Version 31.1 released on December 4, 2014.

  • (Windows) When cefpython detects that application is DPI aware (may be enabled by user in .exe properties) then it will set ApplicationSettings."auto_zooming" to "system_dpi" automatically. Added the DpiAware.IsProcessDpiAware method. See revision c11190523824.
  • Added new callbacks to LifespanHandler: _OnAfterCreated, RunModal, DoClose, OnBeforeClose. Thanks to Simon Hatt for the patch (Issue 139).

  • Fixed CEF message loop processing in wx.chromectrl, it could cause performance penalties when opening multiple browser tabs/windows (Issue 129)
  • Fixed the browser cleanup code in the OnClose event in the wxpython examples, it could possibly cause crashes during shutdown (Issue 107)
