Safe Exam Browser 3.7.1
Summary
This patch update provides an important bug fix for a concurrency issue which caused the client application component of SEB to crash randomly.
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
- Fixed concurrency issue with configuration and browser exam key hash calculation (#883).
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.
