This change adds an --enable-network-service command-line flag to run with
NetworkService enabled.
To test: Run `cefclient --enable-network-service --disable-extensions`. The
application should start, load a website and exit without crashing.
Network-related handlers (for cookies, schemes, requests, etc) and extensions
are not expected to work yet.
There should be no functional change when running without the NetworkService
enabled.
- Crash reporting is enabled and configured using a "crash_reporter.cfg"
file. See comments in include/cef_crash_util.h and tools/crash_server.py
for usage.
- Net security (CT, HSTS) expiration based on build age is now
disabled by default.
- Add new enable_net_security_expiration option to CefSettings and
CefRequestContextSettings.
- 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.
- Persist modified user preferences including per-host zoom settings when a
cache_path value is specified and persist_user_preferences is set to true
via CefSettings or CefRequestContextSettings.
- Avoid the need to duplicate files from chrome/ by having CefBrowserContext
extend Chrome's Profile class.
- Preferences are now associated with a CefRequestContext instead of
being stored globally.
- Add methods to CefRequestContext for getting/setting preferences.
- 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.
A system-wide installation of the Pepper Flash plugin is available from Adobe
for Windows and Mac OS X platforms as a separate download. To enable automatic
detection and loading of the system-wide installation pass the
`--enable-system-flash` command-line flag.
The Pepper Flash plugin can also be loaded by specifying the file path and
version via the `--ppapi-flash-path=<path> --ppapi-flash-version=<version>`
command-line flags. The version can be identified by viewing the
manifest.json file in the same directory as the Pepper Flash plugin library.
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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Change CefBrowserSettings members that previously used a boolean to instead use a cef_state_t enumeration with default, enabled and disabled states.
- Remove CefBrowserSettings members that are unlikely to be used and that can also be set using Chromium command-line switches.
- Change the CEF command-line switch naming pattern to match Chromium and move the implementation out of cefclient.
- Improve documentation by listing the command-line switch, if any, associated with each setting.
