Streamlined truststore.jks creation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
Many folders were being created in the Tomcat temp folder that each contained the file "truststore.jks" used to hold the certificates used in Kafka connection security settings. The implementation has been changed to streamline this: a new KafkaSecurity class was created for a KafkaInstanceImpl which holds 1 truststore file instead of the previous method which created the truststore file in getProducer and getConsumer.

Security/privacy enhancement added to allow overriding URL parameter values being logged
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
The Connect-REST method/engine class throws an exception when it times out; the standard behavior is to disclose the entire URL string including URL parameter values, but in some cases the parameter values may contain sensitive data. To support greater security and privacy, an enhancement has been added to override this behavior when desired by adding an extra check to filter the data being displayed in the PegaRULES log.

Special character handling improved for field value rule description fields
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When special characters such as valor do preÝ âê ($) were used as part of the description field in a field value rule, the description field was empty or not visible after the field value rule was saved. This was an issue with the way the encoding API was applied to special characters, and has been corrected.

Performance improved for screen rendering and checkbox action in Microsoft Internet Explorer
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
After upgrade, Screen rendering and checkbox action was slow in the Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser. To improve performance, the following updates have been made: 1) Conditionally skipping multiple flex resizes on harness resize event. 2) Replaced $ calls in getCorrectPropertyElemFromDOM() with native querySelector. 3) Grid's getScrollParent() (~200ms) was erroneously comparing element’s scrollWidth with scrollWidth (instead of clientWidth) each time. 4) ui_inspector.js was making multiple attempts to get the closest element. The results are now cached. 5) In client expr evaluation, getAllRefreshableTargets() queries for the entry were handled three times. The query is fired only once now and the results are cached.

Resolved in Pega Version 8.1

To resolve this, code has been added to remove the pyServiceClient, soapHdr, and activityParamPage parameters from the ParameterPage after use.

rule-ruleset-version correctly cataloged to hotfix
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
While importing DL for the PCS application, rule-ruleset-version was not getting cataloged to the hotfix manager. This was traced to the failure of the pre-installation initial scan. As recent system changes now support non-versioned rules by looking at the save time, the Rule-RuleSet-Name and Rule-RuleSet-Version will both be treated as valid for scanning and cataloging to avoid this error.
