Check added for lock expiration when using Save for Default locking
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
With the default case locking policy, during the process from creating a Case Object to Submit it was possible for multiple users to edit and save the same work object if the lock expired for the original user. No warnings appeared. To resolve this, handling has been added for a lock expiration scenario: previously, Save for Default locking was not considered. This has now been updated with a check that will evaluate whether or not the lock is gone before attempting to save.

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.

Support added for UTF-8 charset in Connect-REST pyRequestAttachmentPage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
When using Connect-REST with pyRequestAttachmentPage, Polish characters like "ó" or "ł" were converted to "?". This did not happen when pyRequestAttachmentPage was not used. This was due to the post request body using a multipart handler that ignored the charset being passed in and considered it a respective enum type for Application/json internally instead. This has been resolved by adding support for charset UTF-8.

Resolved duplicate task urgency
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Duplicate task urgency was displayed when using dynamic layout in non-template mode. Investigation showed that there were three 'when' rules used to display the task urgency based on an urgency value, and two of the 'when' rules were being returned as true, one of which was incorrect. This was due to an incorrect PropertyReferenceImpl object being passed when retrieving the value from the failSafe page because of an incomplete reference, and has been fixed.

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.

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.
