Implementation notes:
- Chromium change: CookieMonster::SetCookieableSchemes needs to be called
immediately after the CookieMonster is created in NetworkContext::
ApplyContextParamsToBuilder. Add a Profile::GetCookieableSchemes method and
NetworkContextParams.cookieable_schemes member (set from
ProfileNetworkContextService::CreateNetworkContextParams) to support that.
- Chromium change: Add a ContentBrowserClient::HandleExternalProtocol variant
that exposes additional NetworkService request information.
- GetResourceResponseFilter is not yet implemented.
API changes:
- Resource-related callbacks have been moved from CefRequestHandler to a new
CefResourceRequestHandler interface which is returned via the
GetResourceRequestHandler method. If the CefRequestHandler declines to handle
a resource it can optionally be handled by the CefRequestContextHandler, if
any, associated with the loading context.
- The OnProtocolExecution callback has been moved from CefRequestHandler to
CefResourceRequestHandler and will be called if a custom scheme request is
unhandled.
- Cookie send/save permission callbacks have been moved from CefRequestHandler
and CefResourceHandler to CefResourceRequestHandler.
- New methods added to CefResourceHandler that better match NetworkService
execution sequence expectations. The old methods are now deprecated.
- New methods added to CefRequest and CefResponse.
Known behavior changes with the NetworkService implementation:
- Modifying the |new_url| parameter in OnResourceRedirect will no longer result
in the method being called an additional time (likely a bug in the old
implementation).
- Modifying the request URL in OnResourceResponse would previously cause a
redirect. This behavior is now deprecated because the NetworkService does not
support this functionality when using default network loaders. Temporary
support has been added in combination with CefResourceHandler usage only.
- Other changes to the request object in OnResourceResponse will now cause the
request to be restarted. This means that OnBeforeResourceLoad, etc, will be
called an additional time with the new request information.
- CefResponse::GetMimeType will now be empty for non-200 responses.
- Requests using custom schemes can now be handled via CefResourceRequestHandler
with the same callback behavior as builtin schemes.
- Redirects of custom scheme requests will now be followed as expected.
- Default handling of builtin schemes can now be disabled by setting
|disable_default_handling| to true in GetResourceRequestHandler.
- Unhandled requests (custom scheme or builtin scheme with default handling
disabled) will fail with an CefResponse::GetError value of
ERR_UNKNOWN_URL_SCHEME.
- The CefSchemeHandlerFactory::Create callback will now include cookie headers.
To test:
- Run `cefclient --enable-network-service`. All resources should load
successfully (this tests the transparent proxy capability).
- All tests pass with NetworkService disabled.
- The following tests pass with NetworkService enabled:
- CookieTest.*
- FrameTest.* (excluding .*Nav)
- NavigationTest.* (excluding .Redirect*)
- RequestHandlerTest.*
- RequestContextTest.Basic*
- RequestContextTest.Popup*
- RequestTest.*
- ResourceManagerTest.*
- ResourceRequestHandlerTest.* (excluding .Filter*)
- SchemeHandlerTest.*
- StreamResourceHandlerTest.*
Ozone builds can run with different platform backends (Wayland, X11, etc). Usage of the Views framework is required, and the cefclient sample application is not supported.
Example usage:
$ export GN_DEFINES="use_ozone=true"
$ cd /path/to/chromium/src/cef
$ ./cef_create_projects.sh
$ cd /path/to/chromium/src
$ ninja -C out/Release_GN_x64 cefsimple
$ ./out/Release_GN_x64/cefsimple --use-views --ozone-platform=wayland
Binary distributions can be created by passing the `--ozone` flag to make_distrib.py.
This splits out the API hashes from the cef_version.h file which is generated at
build time. Changes to the cef_api_hash.h file are committed to the repo and
represent potentially breaking API changes. This commit history will be used to
calculate the version number.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Delete include/cef_runnable.h (issue #1336).
- Build the cef_unittests target using all Chromium headers. Add a
USING_CHROMIUM_INCLUDES define and libcef_dll_wrapper_unittests
target to support this. This change avoids compile errors due to
the divergence of CEF and Chromium base/ header implementations.
The libcef_dll_wrapper sources must now compile successfully with
both CEF and Chromium base/ headers (issue #1632).
- The onbeforeunload message specified via JavaScript is no longer
passed to the client (see http://crbug.com/587940).
- Preferences are now associated with a CefRequestContext instead of
being stored globally.
- Add methods to CefRequestContext for getting/setting preferences.
- Support single parent inheritance in CEF API classes.
- Support non-virtual inheritance in CEF API classes.
- Support translation of CEF API sub-directories.
- Add test sub-directories for testing-only functionality that will be
available to unit tests but not exposed via the binary distribution.
- Add unit tests for the translator tool.
- Fix parsing of template parameter types that include commas.
- Simplify and document the relationship between the various context object types. See browser_context.h for a description of the new relationships.
- cefclient: Add `request-context-per-browser` command-line flag for testing multiple CefRequestContext instances.
- cefclient: Add a CefURLRequest example.

Changes to cefclient and cefsimple:
- Use base::Bind and cef_closure_task.h instead of NewCefRunnable*.
- Remove use of the IMPEMENT_LOCKING macro.
- Fix incorrect/unnecessary locking.
- Add additional runtime thread checks.
- Windows: Perform actions on the UI thread instead of the main thread when running in multi-threaded-message-loop mode to avoid excessive locking.

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 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.
