In old patches, wolves would fight zombies and z's would fight back if they were close enough. But after 1.06 that's not happening anymore. I encountered a pack of wolves so I locked myself inside a barrack and zombies also chased me, the wolves and the infected only wanted to kill me without even fighting among them which is weird and not realistic. I do not know if this is intended but just in case this is a bug here's the report.
It also applies to bears and infected.

I can confirm this, zombies and other AI will no longer fight each other. This is a more serious issue than it might seem, since shooting to attract zombies has long been a legit strategy to escape wolves. I tried this in Livonia the other day when a flock of wolves chased me up a green tower. Instead a damn bear came out of the woods too, so I had a bear, six wolves and about a dozen infected milling about below the tower - all focused on me...

Hello everyone.
This is currently intended state that may change for the future versions.

Thanks for the info @Geez, but why on earth would you do such a change, and unannounced at that? That feature was not just a bit of funny flair, it was also a way to escape wolves when ill equipped to deal with them. Please please please rethink this, it feels like yet another feature sacrificed in the hunt for better server performance, am I right? Instead look to e.g. how infected stay aggroed to cars even after the driver has left it, I can imagine that takes some unnecessary computing power.
At the very least add a config toggle so server owners can enable wolf vs infected fighting on their servers.
