The |web_contents_| member was nullptr in CefBrowserPlatformDelegateNativeAura
when calling methods like SendKeyEvent from CefBrowserPlatformDelegateViews.
- CefURLRequest::Create is no longer supported in the renderer process
(see https://crbug.com/891872). Use CefFrame::CreateURLRequest instead.
- Mac platform definitions have been changed from `MACOSX` to `MAC`
(see https://crbug.com/1105907) and related CMake macro names have
been updated. The old `OS_MACOSX` define is still set in code and CMake
for backwards compatibility.
- Linux ARM build is currently broken (see https://crbug.com/1123214).
- Windows: 10.0.19041 SDK is now required.
- macOS: 10.15.1 SDK (at least Xcode 11.2) is now required.
- Remove CefMediaSource::IsValid and CefMediaSink::IsValid which would
always return true.
This includes the following changes:
- Update usage of surface IDs to match the Aura implementation from the
RWHVAura/Window classes.
- Batch CefBrowserHost::WasResized calls to avoid excessive/unnecessary calls
to SynchronizeVisualProperties.
- Cache the results of CefRenderHandler::GetViewRect after resize and make
RWHVOSR::GetViewBounds the source of truth for all size calculations.
- Fix bounds calculations in CefVideoConsumerOSR with GPU enabled.
Known issues:
- The size passed to OnPaint may be off by 1 pixel in cases where the device
scale factor is not 1 and does not divide evenly into the pixel size. This is
due to the inexact conversion from integer pixel size to integer logical size
for GetViewRect.
Call DesktopWindowTreeHostPlatform::Close after destroying CEF's X11 window
so that objects owned by the WindowTreeHost (Compositor, X11Window, etc) are
properly cleaned up.
The PDF loading documentation in extension_system.cc has be updated to
describe the new code paths.
To support delivery of input events to the mime handler renderer process it is
now necessary to route events via the correct RWHV interface. For Aura-based
platforms (Windows/Linux) this means RWHVAura::On*Event and for macOS this
means RWHVMac::RouteOrProcess*Event. Since Aura uses UI event types these have
become the source of truth on Aura-based platforms with conversion to Web event
types when needed (primarily for OSR).
This change also adds a timeout for CefProcessHostMsg_GetNewBrowserInfo to
avoid a hung renderer process if the guest WebContents route is not
registered via CefMimeHandlerViewGuestDelegate::OnGuestDetached as expected
prior to CefBrowserInfoManager::OnGetNewBrowserInfo being called. This
timeout can be disabled for testing purposes by passing the
`--disable-new-browser-info-timeout` command-line flag.
The `--disable-features=MimeHandlerViewInCrossProcessFrame` command-line
flag can be used for a limited time to restore the previous implementation
based on BrowserPlugin. That implementation will be deleted starting with
the 3897 branch update.
Known issues:
- ExecuteJavaScript calls on the frame hosting the PDF extension will not
be routed to the mime handler renderer process.
- The PDF extension will not load successfully if blocked by
ChromePluginPlaceholder and then manually continued via the "Run this
plugin" context menu option (see https://crbug.com/533069#c41).
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.*
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.
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.
- 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).
