- Simplify usage of OnBeforePluginLoad (issue #2015)
- Switch crash reporting from crashpad to breakpad on Windows and OS X.
Adds a new chrome_elf.dll dependency on Windows (issue #1995)
- Remove CefTextfield::GetPlaceholderTextColor() method which is no
longer supported by Chromium.
- 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.
- Implement CefRequestHandler::OnBeforeBrowse using NavigationThrottle
instead of ResourceThrottle (see http://crbug.com/537634). The CefRequest
object passed to OnBeforeBrowse will no longer have an associated request
identifier.

http://crbug.com/520680)
- Remove the UR_FLAG_REPORT_RAW_HEADERS flag which is no longer supported (see
http://crbug.com/517114)

- Preferences are now associated with a CefRequestContext instead of
being stored globally.

- 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.
