Trailing "/" added to public links for SSO use
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
Links generated using pyWorkLinkWithLabel were not working with SSO due to not having a trailing "/" on the URL. This has been corrected by adding code to append the "/" if the public link url doesn't end with it.

Application selections only announced when visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
The elements of the application switcher were being announced by the NVDA screen reader even when toggled off, i.e. not visible. The issue was occurring because the focus was remaining at the search bar even after closing the app switcher window, and has been resolved by adding the necessary logic to switch the focus.

Navigation icons added for use in offline mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
When using an offline mobile app, clicking on an image / link on the home page for navigation resulted in the error “Resource missing. See client logs.” This was traced to a missed use case that resulted in some icons not being available in the package, and has been corrected by including the following:webwb/py-menu-toggle.png webwb/pzgrid_downarrow.png webwb/pymenuleftarrow.png webwb/pymenurightarrow.png webwb/pymodal_mask_img.png webwb/py-grid-sort-down.svg

Handling added for disabling weekends when no weekends are available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
A browser exception was generated while selecting the option “Disable weekends”. This was traced to a malformed array of weekends in a scenario where the Data-Admin-Calendar instance had all business days checked (i.e., no weekends). To resolve this, DatePickerAssembly and pzGenerateDatePicker have been updated to handle the case when there are no weekends available in the Data-Admin-Calendar instance.

Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After upgrade to from Pega 6 to Pega 8 some of the Map Value rules were not working. This was due to the handling for blank default values which was changed in Pega 7. In order to support backwards compatibility, a new 'when' rule has been added which allows customizing whether or not blank values are allowed for the Map value default columns. pyAllowBlankValues will default to "false".

Documentation updated for accents and special characters used in search
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
The "Pega search API" article has been updated to reflect that the search functionality in Pega Platform does not match accented words with unaccented. For example, searching for santé and sante will retrieve different results. In addition, Domain Specific Language (DSL) includes special characters for use when searching, for example '-', '_', '!', '@'. However, the system retrieves various results depending on the way the special characters are used in the search query. If the query contains special characters that are not escaped, the system may retrieve incorrect results. For example, not escaping the slash mark in the 25/02 query may cause the system to ignore the special character.

SSLContext created using protocol from REST connector rule form
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.5
After upgrading to IBM websphere v9.0.5.6 or higher, API calls Like REST, Connect-HTTP etc were failing to connect to endpoints using TLSv1.2. Investigation showed that although the connector was configured to send TLSv1.2, the ClientHello handshake was triggered for TLSv1.3. Because the SSLContext was created with highest version supported by protocol in the WAS container, this has been resolved by modifying the code to create SSLContext based on the the protocol selected in the REST connector rule form. Additionally, please note that the Connect-HTTP connector has been deprecated and the Connect-REST capabilities in the platform should be used instead.
