Improved handling for attachments not using UTF-8 encoding
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
When an email was received that used a charset encoding other than UTF-8, special characters in the HTML body were not displayed and instead the replacement character was shown. To resolve this, the system will read the encoding from the email rather than use the meta tag, and will add the attachment's HTML encoding information in Data-WorkAttach-File so that the same can be used to process and display the original HTML properly.

Optional feature to improve pxETReport performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Poor performance was seen when using pxETReport. This was caused by the system loading the recent cases widget by looking up all the ET cases within last 30 days, opening each ET case to check if it is from the same pyFrom email address, and then if yes, opening its related service case. On a complex system, this was potentially a slow process. To improve performance, the "Related cases" feature can now be disabled through an overridable 'when' rule.

Rulesets removed from direct invocation ability
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
The following rules have been updated such that they are no longer available to be invoked directly by a client or service: Clipboard_ExecuteActivity, getClassInstances, getOperatorIDs, and GetXMLRuleData. In addition, pzAutoGenClipboard_ExecuteActivity will now require authentication.

Access Deny working as expected for Offers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
It was possible to Save-As an offer in PegaMKT-Work-Offer after encountering an access deny rule. The record was not created in Dev Studio, however, and an expected denial of access was not registered at runtime. This was due to Access deny rules not being considered as a part of validation, and has been resolved by adding the necessary permission validation to the new harness that will produce the error message informing the user that they are missing a permission. Additional work has also been done to pass the 'pzKeepPageMessages' parameter as true so that page level error messages are correctly displayed.

Testcases are not available for 'access when' rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Attempting to create test cases for access when rules resulted in guardrail warnings about the need to create a test case. Because Test Cases are not available for the Access When rule type as per Pega expected behavior, the guardrail warnings are not valid and have been removed.

Related cases of different types properly linked in Case Worker Portal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After creating a case of type1 in the Case Worker portal, creating a case of type2 from the first case showed the case ID of the second case in the Related Work section as expected. However, after clicking on the link of the case ID of the second case from the related work section, the second case opened but the case ID of the first case was not shown in the Related work. The cases were correctly associated when the Case Manager portal was used instead. This was traced to the Case Worker clipboard continuing to hold the previous case ID thread, and has been resolved.

Added deferred loading for email cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
When there were a significant number of email interactions on an email case, delays were seen when loading the case in the UI. Investigation traced this to a high number of database calls along with the BLOBs also being open. To improve performance, the new rule pyDeferLoadEmails has been added which toggles the UI and loads emails faster. In addition, the button label has been modified to read "View all emails" in place of "Show all" while defer load is enabled.

GetAllEmailWork temp page renamed to avoid conflict
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
The default Email manager portal was not displaying new email triage cases. Investigation showed that because the GetAllEmailWork and CaseBreadCrumbPopulate activities were using a common name for the clipboard page "TempPage", when CaseBreadCrumbPopulate removed the TempPage clipboard page as one of its steps a null pointer exception occurred for GetAllEmailWork. To resolve this, an update has been made to rename "TempPage" to "TempPageET" for GetAllEmailWork so the names will not conflict.

Handling updated for social messaging items with very large embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.8
Job scheduler was running out of memory while handling large/multiple files, causing nodes to crash while handling Social Messaging items. Inline images were also not being sent in the ACK email. Investigation traced this to a custom job scheduler and activity used to create PDFs from email communication and send the PDFs to a third-party system. This used the standard Email Triage/PegaSocial functionality for the emails, which were stored as instances of PegaSocial-Message. The custom Job scheduler and activity then leveraged the Data Page D_pxEmailPosts to retrieve the emails in order to harvest the text from the emails. The issue occurred when a number of the emails had multiple or large embedded images in them, meaning the PegaSocial-Message instances are very large. This resulted in the node running out of memory and crashing. To resolve this, code has been added to support inline images in ACK email and the complete message from Pulse will be used instead of the original message as the email body for the ACK email.
