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.

- Add a new CefBrowserHost::RunFileDialog method that displays the specified file chooser dialog and returns the results asynchronously (issue #761).
- Add a new CefDialogHandler::OnFileDialog callback that allows the application to provide custom UI for file chooser dialogs (issue #761).

- Move custom scheme registration to CefApp::OnRegisterCustomSchemes(). This is required by the introduction of ContentClient::AddAdditionalSchemes() and fixes a race condition when registering standard schemes in different processes.
