Hazelcast will be used to determine node presence
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When calling logoff from the end user portal, sporadic PresenceStandardLifeCycleListener exceptions were seen during high load periods. This was traced to changes made in the Service Discovery behavior: when there is an issue with the node and heartbeats are missed, the node goes to Safe Mode. This caused the topology to change and trigger clearing off presence sessions, but the node still received service requests and this issue was seen. To resolve this, an updated has been made so the system will rely on the Hazelcast listener instead of service discovery to determine whether a node has left.

Handling added for new case type using reuse case life cycle
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Creating a new Case Type in a branch ruleset using the 'Reuse case life cycle' option was not working, and the error "branch rulseset not a candidate" was generated. pxCreateCaseDataPages that are called as part of creating a case rely on Param.RuleSetName; generally this parameter is set in the param page when other assets are created. When Reuse case life cycle was selected, other assets were not created and param.RuleSetname was not set. This affected pxCreateCaseDataPages when branch parameter was provided. This was a missed use case, and has been resolved by setting param.RuleSetName from param.ruleset to fix the issue.

Custom header character encoding for Subject added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Case correspondence that contained a Subject with accent characters such as "Invitation à être" was being rejected by MailJet on the basis of encoding issues on the "Thread-Topic" when using custom headers. The error "BAD HEADER SECTION, Non-encoded non-ASCII data (and not UTF-8)" was generated. This was traced to the Send Email Smart Shape handling when using custom headers, and has been resolved by encoding the Subject before appending it to the Thread-topic header while adding custom headers.

MimeTypeHandler added for cloud downloads on mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When using the Pega cloud storage repository (Application -> Integration -> Content Storage) with the Google Chrome browser on an android device, it was possible to upload attachments but re-downloading the attachments failed. Investigation showed that this was due to the content-type appearing as application/* so Google Chrome on mobile was not able to identify the file type. This was a missed use-case for returnFileForDownload(), and has been resolved by setting the system to use MimeTypeHandler for getting the content type.

Support added for allow list for LaxRedirectStrategy
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When using Connect REST with POST to access a third-party service deployed on multiple nodes, the load balancer sometimes replied 302 with Location header. The ability to allow the REST connector to automatically follow these redirects even in the case of POST messages is supported by Apache http client via LaxRedirectStrategy, but REST Connectors need both rule and engine enhancements to allow for this. To support this use, an allow list has been implemted for hostnames. This will allow the connector to be configured to follow the LaxRedirectStrategy only when the hostname of the redirect location is in the allow list. The default will continue to block the redirect.

Updated visibility condition expression handling for decimal values
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, any visibility condition expression failed to evaluate decimal values that used precision. When 0 (zero) was entered as a value in the input field, a button that was configured to show was visible as expected. When the value was entered as 0.0, the input failed and the button did not show. The problem did not happen "Run visibility condition on client" was enabled. Investigation showed this was an issue with how the When expression was evaluated and calculated within JspWhenEvaluate, and has been resolved.

Adjusted validation of literal value of a parameter
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When mapping a parameterized when rule to the proposition filter, parameters passed from the proposition filter page were not getting flown to the when rule. This was caused by special character validation for a literal value of a parameter which necessitated putting the parameter value within quotes and which resulted in a parameter value mismatch at run time. To support this use, this validation has been disabled as parameter values would not get included within quotes. This change does not have any impact on when rule or proposition filter rules java generation.

XML Parse handles dates with time zone correctly
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Due to a difference in data mapping behavior for Date values, the Parse XML new assembler implementation was incorrectly applying the DateTime type of processing for Date inputs when using timezones and silently ignored the exceptions reported. This has been resolved.

Guardrails Compliance Score correctly excludes test case rulesets
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When calculating the compliance score of the Application with the "Ignore test rulesets when calculating Guardrails score" option selected, the test case ruleset was still included in the Guardrail score calculation. This was traced to updates made to the pzGetTestRuleSetsList activity used to get the test rulesets for any application, and was due to the returned data not being correctly updated from a named page back to the primary page. This has been corrected.
