Enhancement added to modify URL encryption for load testing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
An enhancement has been added which allows conditionally modifying URL encryption for load testing. This uses the flag crypto/useportablecipherforurlencryption: if true, a portable hardcoded key is used to encrypt the URLs and if false, a dynamically generated key per thread/requestor is used to encrypt the URL.

Extra checks added for pasting Excel content to rich-text editor
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Copying content from Excel into rich-text editor pasted an image of the content either instead of the actual content or in addition to the actual content. This was traced to the handling of the isHTML flag: the flag should be set to true when there is HTML content in the datatransfer item or while pasting images (!isHTML is the condition in if). However, the sequence of the data items in the datatransfer can change depending on the browser/OS, causing isHTML to sometimes not be set to true before it is used in the condition while pasting images. To resolve this, changes have been made to the pasteHandler in the pzpega_ckeditor_extras file so proper checks are made to figure out the type of data from the clipboard that is being pasted.

Column formatting default added to Export to Excel to match Export to PDF
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After running the pyGetWorkHistory report in Designer Studio, exporting the report to PDF showed the correct data format for the Message Key column while exporting to Excel did not. In the Report Definition UI and in Export to PDF (which use the same logic), when the backing property of a column has no control and the column does not have a format, the control falls back to a "Default" control. The "Default" control localized the string values in the Report Definition UI and Export to PDF, therefore changing the Message Key to be the correct value in those places. The similar logic to explicitly handle the "no control" scenario has now also been added to Export to Excel to resolve this issue.

Added handling for deprecated UI Kit in Pulse OpenURLInWindow
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After upgrade, clicking on a link in a Pulse comment opened a new window with an error message indicating no content was returned. Investigation showed that if an older deprecated version of the UI kit was used, 'Open URL in window' was configured as Run Script function. The more recent versions use an OpenURLInWindow action. To resolve this, the script has been updated to use an action and pass the correct parameters.

Handlign added for Japanese half-space character during DB query
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
After creating a Report Definition based on the Unicode/Japanese text property with summary list, the list was visible from Report viewer but any full size space used by the summary filter was unintentionally trimmed to half size space. As a result, the database query could not find the item. This has been resolved by modifying the setGroupByInputs API in the pega_report_summary js file to use the unicode space char(\u0020) instead of \s in regex. The Japanese space character will be replaced in the pzDrillDownReport activity step 2 for the query use, and will be set back to the Japanese space character in pyFilterValue.

Updated Decision Table validation for multiple OR conditions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
When the Decision Table had multiple OR conditions, the table was verified as consistent even when two rows had the same value. Analysis showed that when Show Conflicts encountered multiple 'or' conditions in a row that matched the same conditions in other rows, it considered them to be different rows. This has been corrected.

Corrected table row highlighting on iPad
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
A table row was highlighted when clicked on an iPad in landscape view, but when the device was rotated to portrait view the row was not highlighted. This was traced to the background CSS overriding the selected style, and has been corrected by modifying py-responsive-overrides.css.

Parameter page update added to improve backwards compatibility for ShowTestLibraryTab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.4
An error was observed on the first attempt to modify the 'when' rule "ShowTestLibraryTab" located in PegaProjectMgmt:08-01-01. Analysis showed the when rule (Always, Never) which was called from this rule was not found, which was an issue traced to the Rule-Obj-When function alias parameter name being changed from "strWhen" to "blockName" in the 8.1 release. Subsequent attempts to save the modified rule succeeded due to step#7 in the Embed-UserFunction.pzPopulateDropdownFBUIParameters activity upgrading the pyParameters page with the latest data. To resolve this backwards compatibility issue, the activity step#6 has been modified to upgrade the parameter name for the Rule-Obj-When function alias.
