flutter_chromium_webview 0.5.5

Chromium webview for Windows, macOS and Linux using CEF textures, and Android using the system WebView, with browser events and origin-restricted channels.

0.5.5

• Allow macOS hosts with native media controls to disable Chromium's duplicate system media session with CEF_SYSTEM_MEDIA_CONTROLS=0.
• Find Homebrew and CMake.app installations when building from Xcode's restricted PATH; clarify missing CMake errors.
• Mark CEF preparation as intentionally running on every build.
• Support host-coordinated YouTube crash recovery and expose video playback quality diagnostics.
• Preserve Android autoplay media playback when its Activity is minimized.
• Bound the Metal texture cache to one source and three destinations, clean it up on resize/disposal, and drain paint autorelease pools.
• Allow macOS termination to finish after Flutter's asynchronous exit response.

0.5.4

• Add configurable keychainBehavior parameter (ChromiumKeychainBehavior.mock vs .system) to ChromiumWebViewController.initialize.
• Default to mock keychain on macOS to prevent unnecessary login keychain access prompts.
• Support CEF_KEYCHAIN_BEHAVIOR environment variable override (mock or system).
• Require flutter_chromium_webview_platform_interface ^0.1.7.

0.5.3

• Separate deterministic macOS core/local media RSS validation from explicitly invoked live YouTube reporting; preserve strict memory assertions and external blocked verdicts.

• Gate platform-interface publication on its API/example checks and consumer compatibility, independently of native/live services.

• Require platform interface 0.1.6, which publishes the JavaScript evaluation/cancellation, click-count and browser-crash APIs used by this plugin.

• Fix macOS Chromium host embedding and preserve native startup/failure diagnostics.

• Recover macOS browsers after renderer or GPU-process crashes through the existing browser recreation contract; arbitrary page state is not preserved.

• Improve macOS playback telemetry and independent validation-stage reporting.

• Preserve Android integration startup and crash diagnostics.

• Refresh installation, runnable examples, macOS setup and release documentation; correct the iOS support claim because the release pubspec does not register that backend.

• Exclude monorepo dependency overrides from publication and keep the bundled example's published dependency resolution independent of sibling checkouts.

• Document remaining macOS memory limits: proposed 8 GB support is unverified, historical strict RSS acceptance remains failed, and long-term memory boundedness is not established. No allocator fix or relaxed memory threshold is included.

0.5.2

• Fix JavaScript mocked player properties in integration test.
• Prevent git tracking of temporary and machine-specific profiling artifacts.

0.5.1

• Complete public API documentation audit. Documented all public classes, methods, and fields.
• Resolve analyzer warnings and info-level lints.
• Exclude large binary artifacts from publication to comply with package size limits.

0.5.0

• Add macOS CEF and YouTube playlist support.
• Fix macOS architecture configuration and linking issues.
• Require the latest platform interface version.

0.3.1

• Correct Linux pointer coordinates at fractional and high device pixel ratios.
• Require the platform interface version that includes named browser profiles.
• Fix automated publication authentication and validate release tag versions.

0.3.0

• Add macOS support using native CEF framework.
• Add iOS support using a headless WKWebView implementation.
• Add Android API 24+ support through the system Chromium WebView and a native Flutter platform view.
• Preserve browser identity when attaching a view without a desktop texture.
• Add emulator validation for browser lifecycle, origin-restricted channels, HTML and playback settings.
• Keep WSL validation in a separate Linux checkout to protect Windows build metadata.

0.2.1

• Fix Windows packaging, stabilize integration tests and update version status.

0.2.0

• Add Windows (x64) backend support.
• Provide full integration with CEF sandboxed runner for Windows.

0.1.1

• Fix platform interface class exports for pub release.

0.1.0

• Initial release.
• Chromium Embedded Framework web view for Flutter desktop using off-screen rendering and Flutter textures.
• Experimental Linux x64 support: navigation, JavaScript execution and channels, mouse and keyboard input, resizing, popups, dialogs and context menus.
• ChromiumWebView accepts an optional initialUrl.
• Talks to native code through flutter_chromium_webview_platform_interface.
