Notes

• Chromium has removed support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
  https://chrome.googleblog.com/2015/11/updates-to-chrome-platform-support.html
• Due to licensing issues default builds do not support proprietary codecs like H264, sites like Netflix/Twitter/Instagram won't play video/audio. See #1479 for more info.
• CEF has switched from using breakpad to crashpad for error reporting see https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/CrashReporting.md for details, make sure you set ExternalHandler=CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe
• Anyone new to CefSharp should read the General Usage Guide
• This project now uses GitLink for better debugging, see #1680
• The chrome_elf.dll is now required, it's used for crashpad (crash reporting).
• Chromium has not implemented the changes in the 3239 branch to enable MP3 support by default, likely included in version 65
• Javascript Binding now has basic support for dynamic keyword (using ExpandoObject)
• Added IDisplayHandler.OnAutoResize
• Now supports Swiftshader for CPU based 3d rendering see https://swiftshader.googlesource.com/SwiftShader#swiftshader

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
• Registered JavaScript objects get lost when navigating to another domain (#1203), see #2247 for details on the new implementation.
