Improved handling for attachments not using UTF-8 encoding
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
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.

Performance improvements for opening cases with embedded images
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
Opening cases containing email interactions was taking an excessive amount of time. This was traced to the use of embedded images, icons, etc, in the message body and signature, and was caused by the pyGetAttachmentsbyCID activity running multiple times due to discussion threads that were duplicated over and over. In some cases, more than 360 calls to the database were seen. This has been resolved by shifting some case opening processes to executing when the listener thread gets the mail, and storing the results in a .pynote property, and a URL will be used to get images instead of embedding them directly to the HTML. If preferred, this can be reverted to the previous behavior by changing the when rule (pyUseCachedHtmlForDisplay) to false.

Tracer retains modified user settings
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
User settings in tracer were not shown when the settings window was closed and reopened. Investigation showed that settings are filtered based on watchInsKey, but this parameter was passed as "null" for global tracer because of a missing condition to check the session type. This has been resolved by adding a check so the WatchInsKey parameter is passed if the session type is rule watch.

DMaps cleared to set correct JobScheduler next run time
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
When items were added into a QP, the items shown under Scheduled and weren't being processed immediately. Investigation found that the job scheduler which fetched the entries for QP to process wasn't running as expected, and the "Next run" time stamp for JS was incorrectly populated and entries weren't being fetched at all. To correct this, updates have been made to clear entries in DMap belonging to the node during shutdown and from the membership listener so the correct next run time is set.

Job Scheduler will be stopped by node shutdown detection
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.1
LifeCycle Job Scheduler was trying to start already stopped background services during node shutdown, causing exceptions to be logged. This has been resolved by stopping Job Scheduler execution when node shutdown is detected.
