SignatureMethod Algorithm attribute in Authentication Activity now obtained from certificate
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When creating an authentication request in pySAMLWebSSOAuthenticationActivity (step 6), the system was generating the wrong SignatureMethod Algorithm if the site was using certificates with RSA - SHA256 encryption. This was due to the signature algorithms being hardcoded in SAML code, and has been resolved by getting the signature algorithm from the certificate.

Logout binding switched to signed certificate for signature
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
HTTP Redirect logout binding uses a hard coded "rsa-sha1" from a open SAML library file to calculate the signature; this created an issue with ADFS. To override this, the system will use the subclass buildRedirectURL() to get the signature algorithm from signed certificate instead of the hard coded signature algorithm (Sha1).

Added iFrame garbage collection to improve memory use for multiple child cases
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
Client Side memory was piling up due to multiple child cases being attached to the same parent case without a garbage collection process passing over the iframes. Performance has been improved by adding garbage collection to files pega_ui_busyindicator and pzpega_mobile_hybrid, pzpega_ui_doc_lifecycle.

Improved performance and error handling for assembled 'when' rules
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
This release features a major re-working of the assembled 'when' rules to improve performance. The vast majority of rule dispatch costs come from unnecessary work. By optimizing VTable dispatch, eliminating unnecessary validation, increasing intrinsic usage, and optimizing dispatch routines, rule dispatch has been made 5-100x faster for IL-Assembled rules. In addition there is improved error handling for exceptions.

Recipient flexibility added to scheduled Guardrail reports
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
Scheduled guardrail reports were delivered only intermittently. This was traced to the report having an email address (as opposed to an operator ID) in the recipient list, and the page references have been updated to correct this.

The control also has a script that removes any text other than non- numeric, comma, decimal, or negative sign values and supports both comma and dot as decimal separators.

Fixed product file list view filter error
Resolved in Pega Version 8.1
When creating a product file, the error "An Exception occurred while processing contents of Rule-Admin-Product" appeared when using a list view filter in Product rule. This was caused by the instances not having the ruleset name present when it was expected, and code has been added to make sure those are included when needed.
