CONTENTS
--------

cefclient   Contains the cefclient sample application configured to build
            using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates
            a wide range of CEF functionalities.

cefsimple   Contains the cefsimple sample application configured to build
            using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates
            the minimal functionality required to create a browser window.

Debug       Contains libcef.dll, libcef.lib and other components required to
            build and run the debug version of CEF-based applications. By
            default these files should be placed in the same directory as the
            executable and will be copied there as part of the build process.

include     Contains all required CEF header files.

libcef_dll  Contains the source code for the libcef_dll_wrapper static library
            that all applications using the CEF C++ API must link against.

Release     Contains libcef.dll, libcef.lib and other components required to
            build and run the release version of CEF-based applications. By
            default these files should be placed in the same directory as the
            executable and will be copied there as part of the build process.

Resources   Contains resources required by libcef.dll. By default these files
            should be placed in the same directory as libcef.dll. By default
            these files should be placed in the same directory as libcef.dll
            and will be copied there as part of the build process.

  locales need to be distributed. If no locale is configured the default locale
  of "en-US" will be used. Locale file loading can be disabled completely using
  CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The locales folder path can be customized
  using CefSettings.locales_dir_path.

    cef_100_percent.pak
    cef_200_percent.pak
    devtools_resources.pak

    d3dcompiler_47.dll (required for Windows Vista and newer)
    libEGL.dll
    libGLESv2.dll
  Note: Without these components HTML5 accelerated content like 2D canvas, 3D
  CSS and WebGL will not function.
