Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) Minimal Binary Distribution for Windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: September 16, 2020 CEF Version: 85.3.9+gb045a6e+chromium-85.0.4183.102 CEF URL: https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef.git @b045a6e9741202ed5d3a3e298bf71f41e15337ed Chromium Version: 85.0.4183.102 Chromium URL: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git @c57959fdf49a5035477d402a69964b1ba6e547dc This distribution contains the minimial 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 -------- cmake Contains CMake configuration files shared by all targets. 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. Resources Contains resources required by libcef.dll. By default these files should be placed in the same directory as libcef.dll. 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 * Crash reporting library. * chrome_elf.dll * Unicode support data. * icudtl.dat * V8 snapshot data. * snapshot_blob.bin * v8_context_snapshot.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_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. * SwiftShader support. * swiftshader/libEGL.dll * swiftshader/libGLESv2.dll Without these files WebGL will not function in software-only mode when the GPU is not available or disabled.
