SEB 3.3 improves security, allows to export SEB settings as configuration links or QR codes and contains issue fixes.
When using the optional SEB Server, the App Signature Key functionality allows automated application integrity checks similar to the manual use of the Browser Exam Key. Additionally, the new server-driven Browser Exam Key can be used for improved SEB Server integration with LMS/assessment systems like Moodle.

- Improved comparing settings from MDM server with current settings by also correctly comparing single Windows prohibitedProcesses.
- Main browser window is closed when loosing network connection in OpenOlat: Preventing that web application can close the SEB main browser window (the one containing the exam page, where startURL was loaded in).
- Added missing classic WebView WebUIDelegate webViewClose: method (event handler called when web application attempts to close a WebView).
