Atmosphere updated to resolve request object recycle exception
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
The exception "java.lang.IllegalStateException: The request object has been recycled and is no longer associated with this facade" was traced to a request object being recycled in Tomcat because of pooling. To resolve this, a fix was made in the Atmosphere open source library to ignore such exceptions. A new jar with version 2.4.5.8 has been uploaded to the repository and defaultVersionsByGradle has been updated with this version.

Removing PageList removes all cached pages
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
A previous change was made such that when removing a pageList property, its size is removed from the size-specific cache as well. A further enhancement has been made so that when a PageList is removed, the system will clear the pageCache of all cached pages in the PageList.

SelectedBranchIdentifier handling updated for REST Wizard
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
After creating a branch and running the Integration REST connector Wizard to add any REST end point, attempting to add an existing ruleset in the Integration layer worked as expected, but attempting to add the ruleset in the Data layer failed with the error "No Rulesets Available". Investigation traced this to a situation where pzDataPageDataSource was created after the declare expression that assigns the value of pySelectedBranchIdentifier, so its creation was not accounted for and led to pySelectedBranchIdentifier not being populated with the branch name. Without this, the existing rulesets could not be loaded. To resolve this, updates have been made to the handling of the pySelectedBranchIdentifier declare expression to ensure it is available for the REST Wizard to properly load the existing rulesets.

Input header value honored for the Content-Type
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
Some third-party applications were rejecting header properties (name & Content-Type) because the information was "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="PostData" and "Content-Type: application/json"" instead of the expected "Content-Disposition: form-data; name="json"" and "Content-Type: text/json". To resolve this, updates have been made to honor the input header value for the Content-Type from the rule form. If no value is supplied, the default "application/json" will be used.

EmailListener restart correctly reflects Inbox folder change
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
The Email Listener did not pick up a change in the INBOX folder name when the listener was restarted, but did when the server itself was restarted. This was due to the folder name being cached but not being included in the cache key: a cache change only occurs when the key of the cache changes. This meant that even after changing the folder name, the object was treated as 'not changed' and returned the older connection with older folderName. This has been resolved by adding the foldername to the cache key.

Repository APIs optimized to process large number of files
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
When trying to delete 400K+ files in the attachments folder in a Pega Cloud Storage repository, the D_pxDelete API appeared to hang, though files were eventually deleted after an extended amount of time. The same API worked well when the folder had around 200 files in it. Previously, the D_pxDelete and D_pxListFiles APIs implementation did not consider the large scale inputs or outputs. This has been resolved by optimizing the performance of the recursiveDelete operation for S3 repositories.

Added handling for accessibility in SocialFilePath
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
After configuring pxFileUploadGadget with the controls 'pzFileNameText' and 'pzSocialFilePath', moving the focus from the first control to the second required two presses of the tab key. This was traced to pzSocialFilePath having an input with type file, which is used in the background but not shown in the UI. To resolve this, tabindex = -1 has been added for the input to facilitate the accessibility.

Enhancement added for node heartbeat recovery process
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.1
Nodes were not showing up in the admin portal even though they were up and running and could be seen in the pr_sys_statusnodes table. The exception "An exception was encountered while invoking the cluster membership listener callback" was seen. All nodes became visible again after multiple restarts. The root cause was traced back to a temporary database connectivity problem. The database itself was fine according to database monitoring reports, but a network problem, a slow database query, or another issue prevented Pega from establishing a connection for more than a minute. An enhancement has been made to resolve this: if a node becomes unhealthy due to the service registry missing due to a failed heartbeat, the heartbeat will try to recover after 60 seconds and keep trying every 30 seconds until it succeeds.
