CEF integration (13.1)
Dreamweaver is now integrated with the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF), an open source framework based on the Google Chromium
project. This integration enables Dreamweaver to control resource loading, navigation, context menus, printing and more, while taking advantage
of the same performance and HTML5 technologies available in the Google Chrome Web browser.
Dreamweaver is integrated with CEF3 version, which is a multi-process implementation using asynchronous messaging to communicate between
Dreamweaver and one or more rendering processes (Webkit + V8 engine). CEF3 uses Chromium’s official Chromium content API and thus
provides performance similar to Google Chrome.
For more information on CEF, see
.

Rendering enhancements
With CEF integration, many enhancements have been done to the way Dreamweaver renders objects and other UI elements.
The following illustrations show how a div with border radius and gradient repeat is rendered in the old Apollo Webkit and after CEF integration.
