Cleanup added for staging directory
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
Temporary files from imports and exports (from DevOps) were filling up the staging area disk space because there was no automatic process for cleaning up these local files. This has been resolved by adding an enhancement that will clear the directory on Engine Startup and any time ParUtils.setStagingDirectory gets called to initialize the staging directory.

SameSite cookie setting added for Mashup support in Google Chrome v80+
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1.8
The Google Chrome browser version 80 and above now treats SameSite with a blank value as "Lax" by default, causing mashup scenarios to break. In order to compensate for this change, support has been added for setting SameSite=None in Cookie Settings; this value automatically includes the “secure” cookie flag, which enforces HTTPS for the Pega server and mashup. For mashups to work, SameSite should be set as None. Create a Dynamic system setting in the Pega-Engine RuleSet with the name “security/csrf/samesitecookieattributevalue” and the value "None" and restart the server. (The SameSite value "None" works only in secure HTTPS connections.) Note: The SameSite cookie may be set to None/Lax/Strict, based on the requirement. For cookie requirements other than mashup, it should be set as either Strict or Lax, depending upon your application.

Transient property passivation handling improved
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
Frequent "com.pega.pegarules.pub.PRRuntimeException" errors were seen in the production log file while working on the WO. This was traced to corruption in the blob caused by transient properties during passivation. To resolve this, corrections have been made to the handling for the transient property entries in the blob.

Enhancements added for using AWS file repositories
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
Enhancements have been added to improve the use of AWS file storage: - Logging for AWS SDK connection metrics can be activated on a per-repository basis, either through the ruleform or through the DSS `storage/class/:/enableMetrics`. - INFO logging can be enabled on PegaAWSSDKMetricReporter to periodically output averages of recorded metrics for all registered S3 repositories with metric collection enabled, or INFO logging can be enabled on PegaAWSRequestMetricCollector to output recorded metrics on every client call for all registered S3 repositories with metric collection enabled. - The interval at which PegaAWSSDKMetricReporter logs metrics at can be configured with the DASS `storage/AWSSDK/metricReportingInterval`. This DASS is a system-wide setting, and not a per-repository setting. The default reporting interval is 90 seconds, and metric collection is disabled on all repositories by default.

Added support for Helper Text Question Mark with visibility condition
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
The Helper Text Question Mark was not displaying if the control was configured with "Help icon with overlay on hover" combined with a visibility condition. This was a missed use case, and the expression visibility support for controls.changes have now been added in the pzpega_ui_DLCellTemplate.js file.

Sorting on Grid works with declare expression property
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
If a property with a declare expression was used in a column, the sorting on that column was not working. This was traced to reference errors when Grid used the engine API pega.sortPageList to sort the page list / data page, and has been corrected.

Added visibility to dropdown for change stage
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
While creating a flow in work- class that used a change stage, on selecting 'other' the dropdown to show other stages was not visible. This was due to a missing visibility condition, and has been resolved by updating "pzPopulateStages" Step7 to set the pyGotoStageOther to "OTHER" when none of the stages are present.

DSS added to rpevent logging of sensitive data used as input during async batch task processing
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
When running Async Batch Task Processing, the whole set of inputs was logged when an error occurred during ADP load. Because this might result in sensitive data such as SSN, DOB, IDs, etc, being included in the debugging output, a DSS has now been added which when set will avoid printing any sensitive information in the log.
