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.

- Implement support for transparency. Change the backing store to use Skia instead of GDI and to keep alpha values.
- Implement support for select popups. Requires a patch to Chromium (content_popups.patch).
- Implicitly disable accelerated compositing when using off-screen rendering.
- Introduce a new CefMouseEvent structure for representing mouse event information passed to CefBrowser methods.
- Merge cef_key_event_modifiers_t into cef_event_flags_t.
- Add a new argument to CefBrowser::Invalidate telling the browser whether to invalidate the select popup or the main view.
- Add a new cefclient "transparent-painting-enabled" command-line flag to test transparent off-screen rendering.
- Add a new cefclient "Transparency" test.
- Fix the cefclient off-screen rendering rotation effect to work even when the underlying web content is not updating.
- Add unit tests for transparent painting and select popups.
