REDISTRIBUTION
--------------
This binary distribution contains the below components. Components listed under
the "required" section must be redistributed with all applications using CEF.
Components listed under the "optional" section may be excluded if the related
features will not be used.
Applications using CEF on OS X must follow a specific app bundle structure.
Replace "cefclient" in the below example with your application name.

The "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" is an unversioned framework that
contains CEF binaries and resources. Executables (cefclient, cefclient Helper,
etc) are linked to the "Chromium Embedded Framework" library using
install_name_tool and a path relative to @executable_path.
The "cefclient Helper" apps are used for executing separate processes
(renderer, plugin, etc) with different characteristics. They need to have
separate app bundles and Info.plist files so that, among other things, they
don't show dock icons. The "EH" helper, which is used when launching plugin
processes, has the MH_NO_HEAP_EXECUTION bit cleared to allow an executable
heap. The "NP" helper, which is used when launching NaCl plugin processes
only, has the MH_PIE bit cleared to disable ASLR. This is set up as part of
the build process using scripts from the tools/ directory. Examine the Xcode
project included with the binary distribution or the originating cefclient.gyp
file for a better idea of the script dependencies.
Required components:
* CEF framework library
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework
* Unicode support
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/icudtl.dat
* V8 initial snapshot
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/natives_blob.bin
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/snapshot_blob.bin
Optional components:
* Localized resources
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/*.lproj/
Note: Contains localized strings for WebKit UI controls. A .pak file is loaded
from this folder based on the CefSettings.locale value. Only configured
locales need to be distributed. If no locale is configured the default locale
of "en" will be used. Locale file loading can be disabled completely using
CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled.
* Other resources
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/cef.pak
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/cef_100_percent.pak
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/cef_200_percent.pak
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/devtools_resources.pak
Note: Contains WebKit image and inspector resources. Pack file loading can be
disabled completely using CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The resources
directory path can be customized using CefSettings.resources_dir_path.
* FFmpeg audio and video support
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Libraries/ffmpegsumo.so
Note: Without this component HTML5 audio and video will not function.
* PDF support
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Libraries/PDF.plugin
* Breakpad support
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/crash_inspector
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/crash_report_sender
Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Resources/Info.plist
Note: Without these components breakpad support will not function.
