Hazelcast will be used to determine node presence
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
When calling logoff from the end user portal, sporadic PresenceStandardLifeCycleListener exceptions were seen during high load periods. This was traced to changes made in the Service Discovery behavior: when there is an issue with the node and heartbeats are missed, the node goes to Safe Mode. This caused the topology to change and trigger clearing off presence sessions, but the node still received service requests and this issue was seen. To resolve this, an updated has been made so the system will rely on the Hazelcast listener instead of service discovery to determine whether a node has left.

Handling added to ensure proper Data-Admin-DB-Table name records
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
As part of property optimization, after exposing the property "SolutionName" using the wizard, the value was not visible in a new column for existing records after the completion of the column population job. This was traced to an issue with DBSchemaDDLExecutor expecting lowercase Data-Admin-DB-Table names, and the wizard has been updated to ensure Data-Admin-DB-Table name records are all lowercase.

Timezone retrieval performance enhancement
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
In order to improve performance and reduce a potential bottleneck for concurrent threads, PRDateTimeUtilsImpl has been updated to use a common GMT time zone object rather than getting the time zone for each operation for each function call.

Updated LegacyPageAdapter with forward links
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
After upgrade, attempting to submit an assignment from an existing case type did not work, and the message "There was an error processing the 'ValidateTechnicalData' step [(no task)]: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.pega.platform.clipboard.adapters.internal.LegacyPageAdapter cannot be cast to com.pega.pegarules.data.internal.clipboard.ClipboardPageImpl" appeared on screen. Investigation showed that a reference forward link was unexpectedly referring to a LegacyPageAdapter. This has been resolved by implementing get/setNamedPageReferenceForwardLinks in LegacyPageAdapter so LegacyPageAdapter can be cast to a ClipboardPageAPI.

HTML Tags stripped from text email body
Resolved in Pega Version 8.6
The Service Email message data section was showing HTML tags in the email message body for both 'prefer-HTML' and 'prefer-inline' where the body was missing. Investigation showed there was no default feature for segregating the markup tags and providing the plain text when ‘HTML’ format was selected in Outlook. This has been resolved by adding a Prefer: outlook.body-content-type="text" header to get the message without HTML tags.
