With the Chrome runtime, Profile initialization may be asynchronous. Code that
waited on CefBrowserContext creation now needs to wait on CefBrowserContext
initialization instead.
- 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.
Existing CefBrowserContext functionality is now split between
CefBrowserContext and AlloyBrowserContext. Runtime implementations of
CefBrowserContext will provide access to the content::BrowserContext and
Profile types via different inheritance paths. For example, the Alloy
runtime uses ChromeProfileAlloy and the Chrome runtime uses ProfileImpl.
This change also renames CefResourceContext to CefIOThreadState to more
accurately represent its purpose as it no longer needs to extend
content::ResourceContext.
This attribute is useful for identifying different classes of cast devices
without first requiring a connection (CAST, CAST_AUDIO, CAST_AUDIO_GROUP, etc).
Chromium supports communication with media devices on the local network via
the Cast and DIAL protocols. This takes two primary forms:
1. Messaging, where strings representing state information are passed between
the client and a dedicated receiver app on the media device. The receiver
app communicates directly with an app-specific backend service to retrieve
and possibly control media playback.
2. Tab/desktop mirroring, where the media contents are streamed directly from
the browser to a generic streaming app on the media device and playback is
controlled by the browser.
This change adds support for device discovery and messaging (but not
mirroring) with functionality exposed via the new CefMediaRouter interface.
To test: Navigate to http://tests/media_router in cefclient and follow the
on-screen instructions.
