cef_unittests to test the new mode.
- 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.

CEF/Chromium.
- Add Views header files in a new include/views directory.
- Add initial top-level window (CefWindow), control (CefBrowserView,
CefLabelButton, CefMenuButton, CefPanel, CefScrollView,
CefTextfield) and layout (CefBoxLayout, CefFlowLayout) support.
See libcef/browser/views/view_impl.h comments for implementation
details.
- Add Views example usage in cefclient and cefsimple and Views unit
tests in cef_unittests. Pass the `--use-views` command-line flag to
cefclient, cefsimple and cef_unittests to run using the Views
framework instead of platform APIs. For cefclient and cefsimple
this will create the browser window and all related functionality
using the Views framework. For cef_unittests this will run all
tests (except OSR tests) in a Views-based browser window. Views-
specific unit tests (`--gtest_filter=Views*`) will be run even if
the the `--use-views` flag is not specified.
- Pass the `--hide-frame` command-line flag to cefclient to demo a
frameless Views-based browser window.
- Pass the `--hide-controls` command-line flag to cefclient to demo a
browser window without top controls. This also works in non-Views
mode.

cef_unittests on Windows to test high-DPI support on a display
that supports it.
- Add CefImage for reading/writing image file formats.
- Add CefBrowser::DownloadImage() for downloading image URLs as a
CefImage representation. This is primarily for loading favicons.
- Add CefMenuModel::CreateMenuModel() and CefMenuModelDelegate for
creating custom menus. This is primarily for use with
CefMenuButton.
- Add CefBrowser::TryCloseBrowser() helper for closing a browser.
Also improve related documentation in cef_life_span_handler.h.
- Rename cef_page_range_t to cef_range_t. It is now also used by
CefTextfield.

on the CefV8Context passed to CefRenderProcessHandler::OnContextReleased.
- Provide access to the full certificate issuer chain (issue #1530)
- Add several missing certificate error codes to cef_errorcode_t (issue #1784)
- Provide the full certificate status bitmask (issue #1790)
- Introduce native/ and osr/ folders for native (non-platform-agnostic) and
osr (windowless) code respectively.
- Introduce CefBrowserPlatformDelegate for abstracting platform-specific
implementations of browser host functionality.
- Move dialog and menu code to separate manager and platform-specific runner
implementations exposed via CefBrowserPlatformDelegate.
- Standardize focus-handling behavior between windowed and windowless
implementations. CefFocusHandler::OnSetFocus() will now also be called for
osr focus changes.
- Support multiple simultaneous popups (issue #1289).
- 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.
- 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.
- Mac: Remove additional helper apps which are no longer required (see
http://crbug.com/520680)
- Remove the UR_FLAG_REPORT_RAW_HEADERS flag which is no longer supported (see
http://crbug.com/517114)
- Remove the CefBrowserSettings.java parameter. Java is an NPAPI plugin and
NPAPI plugins are no longer supported (see http://crbug.com/470301#c11)
- Add CefFormatUrlForSecurityDisplay function in cef_parser.h
- Fix crash when passing `--disable-extensions` command-line flag (issue #1721)
- Linux: Fix NSS handler loading (issue #1727)
- 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).

- Cookie managers are now per-request-context by default and can be retrieved using a new CefRequestContext::GetDefaultCookieManager method.
- CefURLRequest::Create now accepts an optional CefRequestContext argument for associating a URL request with a context (browser process only).
- The CefRequestContextHandler associated with a CefRequestContext will not be released until all objects related to that context have been destroyed.
- When the cache path is empty an in-memory cache ("incognito mode") will be used for storage and no data will be persisted to disk.
- Add CefSettings.user_data_path which specifies the location where user data such as spell checking dictionary files will be stored on disk.
- Add asynchronous callbacks for all CefCookieManager methods.
- Add PK_LOCAL_APP_DATA and PK_USER_DATA path keys for retrieving user directories via CefGetPath.
- cefclient: Add "New Window" test that creates a new window unrelated to existing windows. When used in combination with `--request-context-per-browser` the new window will be given a new and isolated request context.

- Standardize file dialog behavior across all platforms (issue #1492).
-- Show a file type filter list on OS X.
-- Show the file extensions as part of the filter list description on all platforms (e.g. "Image Types (*.png;*.gif;*.jpg)").
-- Rename the CefBrowserHost::RunFileDialog |accept_types| argument to |accept_filters| and expand support for filters that will be displayed as-is in addition to the currently supported mime-type and extension-based filters. For example, a filter value of "Supported Image Types|.png;.gif;.jpg" will display "Supported Image Types (*.png;*.gif;*.jpg)" in the filter drop-down list and accept *.png, *.gif and *.jpg files.
-- Persist the selected filter item index by passing a new |selected_accept_filter| argument to CefBrowserHost::RunFileDialog and returning the newly selected index via the CefRunFileDialogCallback and CefFileDialogCallback callbacks.
-- Rename the CefBrowserHost::RunFileDialog |default_file_name| argument to |default_file_path| and use the directory component, if any, to set the default directory location. If |default_file_path| ends in a trailing path separator it will be treated as a directory without a file name component.
-- Add FILE_DIALOG_OVERWRITEPROMPT_FLAG and FILE_DIALOG_HIDEREADONLY_FLAG values to cef_file_dialog_mode_t for controlling those behaviors where possible.

- Windows: d3dcompiler_46.dll changed to d3dcompiler_47.dll due to 8.1 SDK update (issue #1484).
- Windows: Fix `local variable is initialized but not referenced` warning with Release build (issue #1484).
git-svn-id: https://chromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1962 5089003a-bbd8-11dd-ad1f-f1f9622dbc98
- Always set the browser process VSync rate (frame rate) to CefSettings.windowless_frame_rate.
- When the `enable-begin-frame-scheduling` command-line flag is specified the VSync rate for all processes will be synchronized to CefSettings.windowless_frame_rate. This flag cannot be used in combination with windowed rendering.
- When the `disable-gpu` and `disable-gpu-compositing` command-line flags are specified the CefRenderHandler::OnPaint method will be called directly from the compositor instead of requiring an additional copy for each frame.
- CefRenderHandler::OnPopupSize now passes view coordinates instead of (potentially scaled) pixel coordinates.
- Add OSR unit tests for 2x (HiDPI) pixel scaling.
- Improve CefRenderHandler documentation.
git-svn-id: https://chromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1960 5089003a-bbd8-11dd-ad1f-f1f9622dbc98
- The |dirtyRects| argument to CefRenderHandler::OnPaint is now a single rectangle representing the union of all dirty rectangles since the last frame was generated. In most cases this rectangle will be smaller than the view (frame) size.
- cefclient: Use a ScopedGLContext class on all platforms to manage the current GL context and avoid GL state leaks.
- cefclient: Add debug checks in ClientOSRenderer for GL errors and fix some errors that were discovered.
- cefclient: Add a new `--show-update-rect` command-line flag that provides visualization of the update rectangle by drawing a red border around it for each frame.

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.
git-svn-id: https://chromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1751 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.

- 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.
