3.0.1

3 years ago

Summary

This update contains a fix for the issues some users of SEB 3.0.0 observed specifically in BYOD environments. The new version should prevent that anti-malware software falsely identifies SEB as malware (false-positive detection using heuristics and similar algorithms). SEB 3.0.1 does no longer access the Windows Registry by default, this means that power options (shutdown, reboot) are no longer disabled and the options on the Windows Security Screen (accessed by Ctrl+Alt+Del) are not removed.

Changes

  • Implemented new default behavior to bypass SEB service as default.
  • Updated browser engine to version 81.3.100 (Chromium version 81.0.4044.138).
  • Fixed issue with incorrect virtual machine detection (#8).
  • Fixed handling of spaces in configuration file paths.
  • Fixed issue with favicon (#12).
  • Fixed audio / video playback not stopping when closing additional browser window (#13).

Requirements

SEB 3.0.1 requires the prerequisites listed below in order to work correctly. These are automatically installed with the setup bundle and need only be manually installed when using the MSI packages.

Installation

Please use the setup bundle for installation! The setups are mainly provided for system administrators who require MSI packages for their automated installation procedures.

3.0.0

3 years ago

The next major version of Safe Exam Browser for Windows. SEB 3.x for Windows has been completely refactored and uses Chromium as integrated browser engine. However, SEB 3.0.0 does not yet provide the complete feature set of SEB 2.x (e.g. no Additional Resources). Below a list of the most prominent new features and changes:

  • New, embedded browser engine (Chromium Version 79.0.3945.130 for SEB 3.0.0).
  • Dedicated builds for 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
  • Supports kiosk mode switch when reconfiguring (e.g. from Create New Desktop to Disable Explorer Shell).
  • Action Center (side menu) with same functionality as taskbar (i.e. access to applications and system controls).
  • Lock Screen which is activated if a prohibited application can’t be terminated.
  • Access to developer tools of browser engine (for web developers).
  • Real-time access to SEB application log (e.g. to test features like the URL filter).
  • New settings to control browser session (for SEB-Moodle Deeper Integration).
  • Improved user interface with new features (e.g. thumbnails of open windows in task view [ALT+TAB]).
  • Completely automated build system with unit tests.

Requirements

SEB 3.0.0 requires the prerequisites listed below in order to work correctly. These are automatically installed with the setup bundle and need only be manually installed when using the MSI packages.
