browservice

• Upgrade to CEF 128.4.8 (Chromium 128.0.6613.114).
• Fix issue #98 by stopping using regexes for URL parsing in the Retrojsvice plugin.

• Upgrade to CEF 126.2.0 (Chromium 126.0.6478.62).
• Start making prebuilt patched CEF binaries available (filenames starting with patched_cef_), enabling building modified versions of Browservice without having to build CEF/Chromium from scratch.

• Upgrade to CEF 123.0.12 (Chromium 123.0.6312.107).

• Upgrade to CEF 120.2.7 (Chromium 120.0.6099.234).
• Add support for specifying SSL/TLS certificate checking exceptions using the --certificate-check-exceptions command line option.
• Add support for controlling the control bar visibility (useful for kiosk software) using the --show-control-bar command line option.
• Add support for disabling client forward/back button forwarding that may cause compatibility issues with some clients using the --vice-opt-navigation-forwarding Retrojsvice plugin command line option.

• Upgrade to CEF 119.4.3 (Chromium 119.0.6045.159).
• Implement support for page zooming through the --initial-zoom command line argument and hotkeys Ctrl+K/J/M for zoom in/out/reset.
• Implement support for setting font render parameters for the browser view using the --browser-font-render-mode command line option.
  • Set the default font render mode to antialiased without subpixel rendering (previously, the system default was used, which typically includes subpixel rendering).

• Upgrade to CEF 116.0.15 (Chromium 116.0.5845.111).

• Upgrade to CEF 114.2.12 (Chromium 114.0.5735.199).
• Add two new vice plugin API extensions (PluginNavigationControlSupportQuery and WindowTitle) which are useful for alternative vice plugins (for example servers for native clients); the behavior with the default Retrojsvice plugin does not change.

• Upgrade to CEF 114.2.10 (Chromium 114.0.5735.110)
• Fix issue #33 (also discussed in #96).

• Upgrade to CEF 111.2.6 (Chromium 111.0.5563.65)

• Upgrade to CEF 110.0.28 (Chromium 110.0.5481.104).

• Upgrade to CEF 109.1.11 (Chromium 109.0.5414.87).

• Upgrade to CEF 107.1.11 (Chromium 107.0.5304.110).
• Include libidn2.so.0 in AppImage (Issue #89).

• Upgrade to CEF 106.1.1 (Chromium 106.0.5249.119).
• Use CEF clipboard patch (previously used on Windows) on Linux as well instead of relying on Xvfb clipboard.

• Upgrade to CEF 104.4.18.
• Use Ubuntu 20.04 to build all AppImages.

• Upgrade to CEF 99.2.13.
• Implement optional soft navigation buttons in the browser area (--show-soft-navigation-buttons).
• Block local file access through file:/// by default. (There may be ways around the block, so you still should not allow untrusted users to access Browservice.)
• Fix bug where some Vulkan libraries required by CEF were not included in the AppImage.

(Note: The AArch64 AppImage was compiled using Ubuntu 20.04 instead of 18.04 due to CEF compatibility issues, thus it may not work on older Linux distributions.)

• Add support for running the proxy on Windows.
• Upgrade to CEF 96.0.18.
• Switch to a new incompatible vice plugin API version 2000000 (incompatibility necessary to fix design flaws that caused issues on Windows).
• Drop support for i386 on Linux as Chromium no longer supports it and sandbox is already broken.

• Upgrade to CEF 94.3.0.
• Implement bookmarks.
• Implement URL input from client browser (by appending /goto/URL to the URL field in the client browser).

• Upgrade to CEF 90.6.7.

• Upgrade to CEF 88.2.6.
• Add support for file uploads.
• Define plugin API and reorganize the code into two reusable and replaceable parts that communicate through the API: Browservice (manages browser using CEF) and Retrojsvice plugin (serves clients).
• Major refactoring and reimplementation of parts of the code as a byproduct of the reorganization.
