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.
- Windows: 10.0.17763.0 SDK is now required.
- Mac: 10.13 SDK is now required.
- Removed CefRequestContext::ResolveHostCached which is no longer supported by Chromium.
- The |category| value for all TRACE calls from CEF client applications is now
"cef.client" due to https://crrev.com/331266377d.
- The |with_menu_marker| parameter to CreateMenuButton has been removed due to
https://crrev.com/7f7e382118.
- Add CefWindowInfo::shared_texture_enabled and
CefRenderHandler::OnAcceleratedPaint for shared texture support. Currently
only supported on Windows (D3D11).
- Add CefWindowInfo::external_begin_frame_enabled and
CefBrowserHost::SendExternalBeginFrame for external begin frame support.
Known issues:
- The CefLoadCRLSetsFile function needs to be re-implemented (see issue #2497).
- Linux: GTK2 support has been removed. The cefclient sample needs to be updated
to use GTK3 (see issue #2014).
- Simplify usage of OnBeforePluginLoad (issue #2015)
- Switch crash reporting from crashpad to breakpad on Windows and OS X.
Adds a new chrome_elf.dll dependency on Windows (issue #1995)
- Remove CefTextfield::GetPlaceholderTextColor() method which is no
longer supported by Chromium.
- 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.
- Introduce native/ and osr/ folders for native (non-platform-agnostic) and
osr (windowless) code respectively.
- Introduce CefBrowserPlatformDelegate for abstracting platform-specific
implementations of browser host functionality.
- Move dialog and menu code to separate manager and platform-specific runner
implementations exposed via CefBrowserPlatformDelegate.
- Standardize focus-handling behavior between windowed and windowless
implementations. CefFocusHandler::OnSetFocus() will now also be called for
osr focus changes.
- Support multiple simultaneous popups (issue #1289).
