Improved backwards compatibility for imported WSDL and ParseXML rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After update, a Connect-SOAP integration created using the "Connector and Metadata" wizard in Pega 6 was unable to use newly generated WSDL that contained updated elements due to the wizard not updating the Parse XML rules with the updated properties, and two parse XML rules were created in draft mode when the old WSDL was imported and then followed by the new WSDL. If the "Create SOAP Integration wizard" was used instead, the properties and Parse XML rules were generated as expected but a new class was created due to the system removing special characters such as underscore. For example, the imported Connect-SOAP rules used the "XXX-APC_QUOTESERVICE-" class, but the Create SOAP Integration wizard changed this to "XXX-APCQUOTESERVICE-". Upper and lower case differences were also seen between the old and new XML Stream and Parse XML rule names. As a result, it was not possible to either skip or generate new properties into a higher ruleset version in the Connector and Metadata Accelerator. To resolve this, updates have been made which now properly skip the identical properties when generating on top of the existing run. The system now also handles unqualified schemas as it did in previous versions.

Tab will exit portal side menu
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
It is expected that the Tab key will take users out of the portal menu and to the next focusable element, but on the side navigation menu both tab and arrow keys moved to the next menu item. This caused users to have to navigate the entire menu. The correct behavior was seen for the Navigation rule when called from an Action (for example on the button). This was traced to the system using tabindex as "0" for every element in the menu, and the tabs code has been updated to exit out of the menu bar when pressed.

Regex handling updated for Rich Text Editor spellcheck
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using the Rich Text Editor and performing a spell check, the spell checker was adding additional CSS to the property. This was traced to the presence of a unicode newline character causing the existing regex to fail to strip the style tags. To resolve this, regex handling for the unicode newline character in the style tag has been added.

CKEditor Source edit with formatting resumes process automatically
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.5
Buttons on the harness were freezing after applying format using CKEditor when source mode was turned on in rich text editor. Investigation showed that on clicking the source button, after applying styles, the events were being paused and were not resumed automatically. This has been resolved by adding changes to resume the event queue.

Added empty space handling for tab labels
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade from Pega 6 to Pega 8, tab names were not displaying when rules were opened in Designer Studio. This was traced to empty space in the label which caused the Tab name to show as empty, and has been resolved by updating pzpega_ui_dynamiccontainer to use the trim method to check whether the label is empty or not .

Optimized table search updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
Search functionality that can be enabled from tables after selecting the "Optimize" checkbox was not working correctly. This was traced to a potential issue getting the search parameter passed into the activity the section uses, and has been resolved by updating the system to get the element from pega.ctx.dom when pyFlowActionHTML div does not exist.

Removed unneeded query parameter in UI
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using an Ajax container without a dynamic container, a refresh harness / section event call related to pyBlockUnregisteredRequests was not being properly registered, resulting in a 403 error and the message "Unregistered request encountered ..". This was traced to a "pyDataTransform=" query parameter that was present in the PZPEGA_UI_MICRODC file, and the parameter has been removed to resolve this issue.

Java Bean import updated to handling differences in Java 7 and Java 8
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
The behavior of the java bean Introspector class is inconsistent across different versions of the JDK when detecting indexed properties built off of java.util.List objects, causing Java Bean import to generate differently in Java 7 and Java 8. This has been resolved by updating PRIndexedPropertyDescriptor to better handle this JDK difference by resolving indexed read and write methods manually using simple reflection.

Class Loader cache values wrapped with WeakReference for improved cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Out Of Memory exceptions due to Metaspace were observed on Web tier instances running with a max Metaspace size of 2GB. Investigation showed that in PRClassLoaderDB, mLoaderCache values were wrapped with a SoftReference. To resolve this, the Class Loader cache values will be wrapped with a WeakReference, allowing the cache to free memory when it is no longer needed. JVM options has also been added to switch types of References being used if there is a preference.
