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).
WPF/OffScreen PDF Scrolling issue has been resolved see #1916 for details
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
