JavaScript Binding(JSB) issue

See cefsharp/CefSharp#1203 for the bug tracking this issue

Current implementation relies on process-per-tab command line flag to limit the number of browser process per ChromiumWebBrowser instance to one, this worked well up until version 58 where the flag no longer works. Chromium will likely re-add support, there is no timeframe on the open tickets as yet, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=719961 and https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=717459

A handler in the main process for notification of sub-process creation and termination, and to receive IPC messages originating from the sub-process.

CEF will likely add a handler that can be used for resolving this issue and maintain the exact same functionality as exists today without having to use process-per-tab command line see https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/2279/expose-custom-sub-process-handlers

As both options have no set timeframe we can rewrite our currently implementation to work slightly differently, bound objects will need to be registered slightly later, so won't be avaliable immediatly after the V8Context has been created. To get around this an event can be added to notify subscribers (in javascript) when object binding has been finished.

@lufave it is not, try gitter for cefsharp: https://gitter.im/cefsharp/CefSharp

@perlun - Sure sorry I wasn't suggesting making anything current private. I was more saying for those who may need to compile CEF with optional flags providing an easier solution to do all 3. I did like your idea of allowing swappable cores that CEFSharp was on top of (depending how feasible) but container (or other automation) to do:

establishing the environment and dependencies
running the CEF automated build process with optional build args from https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/BranchesAndBuilding#markdown-header-automated-method
running the build script from https://github.com/cefsharp/cef-binary
running the build script from https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp

would make it easier. I already came pretty close previously to setting this up. Just trying to think of features that might help others.

Great idea! I missed the pricing, is that listed somewhere?

Comments welcome.

made my pledge. Pleased to hear there is a roadmap to resolving the JSB issue, have had to move our application back to v52 due to the memory issues and my team are slowly turning against me as they can't use some new dandy css command..

Thank you so much!

Not sure why the patreon page got removed, certainly unfortunate. I don't know if $1000 per release would have sustained CEFSharp on the every other release schedule, but if so there certainly seemed like more than enough interest to hit that target (even given minimal advertising) given it was already at ~$800 if I remember correctly. Is there another platform that would work for recurring? Is there a way to bring the project into compliance with whatever issue they had?

Frustratingly patreon has also suspended my account this morning. have sent them a request to revert but they have also given no detail as to the reasoning other than just fraud. Nice that they waited until after they had taken my money for this months support (with the exception to Alex as his page was down) as I've mentioned already, if your able to setup an alternative I will re-pledge the same per month.
