Chrome Extension v1.3.1 Release

We are happy to announce a new version of the Securus Chrome Extension, v1.3.1, is now rolling out to all customers. Your Chromebooks will update automatically with the new update.

This is a big release and the main features are listed below.

• Phrase highlighting.

  • The Chrome extension will now highlight the captured word with a red box around the text.

  • Open

    

• Keyboard only handling.

  • The Chrome extension can now handle the ‘keyboard only’ flag when creating library inclusions/exclusions.

• Prevent captures from the same elements.

  • The Chrome extension will now stop capturing the same webpage more than once if the screen hasn’t changed. This will reduce duplicates and false positives.

• Handle Chrome specific pages.

  • The extension will no longer capture from the extension store or other Google Chrome specific web pages or settings.

• Viewport text handling.

  • This is still a work in progress, but the Chrome extension will provide a screenshot of the captured word instead of the top of the page as it did previously. This will help to clarfiy what captued and why.

• Non syncing account handling.

  • Fixed an issue where the username could not be detected and shown as ‘unknown’ if the user account was set to not sync.

We will also have a new Securus cloud console release coming in the next few days.
