Enhancements added for very heavy use of strategy decision logic
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Recent updates were made to improve memory performance for scenarios where a single request primary page had tens of thousands of pages under an embedded pagelist property and the decision logic involved a strategy running on all the pages in that page list. To further improve performance, the array iterator has been modified and a DSS has been added that makes the threshold (50) in SSAExecutionContextIteratorFactory tunable.

Logic optimization disabled in offers
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Offers that should not be eligible to customers were passing through even though the offer was narrowed down to using “OR” conditions in the Engagement policies. This was traced to the logic optimization ignoring precedence, and has been resolved by disabling the optimization.

Support added for email addresses with hyphen in domain name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
When attempting to enter a email with a hyphen '-' in the domain part of an email ID ([email protected]), the reply button was getting disabled. This was caused by the regex validation implemented in the "pzValidateEmailAddress" (Work-Channel-Triage-Email) standard activity not covering all the possible cases. To resolve this, regex has been changed to instead use a platform-provided rule to ValidateEmailAddress.

New email template added to include full message history
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Whenever a reply was sent from the email triage case, the outbound email sent only the actual reply along with the original email and latest reply only, skipping all remaining replies from email. For example, if there were 5 replies from case, replying 5th time generated an outbound email that contained only 5th reply (actual / current), original reply (which created the service case) and the latest reply (reply 4 in this case) and skipped reply 1 and reply 2. To resolve this, a new Outlook-style template has been added for use in replies that will include all of the previous exchanges.

Updated handling for unexpected character set in non-UTF-8 email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
After upgrade, the listener properly created a case from an email, but the space character was being replaced by ? in the inbound emails. Investigation showed the messages did not appear properly in the UI if the email was sent using any encoding other than Unicode (UTF-8) and it had a special character set. To resolve this, the system will remove the attachment type which includes the charset.

Email Triage properly maps attachments to case
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Attachments from emails coming in via the Email channel were not being attached as expected to both the Email Triage case and the case generated from that. Instead, attachments were only being added to the triage case. This was traced to the pyAttachments property not being properly updated for attachment to the generated case, and has been resolved.

Double quotes escaped in entity mapping
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
A usecase where the BOTS created the triage cases from the emails and pushed it to the Workgroup had an intermittent problem where the screen would freeze and no actions could be performed. perform any action on the same. Investigation showed this occurred when the entity text contained double quotes which is caused JSON to break on the client side. This generated an exception during rendering, and other onload scripts failed on load and blocked the entire thread. To resolve this, the system will now avoid the JSON break by escaping double quotes in entity mapping.

Added VBD support for CSRF token setting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Attempting to open any VBD reports in the marketing portal for a simulation test caused the user to be logged out.

To resolve this, handling for the CSRF tokens has been added to the necessary Ajax calls.
