New in SEB 3.2.4:

  • Blocking AnyGPT by default.
  • Fixed: Untimely modal alert freezes SEB. Modal alerts were sometimes displayed behind the black background covering windows.
  • Security improvements.
  • Fixed download directory bug from SEB 3.2.3 for macOS.
  • Now also showing "Downloads not Allowed" alert in modern WebView if settings don't allow downloads and in one case for downloads in classic WebView on macOS.
  • Now checking if download directory is correctly set when performing download in WKWebView. If not, the Downloads directory is used.
  • Now also correctly handling PDF files in modern WebView when downloading is disabled (then PDF files even with a "download" link are displayed instead of downloaded).
  • Considering the setting newBrowserWindowByLinkPolicy = openInSameWindow: Don't open a PDF in a new window then.
  • Now also handling settings "Open files after downloading" and "Download and open PDF files instead of displaying them inline" correctly in the modern WebView.
  • Fixed "Choose file to upload ... by only allowing to upload the same file downloaded before" policy, which was not working in the modern WebView. Also resetting previous download paths when reconfiguring SEB.
  • When using the optional SEB Server, an SEB client can be locked (with a red lock screen with optional, individual message) and again unlocked by the server.
  • Now sending notification to SEB Server when any lock screen is closed on client (by entering the quit password).
  • Fixed a notification issue when using the raise/lower hand feature.

New since 3.2.3/3.2.2/3.2.1:

  • Fixed downloads of website generated files (using "data:" protocol scheme) in modern WebView.
  • Now downloads of any file types and "blob:"-generated files are possible when using the modern WebView and macOS 11.3 or newer.
  • Fixed crash when closing some web pages.
  • Fixed: Force Click lookup was working in the modern WebView.
  • Fixed red lock screen after user switch disappeared without user action.
  • Latest TeamViewer version wasn't blocked by default.
  • Added fix for a possible crash when closing a temporary browser window while not running on the main thread.
  • Improved logging verbosity, to prevent log files to be full of repeating log events.
  • Added macOS 13 Ventura as option for minimum macOS version.
  • Fixed reload key shortcut not enabled correctly according to reload settings and selected window (main/additional).
  • Fixed a null reference exception in injected Javascript code, related to the "download" attribute on links.
  • Fixed Cancel button in the macOS SEB Server (optional) fallback password alert and improved alert feedback text in case of an empty fallback password.

Optional features which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default

  • Massively improved error handling when connecting to SEB Server with better error messages which can help SEB Server and exam administrators to fix server-side issues.
  • Added support for fallback option, when connecting to SEB Server fails completely. In that case, an alternative start URL can be configured and fallback optionally protected with a new password.
  • Improved sending log events, to prevent loosing single events due to temporary connectivity issues.
  • Now sending device info to SEB Server earlier in the connection process.
  • Renew expired SEB Server OAuth token.
  • Fixed cleaning up of pending requests to SEB Server.
  • Fixed missing pingInterval SEB Server connection setting caused pings being send continuously and SEB crashing after a while.

Note: This version does NOT contain the Zoom integration for exam proctoring or exam support which was contained in SEB 3.2rc. There is a non-public SEB Alliance Edition, which continues to support Zoom integration. If you are interested to use this Zoom integration, contact alliance@safeexambrowser.org.
