Mentioned user in Pulse correctly converted to hyperlink
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
In the Interaction portal, mentioning a user in Pulse using @ was not converting the name to the user name with hyperlink for Email Interactions. @ mentions were working as as expected in Phone Interactions. This problem was introduced as part of using OWASP to sanitize HTML user input in Rich Text support, and was due to OWASP converting @ to an HTML entity. To resolve this, the @ will be excepted from HTML conversion.

Optional feature to improve pxETReport performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
Poor performance was seen when using pxETReport. This was caused by the system loading the recent cases widget by looking up all the ET cases within last 30 days, opening each ET case to check if it is from the same pyFrom email address, and then if yes, opening its related service case. On a complex system, this was potentially a slow process. To improve performance, the "Related cases" feature can now be disabled through an overridable 'when' rule.

Performance improvements for opening cases with embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
Opening cases containing email interactions was taking an excessive amount of time. This was traced to the use of embedded images, icons, etc, in the message body and signature, and was caused by the pyGetAttachmentsbyCID activity running multiple times due to discussion threads that were duplicated over and over. In some cases, more than 360 calls to the database were seen. This has been resolved by shifting some case opening processes to executing when the listener thread gets the mail, and storing the results in a .pynote property, and a URL will be used to get images instead of embedding them directly to the HTML. If preferred, this can be reverted to the previous behavior by changing the when rule (pyUseCachedHtmlForDisplay) to false.

Webchat bot interaction box cleared on submit
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
After upgrade, when using Google Chrome responses to webchat bot questions were not getting cleared from the chat input window after the enter/send button was clicked. This has been resolved by changing the order of refresh section and set value and disabling submit on refresh when refreshing pzSubmitArea.

Webchat interaction timeout updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.3
Interaction timeout was not working as expected in Webchat channels. This was traced to the system looking for total interaction timeout instead of user inactive timeout, along with the Web chat interaction case clipboard page being stale. To resolve this, timestamp propagation has been updated for pxProcess in Work-Channel-Interaction.pxAcquireInteraction.

Pega Keystore supported for hotfix signature verification
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
In order to support custom trust managers which require an alternate method for supplying the root certificate via a platform trust store, an enhancement has been added to allow Pega Keystore to be used as a hotfix verification source. Detailed information on this can be found in https://docs.pega.com/keeping-current-pega/87/verifying-hotfix-authenticity-using-pega-keystore

Patchdate values made unique
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The hotfix manager was incorrectly indicating that a previous hotfix was not installed or was partially installed and should be reinstated. This scenario was created during security updates where the missing/incomplete hotfix had been deliberately deleted from the database, and has been resolved by adding an update which will force patchdate to be unique when adding duplicate code resources during tests.

Added handling for clustered index on the pr4_rule table during migration
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When attempting to migrate the rules schema to RULES85 and temp data schema DATA85, the upgrade was becoming stuck in a loop while working to generate declarative indexes for Rule-HTML-Paragraph. Investigation showed the infinite looping happened only for classes mapped to the pr4_rule and with instance count of more than (num of threads * batch size). This was due to the presence of a clustered index on the pr4_rule table causing the resultset to return an infinite number of records in SQLServer, and has been resolved with an update to leverage the total record count to iterate the resultset instead of depending on the resultset.next().
