Service responses in HTTP and REST connectors are no longer modified
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.7
The Pega 7.1.8 release correctly leaves form service responses for HTTP and REST connectors unmodified. Upgrade to this release if you experience a problem in Pega 7.1.7 where service responses for HTTP and REST connectors are modified when the declared type in the Content-Type header is application/x-www-form-urlencoded. In this case, the responses were modified to a base 64 representation of the bytes in the string. In Pega 7.1.8, responses of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded are mapped to the property designated on the Connector record.
Support for character data type on local variables in activities deprecated
Valid from Pega Version 8.1
Support for the character data type for local variables in activities is deprecated. Use the string data type instead.

When rule might not resolve against @baseclass
Valid from Pega Version 8.1
In the rare case in which a step page context is null, or the pxObjClass associated with the step page is empty, the system no longer attempts to resolve the when rule against @baseclass. As a result, you might see more rule not found errors. Check the step page context and class and ensure that they are not null or empty. In all other cases, if a when rule is not found in any other part of the class hierarchy, the system attempts to resolve it against @baseclass.
