Research direction

Start by comparing the nightly branch at commit 022c2a16a0be6f1e64395c29d44a4c6f0495f04c with the referenced Chromium commits, including the removal of the docs server code. Determine whether Chromex can still update against current Chromium and document the supported version or required direction.

Description

It looks like the nightly branch of Chromex hasn't updated since April 6, 2021.

https://github.com/binaryage/chromex/commit/022c2a16a0be6f1e64395c29d44a4c6f0495f04c

This update is based on a Chromium commit from December 26, 2020 (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/3fc45039a8ff08a79015c72d3daf0435523ae278)

I suspect the issue may be due to the removal of the docs server code from the Chromium repo on December 29, 220. (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/683a77f65e106bb06d42bab253e6c31efd16aebc)

I'm very new to both Chromex and Chromium, so there's a great likelihood that I'm misunderstanding what's going on. Is there a more up-to-date version of Chromex available? Has Chromium moved on enough that a new version of Chromex is warranted?
