SameSite cookie setting added for Mashup support in Google Chrome v80+
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
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 in the CSRF LP (DevStudio-> System-> Setting-> CrossSiteRequestForgery) which will enforce HTTPS for the Pega server and mashup. Note: The SameSite cookie may be set to None/Lax/Strict, based on the requirement. For mashups to work, SameSite should be set as None. To follow proper security standards, it should be set as Strict.

JobScheduler DST handling updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
When the locale being used changed out of Daylight Savings Time, scheduled jobs did run at the same local time as before but instead ran an hour earlier than expected. Investigation showed that jobscheduler calculated the next runtime based on the time difference from the cluster reference time and current time in milliseconds, and this offset in milliseconds was added to next run time. Since the cluster was started in DST, the job was running on same time due to the time difference. To resolve this, the system will use a calculation offset and set hours/minutes to nextRunTime object so that calendar lib handles daylight savings.

Property Rule Form refreshes after discarding changes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6.2
After updating from Pega 8.2 to Pega 8.6 and migrating the properties, modifying any property rule and then discarding the change did not refresh the Property Rule Form. Investigation showed that the LOG-SYSTEM-PROPERTYOPTIMIZATION instance created during property optimization was not getting deleted when a property was deleted. As this was not getting deleted, the property was shown as optimized when adding the property back, causing confusion. This has been resolved by cleaning up the LOG-SYSTEM-PROPERTYOPTIMIZATION instance when the property is deleted and there is an optimization entry.

Repaired Tracer use with Google Chrome
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
After running Tracer while using Chrome, closing it and trying to run another resulted in an error indicating "Cannot Launch multiple tracer sessions for a requestor". This was identified as a bug with Google Chrome Versions greater than 70 and was caused by Chrome deprecating the use of sync XHR on page dismissal, and has been resolved by modifying the system to use a beacon API instead.

API added to sync presence with requestor to clear inactive operator sessions
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
An intermittent error message was seen indicating the maximum number of active sessions for the current operator had been reached even though there were not multiple logins and there was no requestor displayed in the requestor management landing page. This was traced to sessions that were not properly closed and cleared, and has been resolved by exposing an API that will sync the presence record with the requestor state so inactive sessions will be cleared.
