Random ID generation changed to use OpenSAML
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
In certain cases, SSO setup with SAML 2.0 failed with the message "Unable to process the SAML WebSSO request: Unable to process SAML2 Authentication". The error was due to the generated ID being sent with a "+" character in it which could not be handled smoothly. To avoid this issue, the system has been changed to use the OpenSAML API instead of using UUID when generating random IDs for all types of WebSSO requests.

PackageComponent updated for use with repositories
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Exporting a zip file created by the Component wizard to a repository resulted in an error, however the same process worked as expected when the zip file was created by the Product wizard. Investigation showed that pxPackageComponent was not kept up to date with new metadata requirements for Artifactory export. This has been resolved by modifying pxPackageComponent step 7 to set Param.ArtifactType to "component" and Param.ArtifactName to [component name]_[component version]. A privilege check has also been added to zipMoveExport.

Application selections only announced when visible
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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.

Assistance and diagnostics added for issue with opening imported 'when'
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade, attempting to open rules that were developed on lower environments and then imported resulted in unknown errors. A workaround has been added to skip and log any corrupted property that might be interfering with the rule opening: enable Skip-Corrupt-Property to put this in place. To improve diagnostics, the new logger NBA-WME-DEBUG has been added. If the error continues after using Skip-Corrupt-Property, Skip-Corrupt-Property should be disabled and NBA-WME-DEBUG should be enabled and kept active until the issue occurs again.

Clarified complex visible 'when' usage with Expression Builder
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Execution was failing while using a complex visible 'when' expression with more than one Boolean operator. This is not incorrect behavior; Expression Builder only honors one Boolean operator, but the expression will work if typed directly and "Run on Client" is checked. This caused confusion due to the system not flagging the expression as unsupported in Expression Builder, and this has been fixed. In addition, the code has been updated to properly handle multiple logical operators so that runtime behavior is correct and no error is reported at save time. However, please note the following important information: For auto-generated sections, complex 'when' expressions will be allowed and honored when typed directly , but Expression Builders will still allow only one operator. Also, for non-auto generated sections and JSP directives, the old limitation of 1 operator will still apply.

Optimized regex decision tree for property and when values
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
A regex expression run against long property names was resulting in system slowdown and stuck requestor threads. A similar issue was encountered with When rules. To resolve this, the decision tree has been optimized.

Setting added to customize using blank Map values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
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".
