CefSharp Versions Save

June 23, 2024, CEF 126.2.7+g300bb05+chromium-126.0.6478.115 / Chromium 126.0.6478.115

• ⚠️ 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 https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/3636 for some guidance.
