Inspera Integrity Browser (IIB) v2 — Release & Upgrade Guide

What’s New in IIB v2.3.0

• Security & Engine Upgrade: Upgraded from Chromium Embedded Framework, incorporating critical Chromium security patches, modern web-platform capabilities, and updated HTML/JavaScript rendering capabilities for rich assessment content.
   
• Native ARM Support: Native builds for both Apple Silicon (macOS) and Windows ARM devices.
  • macOS: Removes reliance on Apple's Rosetta 2 translation layer, ensuring long-term compatibility and improved performance.
  • Windows: Eliminates emulation overhead, resolving system check failures on Windows ARM devices.
    
    The https://<Your domain name>/get-iib link will auto-detect the device architecture (ARM or Intel) and download the relevant Installer. If it can't detect the device architecture, candidates will see a page with instructions on how to check their device's processor and download the relevant IIB installer.
     
• Excel Question Type Support: Full support for Excel question types on both macOS and Windows, enabling candidates to answer questions directly within embedded O365 Excel interfaces without requiring student Microsoft licenses.
   
• Fewer False positive IRP events: Upgraded the library used in Inspera Resilience Proctoring (IRP), reducing false positives for events like "Person entering frame" and "Person leaving frame". Pre-exam proctoring checks are now present inside the test player instead of external IIB windows.
   
• Modernized UI: Modern web-based onboarding user interface across macOS and Windows.

Candidate Journey

1. Seamless Installation & Auto-Detection:
   • Candidates navigate to https://<Your domain name>/get-iib to download the installer. The link automatically detects the operating system (macOS or Windows) and processor architecture (Intel/x86 vs. Apple Silicon/Windows ARM) to deliver the exact native installer.
      
   • If auto-detection fails, candidates are shown an instruction page explaining how to identify their processor type and select and download the correct installer.

How to Upgrade & Download IIB v2

1. Submit a request to set your institution's minimum and recommended IIB version to 2.3.0
2. Once this is set, whenever a candidate launches IIB and they are on an IIB version less than 2.3.0, they will be asked to update their IIB version as their current version will be obsolete.
3. The updated IIB v2.3.0 can be downloaded by using https://<Your domain name>/get-iib and then needs to be installed. 
   It will download IIB v2.3.0 after the recommended version is set to 2.3.0.
