Corrected mobile password control behavior on failed validation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Given a section on mobile where the out-of-the-box password control was used on a textbox with input field of type Password to set a new password, failed validation on the field caused the cursor on the input field to jump to the left. It was then not possible to delete the text or correct the placement of the cursor. This was traced to a missing type check for password in isTextBox(), and has been corrected.

Pulse @mention will avoid triggering search request if no suggestion list is available
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Search threads were causing requestor Lock Exceptions due to poorly optimized queries sent to ElasticSearch when a Pulse mention was attempting to look up a person (e.g. "@"+typing) and the search of case objects to match to that search were performing poorly. To resolve this, an update has been made to avoid triggering requests if the suggestions list is not available for the search query.

Local user lookup modifed to use requestor level data page to improve performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
In a system with many users (over 40k), attempting to search for a user to send a private message was taking an excessive amount of time. Analysis found that all of the users were being loaded at once in a page list of type Code-Pega-List. This led to errors indicating the Page List property had more elements than the specified threshold, but pagination could not be added as the activity and Report Definition are final. To improve performance, this process has been modified to use a data page at the requestor level instead.

Added more error handling in pzCreateThumbnail

Page cleanup processes updated to facilitate Pulse Task creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Attempting to create a Pulse Task in an assignment resulted in a "The Operation completed successfully, but returned no content" screen after clicking submit. This was traced to an incorrect usage of createworkpage. To resolve this, the system has been updated so that before calling createworkpage, a page-remove will be done so createworkpage will not clean the assignment page.

Synchronization continuation updated so mobile attachments properly preview
Resolved in Pega Version 8.2.5
Clicking on attachments in mobile would open them if the attachment had just happened, but otherwise would not open them at all. This was traced to an issue with Synchronization continuation: the page was properly loaded from database but its content was not used to fill the named OfflinePackage page (which contains only the search keys). This has been corrected by replacing the empty page with the one loaded from the database.

UpgradeOnOpen updated to use property set
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
After upgrade, using the revalidate & save wizard on MapValue rules (Rule-Obj-MapValue) generated null pointer exceptions in the tracer file and rules failed with bad status. This was traced to changes made in the Java step of UpgradeOnOpen that used the getReference() method, and has been resolved by updating the UpgradeOnOpen activity in the Rule-obj-Mapvalue class to use property set.

Fallover stategy added to chat routing to keep event processor running
Resolved in Pega Version 8.3.2
Chats were becoming stuck in the queue and end users were not able to connect with the customer service representative. An excessive number of queued items were observed in a Queue Processor named "EventProcessor". This was traced to the setting "Browse from the offset" having been removed because of a retention policy. This resulted in "Browse from the end of the stream" being used instead even though browse should start from the earliest known offset. To resolve this, Stream Producer will be cached based on topic, and Stream consumer will fall over to an earliest strategy in case the requested offset isn't found so the event queue will be handled in a timely manner.
