This change replaces existing CefSettings.user_data_path usage with
CefSettings.root_cache_path for better alignment with the Chrome runtime.
All files should now be written inside the root_cache_path directory.
- mac: Xcode 14.0 with macOS SDK 13.0 is now required.
- Remove CefRequestHandler::OnQuotaRequest because persistent quota is no
longer supported (see https://crbug.com/1208141)
This service is required by the "PermissionOnDeviceNotificationPredictions"
feature which is enabled by default in https://crbug.com/1350956. It uses a
Google backend service as described at https://go.dev/solutions/google/chrome.
This change removes the usage of PredictionBasedPermissionUiSelector, which
triggered this dependency, along with related startup complexity that was added
to support the optimization/prediction service in the M106 update.
- 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).
All file dialogs irrespective of source, platform and runtime will now be
routed through CefFileDialogManager and trigger CefDialogHandler callbacks
(see issue #3293).
Adds Chrome runtime support for CefBrowserHost::RunFileDialog and
CefDialogHandler callbacks.
Adds Alloy runtime support for internal GTK file and print dialogs on Linux
subject to the following limitations:
1. Internal GTK implementation:
- Cannot be used with multi-threaded-message-loop because Chromium's
internal GTK implementation is not thread-safe (does not use GDK threads).
- Dialogs will not be modal to application windows when used with off-screen
rendering due to lack of access to the client's top-level GtkWindow.
2. Cefclient CefDialogHandler implementation:
- Cannot be used with Views because it requires a top-level GtkWindow.
Due to the above limitations no dialog implementation is currently provided for
Views + multi-threaded-message-loop on Linux. In cases where both
implementations are supported the cefclient version is now behind an optional
`--use-client-dialogs` command-line flag.
Expressly forbids multiple simultaneous file dialogs with the internal platform
implementation which uses modal dialogs. CefDialogHandler will still be notified
and can optionally handle each request without a modal dialog (see issue #3154).
Removes some RunFileDialog parameters that are not supported by the Chrome file
dialog implementation (selected_accept_filter parameter, cef_file_dialog_mode_t
overwrite/read-only flags).
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.
With PdfUnseasoned the PDF file will be loaded in a dedicated renderer process.
We identify this process by adding the kPdfRenderer command-line flag (similar
to how kExtensionProcess is used to identify an extension renderer process). We
then avoid calling GetNewBrowserInfo for the PDF renderer process because we
know the request will otherwise time out.
- Remove CefRequestContextHandler::OnBeforePluginLoad and
CefRequestContext::PurgePluginListCache (fixes issue #3047). These methods
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 in the near future (see https://crbug.com/702993#c58) and
functionality related to plugin filtering has already been removed in
https://crrev.com/343ae351c9.
With the introduction of prerendering in Chromium it is now possible for
RenderFrameHosts (RFH) to move between FrameTrees. As a consequence we can no
longer rely on FrameTreeNode IDs to uniquely identify a RFH over its lifespan.
We must now switch to using GlobalRenderFrameHostId (child_id, frame_routing_id)
instead for that purpose. Additionally, we simplify existing code by using the
GlobalRenderFrameHostId struct in all places that previously used a
(render_process_id, render_frame_id) pair, since these concepts are equivalent.
See https://crbug.com/1179502#c8 for additional background.
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.
See the related issue for additional usage details.
