Pass a new |popup_id| parameter to OnBeforePopup and call a new
OnBeforePopupAborted callback if the popup is aborted before
OnAfterCreated is called for the popup browser. Add new
CefBrowserHost::GetBrowserByIdentifier and GetOpenerIdentifier
methods to assist with retrieval of associated browsers.
In cefclient, clean up state when a popup is aborted and close
any associated popup browsers when the opener browser is closed.
This also works when running with `--use-default-popup`.
When the V8 sandbox is enabled, ArrayBuffer backing stores must be
allocated inside the sandbox address space. This change introduces a new
CefV8Value::CreateArrayBufferWithCopy method that copies the memory
contents into the sandbox address space.
Enabling the V8 sandbox can have a performance impact, especially when
passing large ArrayBuffers from C++ code to the JS side. We have therefore
retained the old CefV8Value::CreateArrayBuffer method that references
external memory. However, this method can only be used if the V8 sandbox is
disabled at CEF/Chromium build time.
To disable the V8 sandbox add `v8_enable_sandbox=false` to
`GN_DEFINES` when building CEF/Chromium.
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.
The cefclient sample app on Windows will persist window state across application
restart if run with cache_path and persist_user_references enabled.
To test:
1. Run `cefclient --cache-path=/path/to/cache --persist-user-preferences`
2. Move or resize the window, maximize, minimize, etc.
3. Exit cefclient.
4. Run cefclient again with the same arguments. The previous window state will
be restored.
Custom global and request context preferences can now be registered via
CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnRegisterCustomPreferences. CefRequestContext
now extends CefPreferenceManager and global preferences can be accessed
via CefPreferenceManager::GetGlobalPreferenceManager.
Change the default stack size to 8 MiB for 64-bit and 0.5 MiB for 32-bit.
CEF's main thread needs at least a 1.5 MiB stack size in order to avoid
stack overflow crashes. However, if this is set in the PE file then other
threads get this size as well, leading to address-space exhaustion in 32-bit
CEF. A new CefRunWinMainWithPreferredStackSize function uses fibers to switch
the main thread to a 4 MiB stack (roughly the same effective size as the
64-bit build's 8 MiB stack) before running any other code.
This change additionally moves the existing Windows-only functions
CefSetOSModalLoop and CefEnableHighDPISupport from cef_app.h to cef_win.h.
On Windows these new CefDisplay methods convert between screen pixel coordinates
and screen DIP coordinates. On macOS and Linux these methods just return a copy
of the input coordinates.
CefSharedProcessMessageBuilder supports creation of a CefProcessMessage
backed by a CefSharedMemoryRegion.
Performance tests comparing the existing ArgumentList approach and the new
SharedMemoryRegion approach have been added to cefclient at
http://tests/ipc_performance.
CefMessageRouter has been updated to use SharedMemoryRegion as transport
for larger message payloads. The threshold is configurable via
|CefMessageRouterConfig.message_size_threshold|.
To test:
run `ceftests --gtest_filter=SendSharedProcessMessageTest.*:SharedProcessMessageTest.*:MessageRouterTest.Threshold*`
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.
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.
Widevine CDM binaries will be downloaded on supported platforms shortly after
application startup. Widevine support will then become available within a few
seconds after successful installation on Windows or after the next application
restart on other platforms. The CDM files will be downloaded to a "WidevineCdm"
directory inside the `CefSettings.user_data_path` directory.
Pass the `--disable-component-update` command-line flag to disable Widevine
download and installation. Pass the `--component-updater=fast-update` command-
line flag to force Widevine download immediately after application startup.

- 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.
With the Chrome runtime, Profile initialization may be asynchronous. Code that
waited on CefBrowserContext creation now needs to wait on CefBrowserContext
initialization instead.
