• Due to licensing issues default builds do not support proprietary codecs like H264 and MP3, sites like Netflix/Twitter/Instagram won't play video/audio. See #1479 for more info.
• Issue when running x64 build on older CPUs that don't support vmovaps has been resolved see #1819 for details.
• CEF has switched from using breakpad to crashpad for error reporting see https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/1995/migrate-from-breakpad-to-crashpad for details
• As part of this release a General Usage Guide has been added to the Wiki
• This release was funded using Bounty Source A big thank you to all those who contributed!
• This project now uses GitLink for better debugging, see #1680
• The chrome_elf.dll is now required, it's used for crashpad (crash reporting).

Known Issues

• WinForms when running on Windows 10 Anniversary pressing certain key combinations freezes the browser see #1822 The issue has been reported upstream, there are workarounds listed in #1822
