Email history will be stripped from case replies
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When sending an email reply to a case, the entire email history (all previous emails in the email chain) was attached to the case as part of the reply.To resolve this, updates have been made so the system will strip history only when it's a follow-up mail. In addition, an issue with duplicate attachments has been corrected, and attachments from trailing mail will not be copied to a new post.

Support added for email addresses with hyphen in domain name
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
When attempting to enter a email with a hyphen '-' in the domain part of an email ID ([email protected]), the reply button was getting disabled. This was caused by the regex validation implemented in the "pzValidateEmailAddress" (Work-Channel-Triage-Email) standard activity not covering all the possible cases. To resolve this, regex has been changed to instead use a platform-provided rule to ValidateEmailAddress.

New email template added to include full message history
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Whenever a reply was sent from the email triage case, the outbound email sent only the actual reply along with the original email and latest reply only, skipping all remaining replies from email. For example, if there were 5 replies from case, replying 5th time generated an outbound email that contained only 5th reply (actual / current), original reply (which created the service case) and the latest reply (reply 4 in this case) and skipped reply 1 and reply 2. To resolve this, a new Outlook-style template has been added for use in replies that will include all of the previous exchanges.

Updated handling for unexpected character set in non-UTF-8 email
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
After upgrade, the listener properly created a case from an email, but the space character was being replaced by ? in the inbound emails. Investigation showed the messages did not appear properly in the UI if the email was sent using any encoding other than Unicode (UTF-8) and it had a special character set. To resolve this, the system will remove the attachment type which includes the charset.

Double quotes escaped in entity mapping
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
A usecase where the BOTS created the triage cases from the emails and pushed it to the Workgroup had an intermittent problem where the screen would freeze and no actions could be performed. perform any action on the same. Investigation showed this occurred when the entity text contained double quotes which is caused JSON to break on the client side. This generated an exception during rendering, and other onload scripts failed on load and blocked the entire thread. To resolve this, the system will now avoid the JSON break by escaping double quotes in entity mapping.

Improved performance for Queries on VBD keyspace
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Unrestrained VBD queries were causing poor performance for very large Cassandra clusters. This was traced to queries which were not restrained with a WHERE clause, and has eben resolved by updating two identified Cassandra queries that do not contain WHERE clauses to operate within token ranges rather than across the entire Cassandra cluster.

Thread contention resolved for InteractionHistoryQuery
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
High thread contention was observed while running Inbound load tests. This was traced to pzLoadInteractionHistory invoking a generated strategy to retrieve ihFields from InteractionHistoryQuery using the getUsedInteractionHistoryFields() method: because this method is synchronized, it caused a bottleneck. To resolve this, the synchronized methods have been replaced with the appropriate data structures.

Added VBD support for CSRF token setting
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
Attempting to open any VBD reports in the marketing portal for a simulation test caused the user to be logged out. Investigation showed that this happened when CSRF token check was enabled in System > Settings > Cross-Site Request Forgery, and was caused by the planner not passing the CSRF tokens in its Ajax calls. To resolve this, handling for the CSRF tokens has been added to the necessary Ajax calls.

NLP model update reflected on utility nodes
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.2
After training models on a web node, model updates were not reflected in the email listeners running on the utility nodes. This was traced to the implementation of the model storage using obj-save, which does not propagate the static content on nodes apart from where it was saved. To resolve this, the implementation has been updated to use WBSave which clears static content on all the nodes.
