As part of introducing the Chrome runtime we now need to distinguish between the classes that implement the current CEF runtime and the classes the implement the shared CEF library/runtime structure and public API. We choose the name Alloy for the current CEF runtime because it describes a combination of Chrome and other elements. Shared CEF library/runtime classes will continue to use the Cef prefix. Classes that implement the Alloy or Chrome runtime will use the Alloy or Chrome prefixes respectively. Classes that extend an existing Chrome-prefixed class will add the Cef or Alloy suffix, thereby following the existing naming pattern of Chrome-derived classes. This change applies the new naming pattern to an initial set of runtime-related classes. Additional classes/files will be renamed and moved as the Chrome runtime implementation progresses. |

There may be instances where CEF requires changes to the source code for Chromium, Blink or third-party projects that are either not desired by those projects or that have not yet been merged into the source code versions of those projects used by CEF. To address this situation the CEF project adds a patch capability as part of cef_create_projects[.bat|sh] build step. This patch capability works as follows: 1. The CEF developer creates one or more patch files containing all required code changes and places those patch files in the "patches" subdirectory. 2. The CEF developer adds an entry for each patch file in the "patch.cfg" file. 3. When building CEF from source code the patch files are applied by the patcher.py tool via the cef_create_projects[.bat|sh] build step 4. When updating Chromium the patch_updater.py tool is used to update all patch files. See https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/ChromiumUpdate.md for more information about the update process.
