Text analytics character limit set to avoid memory issues
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.3
Utility nodes were unstable related to searching, and email listener threads became stuck during Rule-based Text Annotation (RUTA) and natural language processing (NLP) work on incoming emails. This happened when the system experienced high memory consumption or exceeded memory usage when using text analytics. This has been resolved by setting the default maximum character limit for NLP analysis to 25,000 characters to avoid RUTA memory issues. If text is provided > 25,000 characters, the system will consider only the top 25,000 characters and a flag will appear on NLPOutcome to indicate text has been limited. This character limit is configurable, but if the configuration is set in excess of 25,000 a warning will be shown prior to saving the change.

Flow connector attachment point control updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Previously, attempting to change the target point for a connector in the flow modeler to a different point on the same shape did not work without placing the point on an intermediate connector first. An enhancement has now been added to support moving the connector directly to a different constraint point on the same shape.

Modified batch requestor handling to ensure cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
A large buildup of batch requestors was seen, and restarting the node did not clear it. Investigation showed that in the case of one class reading a DSS value, a Pega requestor was being created when it was unable to retrieve any Pega context, and this requestor was not cleaned up afterwards. To resolve this, an update has been made to the way the requestor and Pega context is being created along with ensuring it will be cleaned up properly after use.
