Resolved Issues

This release contains the following resolved issues:

---

When attempting to restore the chat session in Chat Server (when deployed in High Availability mode with Cassandra), the final transcript in UCS is no longer being overwritten by the previous, incomplete, intermediate transcript. Previously, the transcript could be overwritten when the configuration option leave-transcript was set with the value true. (CHAT-3524)

---

To save an intermediate transcript in the case of an unrecoverable Cassandra failure, Chat Server (when deployed in High Availability mode with the Cassandra) now updates UCS with the final transcript content and marks the interaction as offline. Previously, Chat Server would fail to do this when the configuration option transcript-save-on-error was set with the value close. (CHAT-3495)
