November 23, 2024, CEF 131.2.7+g9a14dc9+chromium-131.0.6778.86 / Chromium 131.0.6778.86

• 🛑 The Alloy Bootstrap has been removed see #4795
• 🛑 Upgrading from Alloy Bootstrap to Chrome bootstrap appears to ignore cookies from the previous version as the encryption keys are likely different. See #4835 for possible workaround
• 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

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
