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).
This change adds an --enable-network-service command-line flag to run with
NetworkService enabled.
To test: Run `cefclient --enable-network-service --disable-extensions`. The
application should start, load a website and exit without crashing.
Network-related handlers (for cookies, schemes, requests, etc) and extensions
are not expected to work yet.
There should be no functional change when running without the NetworkService
enabled.
- 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.
- Net security (CT, HSTS) expiration based on build age is now
disabled by default.
- Add new enable_net_security_expiration option to CefSettings and
CefRequestContextSettings.
- 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.
- Persist modified user preferences including per-host zoom settings when a
cache_path value is specified and persist_user_preferences is set to true
via CefSettings or CefRequestContextSettings.
- Avoid the need to duplicate files from chrome/ by having CefBrowserContext
extend Chrome's Profile class.
- Preferences are now associated with a CefRequestContext instead of
being stored globally.
- Add methods to CefRequestContext for getting/setting preferences.
- Default plugin loading policy can be specified using the new
`--plugin-policy=[allow|block|detect]` command-line flag.
- Move CefRequestHandler::OnBeforePluginLoad to
CefRequestContextHandler and add a new policy argument that
supports different actions (allow, block, detect, disable) on a
per-plugin-instance basis.
- Add CefContextMenuHandler::RunContextMenu for providing a custom
context menu implementation.
- Add CefResourceBundleHandler::GetDataResourceForScale for
returning scaled resources (issue #1272).
- Add CefResourceBundle for retrieving resources from the resource
bundle (*.pak) files loaded by CEF during startup or via the
CefResourceBundleHandler.
- Linux: Fix Debug build IO access warning with CefGetMimeType.
- cef_unittests: Move the refcounting implementation from TestHandler
to subclasses in order to support interface inheritance from
subclasses.
- Windows/Mac: Use `--enable-widevine-cdm` command-line flag to
enable download of CDM binaries via the component updater.
- Linux: Use `--widevide-cdm-path` and `--widevine-cdm-version`
command-line flags to load CDM binaries that already exist on
the system.
- A cache-path value is usually required when CDM is enabled.
A system-wide installation of the Pepper Flash plugin is available from Adobe
for Windows and Mac OS X platforms as a separate download. To enable automatic
detection and loading of the system-wide installation pass the
`--enable-system-flash` command-line flag.
The Pepper Flash plugin can also be loaded by specifying the file path and
version via the `--ppapi-flash-path=<path> --ppapi-flash-version=<version>`
command-line flags. The version can be identified by viewing the
manifest.json file in the same directory as the Pepper Flash plugin library.
This includes:
- Red underline of misspelled words in html text areas.
- Right-click context menu options to correct the misspelled word.
- New CefBrowser::ReplaceMisspelling method for accepting a word replacement.
- Methods added to CefContextMenuParams for retrieving spelling-related information.
- Uses the unified text checker when auto-correct is not enabled to match Google Chrome behavior.
- On Windows and Linux a hunspell dictionary file will be downloaded to the "<cache_path>/Dictionaries" directory as needed, or used from the <cache_path> directory if the file already exists there. The dictionary file will be downloaded from http://cache.pack.google.com/edgedl/chrome/dict/<LANG>-3-0.bdic where <LANG> is the language abbreviation.
- On OS X the spell checking implementation will use the system NSSpellChecker implementation.
The following command-line flags have been added:
--disable-spell-checking => Disable spell-checking support (no red underline, no dictionary file download, etc).
--enable-spelling-auto-correct => Automatically correct common misspellings while typing (like 'omre' to 'more' on Windows/Linux or 'ehlo' to 'helo' on OS X).
--enable-spelling-service => Enable use of the remote Google spelling service (this requires Google API keys).
--override-spell-check-lang=<LANG> => Use the specified dictionary language <LANG> instead of the language specified in the locales.pak file.

- The CefSettings.release_dcheck_enabled option has been removed. This functionality can be enabled by setting the dcheck_always_on=1 gyp variable before building CEF/Chromium. See http://crbug.com/350462 for details.
- The UR_FLAG_ALLOW_COOKIES option has been removed and the functionality has been merged into UR_FLAG_ALLOW_CACHED_CREDENTIALS.
- Mac: [NSApplication sharedApplication] should no longer be called in the renderer process. See http://crbug.com/306348 for details.
git-svn-id: https://chromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1641 5089003a-bbd8-11dd-ad1f-f1f9622dbc98
- General usage instructions are available at https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/developers/testing/webkit-layout-tests/using-breakpad-with-content-shell.
- Mac: Generate "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" using a new cef_framework target (the libcef target is now only used on Windows and Linux). Rename "Libraries/libcef.dylib" to "Chromium Embedded Framework". Distribute Release and Debug builds of the "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" folder as part of the binary distribution.
- Mac: Fix the Xcode target compiler setting for the binary distribution so that it no longer needs to be set manually.

- 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.
