Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) Standard Binary Distribution for Windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: October 17, 2016 CEF Version: 3.2840.1493.g4e029f4 CEF URL: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef.git @4e029f4dc2cc1407c0922c2d4c3363e3d4ac4dc8 Chromium Verison: 54.0.2840.59 Chromium URL: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git @94e94a4190c88509a70809864e3bb7c4f92c6901 This distribution contains all components necessary to build and distribute an application using CEF on the Windows platform. Please see the LICENSING section of this document for licensing terms and conditions. CONTENTS -------- cefclient Contains the cefclient sample application configured to build using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates a wide range of CEF functionalities. cefsimple Contains the cefsimple sample application configured to build using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates the minimal functionality required to create a browser window. cmake Contains CMake configuration files shared by all targets. Debug Contains libcef.dll, libcef.lib and other components required to build and run the debug version of CEF-based applications. By default these files should be placed in the same directory as the executable and will be copied there as part of the build process. include Contains all required CEF header files. libcef_dll Contains the source code for the libcef_dll_wrapper static library that all applications using the CEF C++ API must link against. Release Contains libcef.dll, libcef.lib and other components required to build and run the release version of CEF-based applications. By default these files should be placed in the same directory as the executable and will be copied there as part of the build process. Resources Contains resources required by libcef.dll. By default these files should be placed in the same directory as libcef.dll and will be copied there as part of the build process. USAGE ----- Building using CMake: CMake can be used to generate project files in many different formats. See usage instructions at the top of the CMakeLists.txt file. Please visit the CEF Website for additional usage information. https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/ REDISTRIBUTION -------------- This binary distribution contains the below components. Required components: The following components are required. CEF will not function without them. * CEF core library. * libcef.dll * Unicode support data. * icudtl.dat * V8 snapshot data. * natives_blob.bin * snapshot_blob.bin Optional components: The following components are optional. If they are missing CEF will continue to run but any related functionality may become broken or disabled. * Localized resources. Locale file loading can be disabled completely using CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The locales directory path can be customized using CefSettings.locales_dir_path. * locales/ Directory containing localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink. A .pak file is loaded from this directory based on the CefSettings.locale value. Only configured locales need to be distributed. If no locale is configured the default locale of "en-US" will be used. Without these files arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly. * Other 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. * cef.pak * cef_100_percent.pak * cef_200_percent.pak These files contain non-localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink. Without these files arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly. * cef_extensions.pak This file contains non-localized resources required for extension loading. Pass the `--disable-extensions` command-line flag to disable use of this file. Without this file components that depend on the extension system, such as the PDF viewer, will not function. * devtools_resources.pak This file contains non-localized resources required for Chrome Developer Tools. Without this file Chrome Developer Tools will not function. * Angle and Direct3D support. * d3dcompiler_43.dll (required for Windows XP) * d3dcompiler_47.dll (required for Windows Vista and newer) * libEGL.dll * libGLESv2.dll Without these files HTML5 accelerated content like 2D canvas, 3D CSS and WebGL will not function. * Widevine CDM support. * widevinecdmadapter.dll Without this file playback of Widevine projected content will not function. See the CefRegisterWidevineCdm() function in cef_web_plugin.h for usage. LICENSING --------- The CEF project is BSD licensed.
