Release v126.2.70 · cefsharp/CefSharp

⚠️ Change from Alloy Bootstrap to Chrome bootstrap as default. The Alloy bootstrap is deprecated and will be removed shortly (upstream) (#4835). Those using the Chrome Runtime previously will need to set CefSharpSettings.RuntimeStyle = CefRuntimeStyle.Chrome;
🛑 Switching from Alloy Bootstrap to Chrome bootstrap appears to ignore cookies from the previous version as the encrpytion keys
are likely different. You can switch back to the Alloy bootstrap if required via cefSettings.ChromeRuntime = false; #4835
CEF now supports the Chromium process singleton, this brings with it changes to how CachePath/RootCachePath are accessed from multiple processes. See #4668 for more details
⚠️ Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable is required. A minimum of VC++ 2019 is required, higher versions are backwards compatible. For those upgrading from a previous version which only required VC++ 2015 minimum see #3636 for some guidance.

For a list of CefSharp specific changes see the 126.2.x Milestone. See also Release Notification.

Due to licensing issues default builds do not support proprietary codecs like H264/AAC, sites like Netflix/Twitter/Instagram/Facebook/Spotify/Apple Music won't play video/audio. See #1479 for more info. MP3 audio is supported, playing MP4 files are not supported.
Anyone new to CefSharp should read the General Usage Guide
This project uses Microsoft SourceLink for better debugging, you can step directly into much of the project source directly.

All paths (CachePath, BrowserSubProcessPath, etc) must be absolute paths, if using a non-absolute path an exception will be throw. See #3102 for details.
When using a RequestContext you must ensure that RequestContextSettings.CachePath is equal to or a child of CefSettings.RootCachePath See #3111 (comment) for details
