Rules updated to handle Outlook change that displayed multiple/duplicate email responses
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
In Pega Email Triage case, all the replies were displayed along with the original email body, meaning for each and every reply, Pega showed the original email body and duplicated the data. This was traced to an update made by Microsoft in the Selector function of Outlook Windows, and has been resolved by updating the rules 'PyExtractLatestReplyFromHTML' and 'pyRichTextEmailHistorySelector' to work with this change.

Timeout for node to join cluster increased and made configurable
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
Hazelcast timeouts were causing application restart failures. This was traced to a rare case scenario of heavy processing on the primary node causing the new node to not be able to join the cluster within the designated 5 minute threshold. To compensate for this, the default time to join has been increased to 9 minutes and a prconfig setting has been added to configure the time setting.

Modified thread data page cleanup
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
Some cases were becoming stuck at a particular stage and not proceeding further even though the task in the backend was complete. Investigation traced this to work done that removed declarative pages at the thread level to optimize performance while other clipboard pages were retained, and the issue has been resolved by deleting all thread data pages after every item processed by the agent.
