CEF has just upgraded to the latest Chromium version in commit https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/commits/ca159c57bd1230a5f3483420c4af6580a4d929ef

As there are only a few minor bug fixes and enhancements I'll likely form the 100 branch and release 101 soon as a new CEF build is available (skipping the -pre release). Larger changes will be deferred until M102

• The CefSharp.MinimalExample/tree/cefsharp/101 branch has been updated for testing purposes.
• For .Net Core/5/6 the Ijwhost.dll file is required, see below for details

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.
