- The |category| value for all TRACE calls from CEF client applications is now
"cef.client" due to https://crrev.com/331266377d.
- The |with_menu_marker| parameter to CreateMenuButton has been removed due to
https://crrev.com/7f7e382118.
Known issues:
- The CefLoadCRLSetsFile function needs to be re-implemented (see issue #2497).
- Linux: GTK2 support has been removed. The cefclient sample needs to be updated
to use GTK3 (see issue #2014).
- Remove |accept_lang| parameter from CefJSDialogHandler::OnJSDialog
and CefFormatUrlForSecurityDisplay (see https://crbug.com/336973#c36).
- Remove remaining NPAPI-related code including functions from
cef_web_plugin.h (see https://crbug.com/493212#c55).
- Mac: 10.7+ deployment target is now required for client applications.
- Mac: Remove CefBrowserHost::SetWindowVisibility (issue #1375). No
replacement is required for windowed rendering. Use WasHidden for
off-screen rendering.
- Windows: Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 is now required when building
CEF/Chromium.
- Introduce native/ and osr/ folders for native (non-platform-agnostic) and
osr (windowless) code respectively.
- Introduce CefBrowserPlatformDelegate for abstracting platform-specific
implementations of browser host functionality.
- Move dialog and menu code to separate manager and platform-specific runner
implementations exposed via CefBrowserPlatformDelegate.
- Standardize focus-handling behavior between windowed and windowless
implementations. CefFocusHandler::OnSetFocus() will now also be called for
osr focus changes.
- Support multiple simultaneous popups (issue #1289).
- Improve ordering of CefLoadHandler callbacks. OnLoadingStateChange will
be called before and after all calls to OnLoadStart and OnLoadEnd.
OnLoadStart/OnLoadEnd calls will occur as matching pairs
(see http://crbug.com/539952#c2).
- Remove the |requesting_url| argument to CefGeolocationHandler::
OnCancelGeolocationPermission. Clients can use the |request_id| argument
to track this information themselves.
- Fix a crash when loading the PDF extension in multiple browsers with a
custom CefRequestContext (issue #1757).
- 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)
- 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.
- Windows/Mac: Use `--enable-widevine-cdm` command-line flag to
enable download of CDM binaries via the component updater.
- Linux: Use `--widevide-cdm-path` and `--widevine-cdm-version`
command-line flags to load CDM binaries that already exist on
the system.
- A cache-path value is usually required when CDM is enabled.
This includes:
- Red underline of misspelled words in html text areas.
- Right-click context menu options to correct the misspelled word.
- New CefBrowser::ReplaceMisspelling method for accepting a word replacement.
- Methods added to CefContextMenuParams for retrieving spelling-related information.
- Uses the unified text checker when auto-correct is not enabled to match Google Chrome behavior.
- On Windows and Linux a hunspell dictionary file will be downloaded to the "<cache_path>/Dictionaries" directory as needed, or used from the <cache_path> directory if the file already exists there. The dictionary file will be downloaded from http://cache.pack.google.com/edgedl/chrome/dict/<LANG>-3-0.bdic where <LANG> is the language abbreviation.
- On OS X the spell checking implementation will use the system NSSpellChecker implementation.
The following command-line flags have been added:
--disable-spell-checking => Disable spell-checking support (no red underline, no dictionary file download, etc).
--enable-spelling-auto-correct => Automatically correct common misspellings while typing (like 'omre' to 'more' on Windows/Linux or 'ehlo' to 'helo' on OS X).
--enable-spelling-service => Enable use of the remote Google spelling service (this requires Google API keys).
--override-spell-check-lang=<LANG> => Use the specified dictionary language <LANG> instead of the language specified in the locales.pak file.

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.

- The CefSettings.release_dcheck_enabled option has been removed. This functionality can be enabled by setting the dcheck_always_on=1 gyp variable before building CEF/Chromium. See http://crbug.com/350462 for details.
- The UR_FLAG_ALLOW_COOKIES option has been removed and the functionality has been merged into UR_FLAG_ALLOW_CACHED_CREDENTIALS.
- Mac: [NSApplication sharedApplication] should no longer be called in the renderer process. See http://crbug.com/306348 for details.
