To avoid conflicting IDs between Alloy (which uses cef.pak) and Chrome
(which uses chrome_100_percent.pak) the cef/LICENSE.txt file is now included
in both cef/libcef/resources/cef_resources.grd and
chrome/app/theme/chrome_unscaled_resources.grd with different ID values.
The cef.pak file currently contains both CEF-specific resources and Chrome
resources that are already included in the default *.pak files distributed
with Chrome. In the future we should remove this duplication and just
distribute the same *.pak files as Chrome for the majority of resources.
- 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 change moves shared resource initialization to a common location and
disables crash reporting initialization in chrome/ code via patch files.
When using the Chrome runtime on macOS the Chrome application window will
display, but web content is currently blank and the application does not
exit cleanly. This will need to be debugged further in the future.
This change adds basic Chrome runtime implementations for CefBrowserContext
and CefBrowserPlatformDelegate. A Chrome browser window with default frame
and styling can now be created using CefBrowserHost::CreateBrowser and some
CefClient callbacks will be triggered via the WebContentsObserver
implementation in CefBrowserHostImpl.
Any additional browser windows created via the Chrome UI will be unmanaged
by CEF. The application message loop will block until all browser windows
have been closed by the user.
As part of introducing the Chrome runtime we now need to distinguish
between the classes that implement the current CEF runtime and the
classes the implement the shared CEF library/runtime structure and
public API. We choose the name Alloy for the current CEF runtime
because it describes a combination of Chrome and other elements.
Shared CEF library/runtime classes will continue to use the Cef
prefix. Classes that implement the Alloy or Chrome runtime will use
the Alloy or Chrome prefixes respectively. Classes that extend an
existing Chrome-prefixed class will add the Cef or Alloy suffix,
thereby following the existing naming pattern of Chrome-derived
classes.
This change applies the new naming pattern to an initial set of
runtime-related classes. Additional classes/files will be renamed
and moved as the Chrome runtime implementation progresses.
Running `cefsimple --enable-chrome-runtime` will create and run a
Chrome browser window using the CEF app methods, and call
CefApp::OnContextInitialized as expected. CEF task methods also
work as expected in the main process. No browser-related methods or
callbacks are currently supported for the Chrome window, and the
application will exit when the last Chrome window closes.
The Chrome runtime requires resources.pak, chrome_100_percent.pak
and chrome_200_percent.pak files which were not previously built
with CEF. It shares the existing locales pak files which have been
updated to include additional Chrome-specific strings.
On Linux, the Chrome runtime requires GTK so use_gtk=true must be
specified via GN_DEFINES when building.
This change also refactors the CEF runtime, which can be tested in
the various supported modes by running:
$ cefclient
$ cefclient --multi-threaded-message-loop
$ cefclient --external-message-pump
