- 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).
Now that args.gn is an input to the make_config_header target we
don't want to invalidate the build unnecessarily by modifying the
file if the contents are unchanged.
Windows ARM64 cross-compile requires building Clang x64 binaries. Building both
arm64 and x64 binaries in the same build is not possible when using INCLUDE/LIB
values set via the environment. Instead, allow Chromium to extract the correct
configuration from vcvarsall.bat for populating the environment.[arch] files.
- 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).
The cef_api_hash.h file was previously only updated when the translator tool
was run manually. Forgetting to run the translator tool after changing
include/internal/cef_types*.h files would result in cef_parser.py
incorrectly computing the CEF minor version number for future builds. By
updating this file automatically at build time the number of errors should be
reduced.
Ozone builds can run with different platform backends (Wayland, X11, etc). Usage of the Views framework is required, and the cefclient sample application is not supported.
Example usage:
$ export GN_DEFINES="use_ozone=true"
$ cd /path/to/chromium/src/cef
$ ./cef_create_projects.sh
$ cd /path/to/chromium/src
$ ninja -C out/Release_GN_x64 cefsimple
$ ./out/Release_GN_x64/cefsimple --use-views --ozone-platform=wayland
Binary distributions can be created by passing the `--ozone` flag to make_distrib.py.
This splits out the API hashes from the cef_version.h file which is generated at
build time. Changes to the cef_api_hash.h file are committed to the repo and
represent potentially breaking API changes. This commit history will be used to
calculate the version number.
- Add a new CefSettings.graphics_implementation option for using different GL implementations.
- Disable accelerated compositing by default due to multiple issues (issue #334, issue #335, issue #337).
- Eliminate the "patcher" project and perform all patching during GYP project generation.
- Fix references to non-existent files in cef.gyp.
- Move BrowserWebKitInit method implementations to a separate .cc file.
- Add support for Flash on Mac (issue #305).
