Cleanup added for staging directory
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
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.

ABAC DSS setting reflected in all nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.6
When the ABAC (Attribute-based access control) DSS was disabled, the change was not reflected in all the nodes automatically. This was traced to a difference in parameter name: SecurityCacheProvider.pulseChange(), while consuming pulse message on another node, expects to get ".pyPurpose" from the StringMap. Because the system was setting "pyPurpose", aKeys.get(".pyPurpose") returned nothing, and the policy cache iwa not cleared on other nodes. This has been resolved by ensuring naming consistency with "pyPurpose".

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.
