Added safeURL encoding for Japanese characters in attached filenames
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
It was not possible to preview a Japanese-titled PDF file attached on a work object. Investigation showed that in case of Japanese characters, file names were not being correctly encoded during the fetch request when JBoss was used. The retrieval worked correctly under Tomcat. In order to ensure consistent encoding, the safeURL API will be used for constructing the URL and for the activities DisplayAttachFile and pzDownloadFromRepository which add the ContentDisposition header.

Reduced triggering for checkbox click calling resize
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When using Microsoft Internet Explorer, checkboxes were slow to respond. For example, when clicking two checkboxes in succession, the second checkbox did not change. This was traced to the Layout Resize function getting called numerous times by the _toDisableSlideOnTabsClick and _resizeActions functions during onload refresh. This has been resolved by updating the system so that an LG header cell item checkbox click will not trigger the resize.

Support added for calling Export to Excel directly from Report Definition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When using Export to Excel directly from a report definition, a date column specified using pxDatetime was shown as applied date format in the resulting Excel file. The column was formatted as expected if the export was called from an activity. This was traced to the recent refactoring of Export to Excel: it was not expected that it would be called directly, but rather that it would be invoked from a report viewer ruleform. In order to support this direct use, step calls have been added to the pzRDExportWrapper activity to call pzMergeAutoGen before the engine call. This step will merge the pyModes pages from pxDateTime control.

Keyboard tab support added added for Focus on Date control
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
It was not possible to use the Tab key to move to a section with date control to launch it, and hitting enter when on a calendar did not open it. To resolve these, tabindex has been added for date/time focus and the calendar will open on enter.

Hover logic updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When using a dropdown in a grid layout configured with a smartInfo to be displayed on Hover, the smart tip was sometimes not displayed when the hover moved from the top to point to the dropdown. If the hover was done quickly, it was displayed. Previously, the hover was calculated only by cursor x, y positions and elements boundaries: to resolve this issue, the logic has been updated to also consider cases where the element is still hovered without meeting these conditions.

Updated SendEmail shape to remove newline code from the subject line
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When using the SendEmail shape to send outgoing email, the message contained HTML tags on the subject line that caused it to be split and copied into the email body. This has been resolved by updating PegaEmailClientImpl.prepareMessage() to replace new line characters with spaces in the subject.

Allowed Property Exceptions will be logged as DEBUG
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
The Logger was printing an ERROR message when evaluating a declarative expression. By design, declarative expressions throw a MissingProperty exception if fetched without the source value present, but this can cause excessive logging on a system where this condition is allowed and expected. In order to support flexible use for this scenario, the system has been updated so that the log level will be switched from ERROR to DEBUG when MissingPropertyExceptions are allowed. Logging will remain as ERROR if exceptions are not allowed.

Case creation service activity unauthorized response modified
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When unauthorized users accessed the URL for creating a case, a blank screen appeared instead of the user being routed to a login screen. This was due to the system returning an HTTP 400 error instead of HTTP 401 response, and was traced to the introduction of an anonymous user type in the authentication activity (Authentication service in the service package). Case creation REST service uses pzCreateCase activity to create the cases, but before introducing the anonymous user type it was exiting from the authentication activity and did not call pzCreateCase. This was traced to the error handling relying on a field value to be in English when instead the site had localized the value, causing a mismatch which did not generate the necessary failed status. To avoid this, the system will now use the new pxStatusFlowSecurity process engine status instead of relying on a text match to determine this error.

Statistic rounding error in ADMSnapshot Agent with Oracle corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
While running the ADMSnapshot Agent, the exception "internal.mgmt.Executable) ERROR com.pega.decision.adm.client.ADMException: Failed to complete ADM Data Mart snapshot" was seen. This was traced to an issue with the rounding of performance statistics when using Oracle, and has been resolved.

Unit testing validation relaxed for external input strategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When trying to test a strategy, the testing transform had to exist in the same ruleset/version as the strategy or it would not resolve. Investigation showed that because the artifacts were in a different ruleset and version build on top of the application that the testing strategy belongs to, validation failed because it was using the platform based ruleset validation. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by relaxing the validation for external input strategy so it does not take into account the ruleset and version of it. This same change has been applied for referenced data transforms.
