Date field correctly extracted for IMAP inbound email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, email-sourced cases were not being created correctly. Tracer showed the date field was blank, causing an error which was traced to the getReceivedDate being returned as null for the JavaMail AP even though the IMAP protocol was being used. This was an unintended side effect of work done to handle a throttling exception in the IMAP inbound email flow, and has been resolved by updating the system so that if the getReceivedDate is null, the date will be extracted from the mail header while processing dates in EmailMessageInfo class.

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.

EnableRedirects property added for REST connections
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When implementing a connector with the header �Location� which contains a redirect URI, a 303 response code was expected. Instead, a 400 or 404 error was generated. It was not possible for developers to process the code per their logic in Activity as Connect REST processed 303 responses automatically - i.e. there was no intercept points to implement the suggested approach. To resolve this, the new property "Rule-Connect-REST.pyEnableRedirects" has been added along with a checkbox for the property in "Rule-Connect-REST.pyService" in "Connection" section. Logic has been added in RESTConnector.java to take value of this property and set it on the HTTPClient being used, and a method has been added to HTTPClient interface and ComponentsHTTPClient to use the new value being passed. The default behavior is the same for the REST Connector, but a client can uncheck a checkbox on the REST Connector ruleform to stop the HTTP client from automatically following any compatible 3xx responses.

Added Database query optimization and cache invalidation logging
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Web nodes were going down during deployment due to failed health checks. This was traced to queries firing even when there was no rule change, and was due to unnecessary cache invalidations. An update has been made which will optimize and analyze declarative database queries and capture diagnostic details on any invalidation of the declarative reference information cache.

Performance improvements for Attachment Migration Utility
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
The Attachment Migration Utility was showing a zero count for attachments in the Pega Database. This was traced to the underlying report definition that retrieves data for the Attachment Migration Utility timing out, and has been resolved by updating the activities to improve performance for applications having a large number of attachments without customization.

Logging for MultiNodeSynchronize lock attempts changed from error to warn
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
The File Listener was logging numerous errors stating "Unable to establish MultiNodeSynchronize lock while trying to determine if listener is enabled for this node". Handling has been previously established for error cases when the Listener is unable to establish a MultiNodeSynchronize lock, but this condition continued to be logged as an error even though it was not related to any failures in functionality. To resolve the logging issue, the logger level has been changed from ERROR to WARN.

MimeTypeHandler added for cloud downloads on mobile
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
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.
