It is now possible to modify the configuration files before rather than after installation, so the students can directly install SEB without patching it by additional configuration files after installation. Also, an Administrative Install via network is now possible. Downloading a zip file, as in former SEB versions up to 1.4.1.
- SEB MacOSX 1.5 supports additional browser windows and improves integrity of the SEB environment by elevating all SEB windows on a higher windows level, improving suppression of other applications opening alert windows, requesting to become active and switch to foreground. New security features include clearing the clipboard, preventing screenshots, blocking browsing forward/backward, preventing possible security holes in Flash content, easening the upload of files edited in third party applications and offering fine grade settings for opening and blocking links in new browser windows.

It is now possible to do the configuration in a new GUI editor called SebWindowsConfig.exe using mouse clicks, without directly editing the initialisation files SebStarter.ini and MsgHook.ini. The file format of these ini files has been simplified and is now better human-readable.
- SEB 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 fix three bugs (Restoring the old registry settings when quitting SEB, creating correct shortcuts/icons on Public Desktop, reloading current browser page using the F5 key)
