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.

CreateVersion rule updated for REST Integration Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using a JSON response in the Create REST Integration wizard to generate the rules, the wizard displayed a null pointer exception during the final generation. The error pop up message "Generation process has been canceled and all created records have been removed" was displayed on the screen. This was traced to the REST Integration Wizard putting data rules in the wrong ruleset version when the context of both the Integration Layer and the Data Layer were configured to use an existing ruleset and to create a new version of that ruleset, and has been resolved by modifying the pzCreateVersion rule to support this.

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 pause after Library Extraction to ensure Rule-Utility-Functions are present
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
After upgrade from Pega 7 to Pega 8, nodes were not starting and the error "pub.context.InitializationFailedError: PRNodeImpl init failed" appeared. This was traced to an issue with the pzSharedTenant rule: when pzSharedTenant (Rule Access When) is assembled by the system, it uses the compareTwoValues Rule-Utility-Function. If the system is not able to find the correct version of compareTwoValues, it adds an UnresolvedAssemblyError in the assembly of the pzSharedTenant, causing the startup failure. This has been resolved by adding an await call after the LibraryExtraction task to wait for it to complete. This wait will ensure that the library extraction task completes before starting the search task which uses Rule-Utility-Functions

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.

Support added for multiple host proxy architecture
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using an architecture where certain types of users were sent through multiple proxy servers to get the Pega Cloud instance, an exception was generated at the point of accessing the environment. This was traced to the use of Apache 2.4 with mod_proxy. As the request passed through each proxy, the x-forwarded-host header had values appended to it by mod_proxy which resulted in the error "com.pega.pegarules.pub.context.PRSecurityException: Multiple host names in header X-forwarded-Host". This has been resolved by updating the code to support using a multiple host proxy configuration.

Correct time zone chosen for fr_Fr appointment functionq
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
When using the "fr_Fr" location and and "Europe/Paris" time zone for appointments, a null pointer exception was seen related to the function getStartOrEndDateTime. Investigation showed that the incorrect time zone was being picked from the fr_FR.xml file when parsing the date. To resolve this, 4 letter time zone codes have been moved above the 3 letter time zone codes.

Added handling for Create Source and Target properties of Date
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A report definition was not displaying results after update, and a stack overflow was reported. This was a missed use case for Create Source and Target properties of Date, and has been resolved by adding a boolean flag to avoid autochain during validations when data type is Date.

Resolved classcast exception with assembled HTML controls
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7
A classcast exception was being generated on login. Investigation showed the Static Assembler was unexpectedly using a different Assembler to assemble the Html control rule. Standard behavior is that StreamBuilderAssembler assembles controls of type StreamBuilder and ControlAssemblerForVTable assembles controls of type ControlBuilder. In this case, static assembly for HTML controls using VTable was performed using StreamBuilderAssembler, causing a classcast exception when using VTable because the instance of the generated.html class was incorrectly inheriting from StreamBuilder (the parent class of ControlBuilder) instead of ControlBuilder which is the specified interface in the generated.html Java code. This has been resolved by updating the system to skip rules of type 'Rule-HTML-Property'(control) during Static Assembly.
