2.1.3
df6026b

This version includes important security and stability improvements, updating soon is highly recommended.

  • New "Config Key" feature allowing an exam system to verify that the correct settings are being used. The Config Key can be generated server-side and doesn't change if same settings are loaded in a new SEB version which adds new setting keys (the key is forward and backwards compatible).

  • Added settings to disable Siri and dictation.

  • Now blocking Touch Bar typing suggestions (predictive keyboard) during an exam.

  • Now refusing to re-enter an exam which hasn't been submitted properly before, for example because the Mac was force-rebooted.

  • URL filter now treats query strings consistently in SEB for macOS 2.1.3 and Windows 2.2.1.

  • Implemented functionality for separate Allow Reload / Show Reload Warning / Allow Navigating setting for exam and new browser windows.

  • Setting "enable right mouse button" now also works in SEB for macOS: Allows to use the right mouse button/context menu on special website elements.

  • Now loading SEBClientSettings.seb also from the /Library/Preferences directory: This directory is valid for all users on a Mac and usually only writable with administrator rights. This improvement makes it easier to configure managed SEB clients which are used by multiple users.

  • Fixed that SEB in some cases didn't switch off automatic spelling correction.

  • The screen sharing detector now also works correctly when connecting to a Mac using Apple ID (Back to My Mac).

  • Improved startup process: Now client settings saved persistently on the Mac are not considered at all when starting SEB by opening a config file or config link.

  • Fixed that double clicking a .seb config file several times could lock SEB.

  • The About SEB splash screen now cannot hide alerts and lock SEB if those were displayed modally.

  • Fixed modal lock when webpage tries to download a font.

  • In case SEB cannot terminate an implicitly prohibited process (trying to display an overlay/panel window), a lock screen is displayed requiring to enter the quit/unlock password.

Note: The final release build number is 29E7.
