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.

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.

- Add new CefSettings.windowless_rendering_enabled value that must be enabled when using windowless (off-screen) rendering.
- Improve naming and documentation for CefWindowInfo members.
- CefBeginTracing now completes asynchronously.
- Rename CefEndTracingAsync to CefEndTracing.
- Rename CefCompletionHandler to CefCompletionCallback.

- The sandbox is now enabled by default on all platforms. Use the CefSettings.no_sandbox option or the "no-sandbox" command-line flag to disable sandbox support.
- Windows: See cef_sandbox_win.h for requirements to enable sandbox support.
- Windows: If Visual Studio isn't installed in the standard location set the CEF_VCVARS environment variable before running make_distrib.py or automate.py (see msvs_env.bat).
- Linux: For binary distributions a new chrome-sandbox executable with SUID permissions must be placed next to the CEF executable. See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for details on setting up the development environment when building CEF from source code.

- Add new CefRequestContext and CefRequestContextHandler classes.
- Add CefRequestContext argument to CefBrowserHost static factory methods.
- Move GetCookieManager from CefRequestHandler to CefRequestContextHandler.

- 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.
