PDF barcode generation from eForm given configurable parameter checkbox
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
When generating a PDF file based on an eForm that contains barcodes displayed via base64 encoded images, making the file read-only by using ConcatenateEForm's PerformFieldFlattening option prevented the barcodes from displaying. This was due to an "append" flag being passed to the 3rd party iText Library API "PdfStamper", and has been resolved with the addition of a flag (EnableNewVersion) in the "GenerateEForm" activity. The parameter will be by default true and may be unchecked for false, and is accompanied by a tool tip on hover of the checkbox as well as iText help.

Resolved file upload error for locales with special language characters
Resolved in Pega Version 7.3
Uploads to Pulse were failing when the file names or file paths contained special Turkish characters. This was an issue with the conversion to lower case changing the length of the string for some locale packages and has been resolved by swapping the call to string.toLowerCase for a call to StringUtils.indexOfIgnoreCase.

ArtifactoryStorage URL construction with port updated
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
After configuring a repository as a JFROG artifactory with a ruleform that provided a URL / port number and repository name, test connectivity worked as expected, but deploying the codeset using pipeline or importing the codeset using the import functionality generated the error "Unable to construct artifactory url due to invalid file path". The root cause of the issue was traced to the ArtifactoryStorage java class, which did not accept the port number in the format provided due to changes in the API. If there was no portNumber in the URL, the issue did not occur. To resolve this, the constructor has been changed to properly build the URI per https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/URI.html.

Class Loader cache values wrapped with WeakReference for improved cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Out Of Memory exceptions due to Metaspace were observed on Web tier instances running with a max Metaspace size of 2GB. Investigation showed that in PRClassLoaderDB, mLoaderCache values were wrapped with a SoftReference. To resolve this, the Class Loader cache values will be wrapped with a WeakReference, allowing the cache to free memory when it is no longer needed. JVM options has also been added to switch types of References being used if there is a preference.

Resolved Agile Workbench video recording timeout
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
Using the Record Video option thru Agile Workbench to create an Agile Studio item was either taking an excessively long time to finish or was hanging. Research showed that this scenario could arise when the input parameter value crossed more than 50 characters and triggered the interaction threshold for an alert, and has been resolved by updating the system so that query parameters with size more than 50 are not encoded and added to alert logs.

Added handling for download of attachment with special characters
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.7
If the name of an uploaded attachment contained a non-ascii character, the upload was successful but the downloaded file had the wrong name without any suffix. This was an issue on WAS or JBoss servers where filenames contained non-ascii characters, and the filename parameter in the content disposition header also contained these characters. To resolve this, the filename parameter in the content disposition header will be encoded as well along with the filename* parameter to handle non-ascii characters in the filename.
