IMPORTANT:

  • Only pygtk_.py and kivy_.py examples were tested and do work fine. Other examples provided with the installer do have issues.
  • For PyQt4/PySide examples that do work fine with this release see Issue 234 and this comment

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.103.

Changes in API that break backward compatibility, thus require fixes in existing code:

  • Add Browser.NotifyMoveOrResizeStarted() - needs to be called in MOVE/SIZE
    window operations.
  • On Linux it is required to set CEF browser's window bounds during resize events.
    Add Browser.SetBounds() to do that.
  • On Linux the windowRect argument in WindowInfo.SetAsChild() is now required
  • On Linux you must call WindowUtils.InstallX11ErrorHandlers() - see description
    for details
  • When using offscreen rendering you must set the ApplicationSettings >
    "windowless_rendering_enabled" option to True
  • New args in LifespanHandler.OnBeforePopup() - targetDisposition
    and userGesture - wxpython.py example updated
  • New arg in RequestHandler.OnResourceRedirect() - request object, updated
    the wxpython.py example
  • Remove 'accept_lang' arg in JavascriptDialogHandler.OnJavascriptDialog()
  • Remove LifespanHandler.RunModal()
  • Change RequestHandler._OnBeforePluginLoad args

Other changes in API:

  • Change ApplicationSettings. Add new: user_data_path,
    windowless_rendering_enabled, persist_user_preferences, accept_language_list.
    Modify: background_color is now cross-platform (previously it was Mac only).
    Remove: release_dcheck_enabled - all examples updated
  • Change BrowserSettings. Add new: windowless_frame_rate, background_color,
    accept_language_list. Remove: user_style_sheet_location,
    java_disabled, accelerated_compositing, author_and_user_styles_disabled.
  • Add Browser.CloseDevTools()
  • Remove Browser.ParentWindowWillClose() in upstream (keep dummy for BC)
  • Request.GetHeaderMap() will not include the Referer value if any
    and SetHeaderMap() will ignore Referer value
  • Remove the cefpython.Request.Flags values: AllowCookies, ReportLoadTiming,
    ReportRawHeaders.
  • Add Browser.TryCloseBrowser()
  • There were many more API changes in upstream, but are not yet implemented
    in cefpython. A list of changes since v31..v47 is available in the
    top comment in src/cefpython.pyx
