- Add new CefSettings.external_message_pump option and
CefBrowserProcessHandler::OnScheduleMessagePumpWork() callback.
- Improve documentation related to CefDoMessageLoopWork().
- Pass `--external-message-pump` command-line flag to cefclient or
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.
- Windows: Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 is now required when building
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.
- Pass the `--enable-high-dpi-support` command-line flag to
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.
- Remove CefLifeSpanHandler::RunModal() which is never called.
- Add draggable regions example to cefclient.
- Delete include/cef_runnable.h (issue #1336).
- Build the cef_unittests target using all Chromium headers. Add a
USING_CHROMIUM_INCLUDES define and libcef_dll_wrapper_unittests
target to support this. This change avoids compile errors due to
the divergence of CEF and Chromium base/ header implementations.
The libcef_dll_wrapper sources must now compile successfully with
both CEF and Chromium base/ headers (issue #1632).
- The onbeforeunload message specified via JavaScript is no longer
passed to the client (see http://crbug.com/587940).
- Building on Windows now requires the Windows 10.0.10586 SDK.
- Remove CefParseCSSColor which was implemented using Blink code in the
browser process. This is longer advisable now that the Oilpan GC is enabled.
- Avoid potential renderer process crashes by disabling script actions
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)
POST data includes elements that are not represented (issue #1761).
- Add CefRequest::SetReferrer and CefRequest::GetReferrer[URL|Policy]. The
Referer value will no longer be stored in the header map.
- Move request-related conversion logic to CefRequestImpl and standardize the
implementation.
- 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).
- Improve ordering of CefLoadHandler callbacks. OnLoadingStateChange will
be called before and after all calls to OnLoadStart and OnLoadEnd.
OnLoadStart/OnLoadEnd calls will occur as matching pairs
(see http://crbug.com/539952#c2).
- Remove the |requesting_url| argument to CefGeolocationHandler::
OnCancelGeolocationPermission. Clients can use the |request_id| argument
to track this information themselves.
- Fix a crash when loading the PDF extension in multiple browsers with a
custom CefRequestContext (issue #1757).
- 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).
- 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.
- Windows/Mac: Use `--enable-widevine-cdm` command-line flag to
enable download of CDM binaries via the component updater.
- Linux: Use `--widevide-cdm-path` and `--widevine-cdm-version`
command-line flags to load CDM binaries that already exist on
the system.
- A cache-path value is usually required when CDM is enabled.
- Mac: 10.10 SDK is now required for building (see http://crbug.com/463170#c63).
Older SDKs can be used for a short time by setting mac_sdk_min via GYP_DEFINES.
A system-wide installation of the Pepper Flash plugin is available from Adobe
for Windows and Mac OS X platforms as a separate download. To enable automatic
detection and loading of the system-wide installation pass the
`--enable-system-flash` command-line flag.
The Pepper Flash plugin can also be loaded by specifying the file path and
version via the `--ppapi-flash-path=<path> --ppapi-flash-version=<version>`
command-line flags. The version can be identified by viewing the
manifest.json file in the same directory as the Pepper Flash plugin library.
- Add a new CefRequestHandler::OnResourceResponse() method for inspecting the request/response headers and potentially restarting or redirecting the request.
- Add a new CefRequest::GetIdentifier() method for tracking a request across multiple CefRequestHandler callbacks.
- Pass a CefRequest object instead of just the old URL to CefRequestHandler::OnResourceRedirect().

- CefRequestContext instances can be configured using a new CefRequestContextSettings structure passed to CefRequestContext::CreateContext.
- Scheme registration is now per-request-context using new CefRequestContext::RegisterSchemeHandlerFactory and ClearSchemeHandlerFactories methods.
- 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.
git-svn-id: https://chromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2040 5089003a-bbd8-11dd-ad1f-f1f9622dbc98
- Simplify and document the relationship between the various context object types. See browser_context.h for a description of the new relationships.
- cefclient: Add `request-context-per-browser` command-line flag for testing multiple CefRequestContext instances.
- cefclient: Add a CefURLRequest example.
git-svn-id: https://chromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2032 5089003a-bbd8-11dd-ad1f-f1f9622dbc98
- cefclient: Improve error message text and use a data: URI instead of LoadString for loading error messages (issue #579).
- Add functions in cef_url.h for base64 and URI encoding/decoding (issue #579).
git-svn-id: https://chromiumembedded.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2028 5089003a-bbd8-11dd-ad1f-f1f9622dbc98
- 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.
