Improved handling for attachments not using UTF-8 encoding
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
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.

Topic name prefix support added for Kafka
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
An enhancement has been added to support the use of site-specific standards for the naming of queues. This can be used to add clarification between Kafka Topics created by Pega and those created for internal topics when using a shared Kafka Cluster. This is done using the new setting: <env name=”services/stream/name/pattern” value=”prefix{stream.name}postfix”/> . As an example, if tenant.name is resolved into "myco" and the environment into "prod1", value="{tenant.name}-{environment}-{stream.name}" will result in stream myco-prod1-{stream.name} By default, when stream.provider = EXTERNAL, the default will be “pega-{stream.name}” .

Broken Pipe exception in the logs
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
Frequent "connection reset by peers" exceptions were being generated and broken-pipe exceptions were seen in the logs. Investigation traced the issue to unhanded IOExceptions on the server side that were a result of the client application not always closing the TCP connection gracefully. To resolve this, error handling for IOExceptions has been improved.

Export to Excel cell style control added
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5
If a column was formatted with an auto generated numeric control, a new cell style was generated for every row during the export to Excel process. Since there is a limit on the amount of cell styles, once the number of rows in the file was greater than 64000 an error was generated. To resolve this, the system will disable the creation of a new cell style for every instance when an auto-generated numeric control is used.
