SAML SSO redirects to correct URL when application and authentication aliases match
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Whenever there was a match in the authentication service alias and the application alias, the application alias was replaced with empty after logoff instead of making the authentication service alias empty. For example, given an authentication service with the alias XYZ ("login with XYZ" alias option) and an application name XYZMyOps, the application alias was being changed from XYZMyOps to appMyOps after logoff. As a result, a blue screen error resulted when clicking on button "login with XYZ" again because it redirected to appMyOps, which didn't exist. This has been resolved by removing authservicealias and modifying AuthServiceAliasHelper.adjustPathIfAuthServiceAliasPresent() to change the method for calculating the pathinfo to string tokenizing

Helper text set for radio buttons in DX API
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
The api/v1/assignments/{ID}/actions/{actionID} Service Rest was not rendering the tooltip into DXAPI converted JSON for Radio Button Helper Text. This was traced to a missing Tooltip check in the API Rule-Utility-Function for radio buttons, and has been resolved.

Mobile app language remains consistent after data sync
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When using a Field Service Mobile App where the locale of all workers was set to nl_NL, the UI was intermittently flipping from NL to EN and and back again. This was traced to the locale of the requestor (field worker) being lost during synchronization of the mobile app data to the server, causing the UI to fall back to the default value of EN. This has been resolved by ensuring the requestor always uses the chosen locale for the operator.

Loading timing updated for openAPI content
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Open API content loading was taking too much time and interfering with working on other REST rule configurations. To resolve this, the loading of openAPI contents has been removed from the opening or saving of REST rule and shifted to lazy loading. Clicking on the openAPI tab will load the contents, and any modification in REST rule or service package rule will update the contents of openAPI when "Action->Refresh" is clicked.

Deprecated authentication methods removed
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
After upgrade, attempting to trigger the Pega hosted API externally through Post Man resulted in the exception "The method getAuthenticationService() is undefined for the type OAuth2AccessTokenValidation". This was traced to the use of references to the methods getAuthenticationService() and getAuthenticationServiceType(), which are not in use from v8.5 onwards in pzOAuth2AuthenticationActivity and have now been removed. For OAuth2 authentication, the service package should use authentication type as OAuth2; the system will then take care of validating the token and establishing the operator context.

Some general metrics now disabled by default for better performance
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
While testing decisioning on fnx cloud platform, using a client application to simulate load and using the Stream service with Kafka Instaclustr as a backend, large latency spikes over 1,000 ms were observed at around 33 second intervals from Stream writes. Investigation identified that some metrics that are gathered every 30 sec (on every single node) include a "lag" calculation that requires a heavy process operation during which more threads are spun off, causing CPU spikes. To mitigate this, the general metrics are now disabled by default and can be enabled using DSS.
