- Generated files are now created when running cef_create_projects or
the new version_manager.py tool. These files are still created in the
cef/ source tree (same location as before) but Git ignores them due to
the generated .gitignore file.
- API hashes are committed to Git as a new cef_api_versions.json file.
This file is used for both code generation and CEF version calculation
(replacing the previous usage of cef_api_hash.h for this purpose).
It will be updated by the CEF admin before merging breaking API
changes upstream.
- As an added benefit to the above, contributor PRs will no longer
contain generated code that is susceptible to frequent merge conflicts.
- From a code generation perspective, the main difference is that we now
use versioned structs (e.g. cef_browser_0_t instead of cef_browser_t)
on the libcef (dll/framework) side. Most of the make_*.py tool changes
are related to supporting this.
- From the client perspective, you can now define CEF_API_VERSION in the
project configuration (or get CEF_EXPERIMENTAL by default). This
define will change the API exposed in CEF’s include/ and include/capi
header files. All client-side targets including libcef_dll_wrapper
will need be recompiled when changing this define.
- Examples of the new API-related define usage are provided in
cef_api_version_test.h, api_version_test_impl.cc and
api_version_unittest.cc.
To test:
- Run `ceftests --gtest_filter=ApiVersionTest.*`
- Add `cef_api_version=13300` to GN_DEFINES. Re-run configure, build and
ceftests steps.
- Repeat with 13301, 13302, 13303 (all supported test versions).
This change adds new CefCommandHandler callbacks for optionally hiding
specific Chrome toolbar icons, buttons and app menu items.
To test: Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --filter-chrome-commands`.
Most icons, buttons and app/context menu items will be hidden.
This change adds a CefCommandHandler::OnChromeCommand callback for optionally
handling Chrome commands triggered via menus or keyboard shortcuts. Supported
command IDs are listed in a new cef_command_ids.h header file.
To test: Run `cefclient --enable-chrome-runtime --hide-controls`. Most commands
will blocked and removed from context menus.
