DB2 DateTime conversion fixed
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After inserting date values in DB2, using the select command and retrieving the above date values using RDB-List returned the date as one day earlier. The root cause of this issue was the logic used for reading and writing date columns in DB2. The logic was implemented in order to ensure that the values in the column were both saved and retrieved in GMT time zone. However, when a java.sql.Date object was retrieved from the JDBC metadata, it was returned as the date value at the time of Midnight, and the time zone was set to the local time zone by the metadata (instead of the expected GMT time zone). When preparing to return this value, the Date object was formatted with reference to GMT, which causes the Date object to have an hour subtracted and report a date value that was one day less than expected. To fix this, the datetime logic for the Date columns has been modified to use a DateFormat object in the system's local time zone.

Encoded handling for Chinese characters in SOAP
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Signature verification failed when a SOAP message contained multibyte Chinese characters. This was due to the engine passing platform specific request bytes instead of sending UTF bytes to the third party metro webservices code when signature is enabled. The JAR encoding has been modified to use the style it gets in the request in order to bypass third party platform decisions.

Row repeat behavior smoothed for HTML5
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
After migrating, row repeat was expanding the width of all the cells each time the section was refreshed even if the width was selected as pixel (fit to content). Selecting "include HTML5 document type" option at the application level prevents the issue, but this issue has been addressed with the "Align Column With Data" Check box available on header cell.

Autocomplete response tuned to resolve latency
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When the autocomplete list was displayed, a delay was seen between the focus highlight and the mouse pointer when using Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer 11. The highlight style is applied using CSS hover selector and the style is applied by the browser, so any delay is dependent on overall performance of the application in the browser, however the system has been optimized for performance and some memory leaks were tightened, and the overall application should display a noticeable improvement in response time.

Added WS-addressing UI check
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
Connect SOAP calls were failing sporadically with a Message Addressing Property error while calling external services even when WS-Addressing was off. This happened when the WS setting was modified: the addressing module is engaged with first call of connector, and there was no cache clearing if the option was turned off for subsequent calls. Code has been added to check the addressing handler status and process it appropriately.

Email Listener timeout tuned for EAR deployments
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
When the email listener encountered an error in installations with EAR deployments, it stopped processing emails until the listener was restarted manually. This was caused by the Timer variable being static in EAR deployments with no logic available to reset it, so it continued to grow over time and could result in sleep times of days. Logic has now been added to reset the timer. The default sleep time has also been set to increase 30 seconds each time an error is encountered to a max of 90 seconds (sleep times are 5 , 30 , 60, 90 seconds) at which point it will reset.

Logic added to resolve conflicting Currency display values
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
The read-only display format of the out-of-the-box Control 'Currency' was not working as expected due to a precedence conflict between the 'Property Qualifier' configured at the property level and the out-of-the-box 'Currency' control configured on the property in a section. For example, the Inquiry amount value in case details section under Overview tab was displayed as 100.00/$ when it should be displayed as 100.00/USD. To resolve this, logic has been added to check the ruleset qualifier settings.

Next button behavior in a modal dialog corrected
Resolved in Pega Version 7.1.8
A workflow issue was found with the 'Next' button on a last row of a repeating grid where clicking on the 'Previous' button would then improperly make available a previously grayed out 'Next' button. Similarly, clicking the 'Next' button on the next-to-last row fired the validation but then disabled the 'Next' button. This was traced to the "NextDisabled" parameter being set incorrectly in case of server side errors, and has been fixed.
