Summary

This feature update introduces the optional screen proctoring functionality, resolves an issue with the isolated clipboard and adds various new configuration options as well as important bug fixes and improvements.

Important

Starting with release version 3.4.0, the Browser Exam Key of SEB for Windows is platform-specific, i.e. its value is different for the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) build of the same version!

Changes

  • Added Indonesian translation.
  • Fixed bug with registry data access.
  • Implemented always on configuration for display and system.
  • Implemented configuration values for critical and low battery charge thresholds.
  • Implemented configuration value for lock screen on user session change.
  • Fixed issue with registry monitoring and minor improvements (#747, #777).
  • Increased spacing between lock screen options.
  • Ensured pinch zooming also respects the zooming configuration value.
  • Implemented cross-window sharing of clipboard content for isolated clipboard policy (#764).
  • Added new configuration keys to allow down- and uploads separately and disabled down- and uploads by default.
  • Introduced new configuration key to control verification of cursor configuration (#755).
  • Added missing indirect wired video output technology.
  • Updated browser engine to version 121.3.130 (Chromium version 121.0.6167.184).

The following optional features and changes are disabled by default and need to be configured individually:

  • Disabled video proctoring with Jitsi Meet and Zoom as the functionality is deprecated and will be removed in a subsequent release.
  • Revised proctoring architecture to allow for simultaneous activation of different implementations.
  • Implemented screen proctoring functionality including metadata collection and network redundancy.

Known Issues

  • Screen readers NVDA and JAWS are not compatible with kiosk mode Create New Desktop. If their usage is required, please use kiosk mode Disable Explorer Shell where they should work as expected.

Requirements

SEB 3.7.0 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.

Installation

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