Corrected malformed URL
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.6
The function used in the session timer to log off the user was not working consistently, and attempting to discard a checked-out delegated Rule did discard the rule. Both issues reported the error "HTTP Status 400 - Bad request". This was traced to a badly formed URL, and has been resolved by wrapping the URL with SafeURL_createFromURL.

Simplified default reference time calculations
Resolved in Pega Version 8.7.1
After a job scheduler was configured to run at Start time = 21:00:00 for Time zone = Europe/London, the scheduler determined 20:00:00 as the next start time. This was due to the calculation for the next start time using the time zone offset calculation pattern for the date and time stored in System-Runtime-Context.pxCreateDateTime, which had difficulty with changes to the time zone definition implemented in the time between the given date and today (meaning the current time) such as daylight savings time. To resolve this, the default reference time from System Runtime Context will be 'now' instead of Date(0).
