Release notes for Safe Exam Browser version 3.6 for macOS:
SEB 3.6 allows to control the accessibility feature VoiceOver (disable, enable) with new settings. In addition, exams with multiple consecutive quizzes are now possible when using the optional SEB Server and SEB Server Moodle plugin.
IMPORTANT: If you created or opened and saved configuration files with SEB 3.5 (macOS or iOS), then you should remove the AppleSpell process from those settings (SEB Settings / Applications / Prohibited Processes) in SEB 3.6 and re-save that config file. Otherwise a lag when entering text could be observed on some macOS versions (see SEB 3.5.1 Release Notes).
New in SEB 3.6 (Build 156D0)
- Added options in Settings to control VoiceOver and other Accessibility settings (iOS).
- On macOS, you can choose following options for VoiceOver: System Default, Enable, Disable. As SEB cannot change system settings for VoiceOver permanently: If enabling VoiceOver in SEB Settings for an exam, users will still have to manually disable VoiceOver in System Settings / Accessibility / VoiceOver or simply close VoiceOver in its overlay window if it is started by the system after a restart.
- Changed default for "Allow to open Preferences window on client" to disabled/false.
- Changed setting for minimum supported macOS version (SEBMinMacOSVersionSupported) to macOS 11 Big Sur. If manually changing this setting, SEB 3.6 should still run on macOS 10.13 - 10.15, but it's highly expected that the WebKit browser engine shipping with these macOS versions isn't fully compatible with some web applications and might even crash in some circumstances.
Optional features which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default
- Now supporting exams with multiple consecutive quizzes when using the optional SEB Server and SEB Server Moodle plugin.
- Attempt to fix random crashes in SEB Server connection and screen proctoring.
