Parameter page update added to improve backwards compatibility for ShowTestLibraryTab
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
An error was observed on the first attempt to modify the 'when' rule "ShowTestLibraryTab" located in PegaProjectMgmt:08-01-01. Analysis showed the when rule (Always, Never) which was called from this rule was not found, which was an issue traced to the Rule-Obj-When function alias parameter name being changed from "strWhen" to "blockName" in the 8.1 release. Subsequent attempts to save the modified rule succeeded due to step#7 in the Embed-UserFunction.pzPopulateDropdownFBUIParameters activity upgrading the pyParameters page with the latest data. To resolve this backwards compatibility issue, the activity step#6 has been modified to upgrade the parameter name for the Rule-Obj-When function alias.

Check added for backwards compatibility with Case Type when rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
After upgrade, the When rules present on case type rules (used for skipping stages or showing/hiding stage-wide or case-wide actions) were not executing at run time. This was traced to the introduction of the pySkipOrAllowType property in recent versions, and was only reproducible when the ApplicationRuleset was locked and after upgrade irrespective of whether the condition for when was true or false. To resolve this and enhance backwards capability, a check has been added for the SkipOrAllowType property being empty.

Security improvements for ApplicationInventory and Delete Class
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.7
It was possible to call the activity "ApplicationInventory of class Rule-" by appending the activity name in the URL. To improve security, the ApplicationInventory activity and HTML rule have been removed from the system. In addition, it was possible to access the "delete class" screen and perform actions on top of it by directly appending the stream to the URL. This has been refactored so the screen will be presented only if the pzSystemOperationsAdministrator privilege is in the current access group.
