v126.2.70

June 23, 2024, CEF 126.2.7+g300bb05+chromium-126.0.6478.115 / Chromium 126.0.6478.115

• ⚠️ Change from Alloy Bootstrap to Chrome bootstrap as default. The Alloy bootstrap is deprecated and will be removed shortly (upstream) (#4835). Those using the Chrome Runtime previously will need to set CefSharpSettings.RuntimeStyle = CefRuntimeStyle.Chrome;
• 🛑 Switching from Alloy Bootstrap to Chrome bootstrap appears to ignore cookies from the previous version as the encrpytion keys
  are likely different. You can switch back to the Alloy bootstrap if required via cefSettings.ChromeRuntime = false; #4835
• CEF now supports the Chromium process singleton, this brings with it changes to how CachePath/RootCachePath are accessed from multiple processes. See #4668 for more details
• ⚠️ Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable is required. A minimum of VC++ 2019 is required, higher versions are backwards compatible. For those upgrading from a previous version which only required VC++ 2015 minimum see #3636 for some guidance.

ℹ️ Notes

• WPF the browser stops redrawing when running on Intel Iris Xe Integrated GPU(11th Gen). Intel have released an updated driver, see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000058136/graphics/graphics-for-11th-generation-intel-processors.html See dotnet/wpf#3817 for workaround if you are unable to install the updated driver.
• You can bin deploy the Visual C++ dependencies, read the FAQ for more details.
• For a list of files included in the packages see Output files description table (Redistribution) Wiki
• Starting in June 2019 Google will block logins from CEF based browsers to Google Services, this includes Gmail, Drive, Docs, see https://security.googleblog.com/2019/04/better-protection-against-man-in-middle.html?m=1 for further discussion see https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/embedder-dev/STyM5ZNTHMM/POj1v_cqBgAJ
• Due to licensing issues default builds do not support proprietary codecs like H264/AAC, sites like Netflix/Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Spotify/Apple Music won't play video/audio. See #1479 for more info. MP3 audio is supported, playing MP4 files are not supported.
• Anyone new to CefSharp should read the General Usage Guide
• This project uses Microsoft SourceLink for better debugging, you can step directly into much of the project source directly.
