Pega 8.4.1 - Patch Release Available!
The first Pega 8.4 Platform patch release is now available - Pega 8.4.1!
Pega 8.4.1 is available on the Digital Software Delivery portal and on PegaCloud.
Issues which were resolved in the Pega 8.4.1 Patch Release can be found here.
Please note that patch releases are cumulative. Pega 8.4.1 includes all fixes made in previous Pega Infinity patch releases. Pega 8.4.1 is the highest quality 8.4.x version available!
Background:
Back in 2018, with the release of Pega 8.1, we announced our shift from hotfixes to Patch Releases. The patch release program approach allows us to bundle, test, & release bug and security fixes over a given period into a cumulative patch that will be available to all customers. This new process provides value to your business through improved overall quality and better dependency management. Look for a new cumulative patch release to be made available every month.

Hi pothb,
Is there any way to subscribe to patch release notifications? It would be great to get some email when the new version arrives.

You absolutely can subscribe! Here are the steps:

Thank you Marissa! That helps a lot. Is there any specialise tag for major version releases as well? I didn't find any one so far. Would be great to get notification on new Platform releases as well.

Hello Marissa- While accessing the my preferences, getting below error. Is this something you are aware and fixing or do I have an alternative approach to try?

I'm so sorry @GUMUDAVELLY I just saw this! Normally this happens if you have another instance of Pega opened in your browser. Were you able to get to My Preferences since you posted above?

Is there a way to group/categorize the issues resolved in each Patch release by product area? The Resolved Issues list for 8.4.1 is 177 items, but they are not tagged/grouped by functional area (only 7 of 177 have a 'Case Management' capability tag).
