify that Test menu actions go to the only remaining window.
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.
- Convert scoped_ptr to std::unique_ptr from <memory>
- Convert arraysize to base::size from include/base/cef_cxx17_backports.h
- Convert NULL to nullptr
- Include include/base/cef_callback.h instead of include/base/cef_bind.h
- Implicit conversion of CefRefPtr<T> or scoped_refptr<T> to T* is gone;
use .get() instead
See the issue for additional details.
This change moves shared resource initialization to a common location and
disables crash reporting initialization in chrome/ code via patch files.
When using the Chrome runtime on macOS the Chrome application window will
display, but web content is currently blank and the application does not
exit cleanly. This will need to be debugged further in the future.
Under ARC (Automatic Reference Counting), assigning to an Objective-C
pointer has different semantics than assigning to a void* pointer.
This makes it dangerous to treat the same memory address as an
Objective-C pointer in some cases and as a "regular C pointer" in
other cases.
This change removes the conditional type defines and instead uses
void* everywhere. Explicit type casting in combination with ARC
annotations makes it safe to get typed Objective-C pointers from the
void* pointers.
This change enables ARC by default in the CEF binary distribution CMake
configuration for the cefclient and cefsimple sample applications. It can be
disabled by adding `-DOPTION_USE_ARC=Off` to the CMake command line.
ARC is not supported when building Chromium due to the substantial
number of changes that would be required in the Chromium code base.
- 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 new CefBrowserHost::SetAccessibilityState method for toggling
accessibility state when readers are detected by the client.
- Add new CefAccessibilityHandler interface for the delivery of
accessibility notifications to windowless (OSR) clients.
- Fix delivery of CefFocusHandler callbacks to windowless clients.
- cefclient: Add example windowless accessibility implementation on Windows and macOS.
- cefclient: Automatically detect screen readers on Windows and macOS.
- 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.
- Add new CefSettings.external_message_pump option and
CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnScheduleMessagePumpWork() callback.
- Improve documentation related to CefDoMessageLoopWork().
- Pass `--external-message-pump` command-line flag to cefclient or
cef_unittests to test the new mode.
- 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.
- CefRequestContext instances can be configured using a new CefRequestContextSettings structure passed to CefRequestContext::CreateContext.
- Scheme registration is now per-request-context using new CefRequestContext::RegisterSchemeHandlerFactory and ClearSchemeHandlerFactories methods.
- Cookie managers are now per-request-context by default and can be retrieved using a new CefRequestContext::GetDefaultCookieManager method.
- CefURLRequest::Create now accepts an optional CefRequestContext argument for associating a URL request with a context (browser process only).
- The CefRequestContextHandler associated with a CefRequestContext will not be released until all objects related to that context have been destroyed.
- When the cache path is empty an in-memory cache ("incognito mode") will be used for storage and no data will be persisted to disk.
- Add CefSettings.user_data_path which specifies the location where user data such as spell checking dictionary files will be stored on disk.
- Add asynchronous callbacks for all CefCookieManager methods.
- Add PK_LOCAL_APP_DATA and PK_USER_DATA path keys for retrieving user directories via CefGetPath.
- cefclient: Add "New Window" test that creates a new window unrelated to existing windows. When used in combination with `--request-context-per-browser` the new window will be given a new and isolated request context.

- cefclient: Show an alert box when selecting Tests > Popup Window while running in off-screen rendering mode.
- cefclient: Mac: Enable/disable UX buttons to match loading state.

- The |dirtyRects| argument to CefRenderHandler::OnPaint is now a single rectangle representing the union of all dirty rectangles since the last frame was generated. In most cases this rectangle will be smaller than the view (frame) size.
- cefclient: Use a ScopedGLContext class on all platforms to manage the current GL context and avoid GL state leaks.
- cefclient: Add debug checks in ClientOSRenderer for GL errors and fix some errors that were discovered.
- cefclient: Add a new `--show-update-rect` command-line flag that provides visualization of the update rectangle by drawing a red border around it for each frame.
git-svn-id: https://chromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1945 5089003a-bbd8-11dd-ad1f-f1f9622dbc98
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.
