Notes

• CefSharp requires Visual C++ 2015. See #1983 for details. You can bin deploy the VC++ dependencies, read the FAQ for more.
• Chromium has removed support for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008. See https://chrome.googleblog.com/2015/11/updates-to-chrome-platform-support.html
• MP3 audio is now supported by default.
• Due to licensing issues default builds do not support proprietary codecs like H264/AAC, sites like Netflix/Twitter/Instagram/Facebook 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 uses GitLink for better debugging, see #1680
• The chrome_elf.dll is now required, it's used for crashpad (crash reporting).
• CefSettings was moved from CefSharp namespace, there are now specific versions in Wpf, WinForms and OffScreen namespaces, add the relevant namespace prefix or using statement, see #2477 for details.
• Cef.Initialize() (the paramaterless version) was removed. You only need to explicitly call Cef.Initialze when you need to specify custom settings. See #2477

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
