Looks like creating a release from commit a16f16d caused a problem. The Readme.md changes don't trigger a build as they are text only, so creating a release from the same commit also doesn't trigger a build.

I've had to delete the release and tag, update some xml doc to trigger a build and recreate the release.

The 93.1.110-pre release packages have been pushed to Nuget.org and should be available shortly.

All packages require Visual C++ 2019

For the .Net 4.5.2 and above

• https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.WinForms/93.1.110-pre
• https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.Wpf/93.1.110-pre
• https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.OffScreen/93.1.110-pre

For .Net Core 3.1/.Net 5.0

• https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.WinForms.NETCore/93.1.110-pre
• https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.Wpf.NETCore/93.1.110-pre
• https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.OffScreen.NETCore/93.1.110-pre

NOTE A minimum of .Net Core 3.1 is required (for .Net 3.0 which is no longer supported by Microsoft you'll need to use the older packages).

---

• The CefSharp.MinimalExample/tree/cefsharp/93 branch has been created for testing purposes.
• For .Net Core/5 the Ijwhost.dll file is required, see below for details

Known Issues

• Older Non-SdkStyle projects (packages.config) when using VS2017 still have issues when opening a fresh checkout workaround I had attempted didn't work (details in Nuget Package Restructure #3319 (comment)). For now closing/opening the project will resolve the issue. A message is displayed to the build output log when the files weren't copied as expected.

Ijwhost.dll
To support C++/CLI libraries in .NET Core, ijwhost was created as a shim for finding and loading the runtime. All C++/CLI libraries are linked to this shim, such that ijwhost.dll is found/loaded when the C++/CLI library is loaded.

The CefSharp.Wpf.HwndHost is also available on Nuget.org. Designed as a drop in replacement for the CefSharp.Wpf control for those that want a native control (similar to using a WindowsFormsHost) that supports WPF Binding etc. Standard AirSpace issues apply.
