1 -As the quarter has ended, we went silent for a couple of weeks to plan for the upcoming quarter during our PI rituals. This time we added the famous "Hackathon" to the end of the PI week so we could start the Easter break with excellent spirit after solving several smaller feedback items and bugs reported by you. Several of those stories will be included in this and the upcoming release. On top of that, we introduce various improvements to our API Gateway pattern and our 3rd generation runtime architecture. Subsequently, we will release a new runtime image supporting the multiple improvements.
1 +Here is our first release of this quarter. We have delivered additional minor (bug) fixes in this release and released the Live Flow testing feature. The last is a real improvement during the development process of a flow. Furthermore, you will find several enhancements in working in nextGen environments.

5 5  =====New features=====
6 6  
7 -* Deploy - Releases: We take the first step to fix properties to a release. This gives users more control over properties. For example, they can ensure that the release contains suitable properties that are more manageable.
8 -** When this release reaches production, the first new release that users activate and have Gen3 containers/properties, the new feature becomes active. Users will see a wrench icon on the release. When they click on it, they will see an overview of the attached Gen3 properties.
9 -** These properties cannot be altered for that specific release. This only counts for Gen3 properties, properties for Gen2 runtimes/machines will still be fetched from the Deploy-Properties list and can still be altered. If users notice that a specific Gen3 property of a release not contains the correct value, users can edit the value by opening the property overview of the release. At the bottom of the overview, the option ‘Change properties’ allows users to edit the properties of a release.
10 -** A new ‘property’ release will be created when users use that option. A ‘property’ release can be identified by a suffix that contains a letter. Users can change the properties, and when they are done, they can directly activate and deploy the release. With our new improvements to the deployment plan, only the affected containers by the property change(s) will be redeployed. This will result in faster deployments.
7 +* Create - Flow Testing: Till now, Flow Testing allowed to test eMagiz flows by defining a testing point on the start (and end) point(s), running them, and comparing the actual and expected messages. In this release, "Live Mode Testing" is introduced, making testing communication with an actual "live" endpoint possible. As a result, an "HTTP outbound gateway" can be set in "Live Mode." When you do this, the HTTP outbound gateway will send its request to the endpoint. Consequently, the response will be handled by the flow in the flow test so you can determine whether the actual endpoint behaves as expected.

12 -{{info}}Important to note is that
13 -* While changing a property in a ‘property’ release, users also have the option to alter the value in the Deploy-Properties list. By default, this is set to Yes, because when a new release is created, the values of Deploy-Properties will be used and not properties of an earlier release. When a user closes the screen for editing a property, the change will immediately be implemented.
14 -* The auto-clean release functionality is unaffected by this change, ‘property’ releases will not be counted as a release.
15 -* There is a maximum of twenty-six ‘property’ releases. (twenty-six letters of the alphabet)
16 -* Only the latest release can be edited. This can be identified by checking the suffix. The suffix with the latest letter of the alphabet is editable.{{/info}}

18 18  =====Minor changes=====
19 19  
20 -* General - Control Tower: Changed several generic triggers for more predictable behavior.
21 -* Administration - License Tracker: The license tracker has been updated for new license models and features.
22 -* Administration - License Tracker: When the feature ‘Data sink’ is enabled, the number of message packs of the contract will be displayed when you hover with the mouse over the feature.
23 -* Capture - Settings: Editing message types are now consistent between new and existing ones. (#884)
24 -* Design - API Gateway: Default HTTP responses are generated automatically (#417)
25 -* Design - Solution design: An additional option is added to the context menu that navigates to the message definition added to event streaming topics without processors. (#850)
26 -* Create - Add Integrations: We used the name of the API integration that you set in the Design phase to display on the Transfer screen. That helps you choose the correct integrations to add to the Create phase more quickly.
27 -* Create - 3rd Generation Migration: You can toggle the custom error handling option for your event processors while migrating your event processing container to the 3rd Generation Runtime.
28 -* Deploy - Deployment plan: When you run your deployment plan in your model using the new generation runtimes, you will be able to be the logs that relate to an executing deployment step.
29 -* Deploy - Deployment plan: The "Prepare release" is not scheduled automatically anymore, so you can be in control of your deployment plan.
30 -* Deploy - Architecture: Certificates only editable by system admin.
31 -* Manage - Jobs: In case the model has containers that contain jobs in one of its flows, users can inspect job managers, job executions, and job step executions. Note that this only works for the 3rd generation runtime.
11 +* Design - Store: You can encounter a warning message when you import a transformation from the store because your imported transformation requires information from the related store fragment. To avoid a non-functional transformation in the Create phase, you should include that store fragment. Afterward, we will update your default flow component transformer to make it work correctly.
12 +* Design - Store: We updated importing to help you avoid an error while importing store items that will break your message definition in some cases.
13 +* Design - Store: We fixed an issue that you import the message definition(s), and a specialized DataType of imported message definition(s) is not matched with the exported message definition(s). Now, they are matched, and your transformation won't get issues.
14 +* Create - Store: We automatically excluded resources that are not good enough from the exporting wizard. Then you will find it easy to recognize a problem and avoid creating unusable store items.
15 +* Create - Flow designer: CDM edit right is applied to the message definition in Create phase. You can only change the CDM message definition, Gateway message definition, or even Event streaming message definition with the proper rights. (#690)
16 +* Create - Flow designer: Model resources tab removed on the resources page when adding a resource to a validating filter. (#921)
17 +* Create - Flow designer: Improve the responsiveness of the resources tab on the right panel.
18 +* Create - Flow Designer: Resources in the "Unused resources" section can be marked as used when components refer to the resources through property placeholders or in custom SPeL expressions.
19 +* Create - API Gateway: We fixed an issue where an optional query parameter would cause failed requests if that parameter was not supplied, so please reset your entry flow to apply the fix. (#903)
20 +* Create - API Gateway: We fixed an issue where API-Key secured requests would fail with error code 500 instead of code 401 if no API-Key was supplied. Please reset your entry flow to apply the fix.
21 +* Create - Resources: When viewing a resource, its full name will be shown, removing the need to download the resource to obtain its name. (#922)
22 +* Deploy - Releases: We reduced the time it takes to prepare a release before it can be deployed. The process of building runtime images has been optimized.
23 +* Deploy - Releases: We have improved editing properties in releases for runtimes that are 3rd generation compatible.
24 +* Deploy - Architecture: The topics are now ordered alphabetically, and the runtimes will now get the same order as design architecture (after 'apply to environment') (#543)
25 +* Deploy - Architecture: We improved the auto-healing feature of AWS machines. The new generation JMS server runtimes always start before other runtimes are run.
26 +* Manage - Explore: A new queue delete button is added. This button is only visible to authorized personnel.
27 +* Administration -User management: Company contact can edit permissions of models that fall under child companies. (#895)
28 +* Administration - Overview: Contracts page removed. (#907)

33 33  ====Bug fixes====
34 34  
35 -* General - Runtime Image: A new runtime image for customer models running on the 3rd generation runtime. Please learn more about our [[Runtime Image release notes>>Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.V140.WebHome||target="blank"]].
36 -* Design - API Gateway: Improved generation of Open API JSON and example messages for API gateway operations to handle cases where an element in your gateway definition is used multiple times. (#440)
37 -* Design - API Gateway: We fixed an issue where changing the message format of a gateway message did not result in an update of the OpenAPI (i.e., Swagger) document.
38 -* Design - System message: We fixed an issue that led to importing towards the wrong message definition when the option "Import from XSD" was chosen on a synchronous message. (#818)
39 -* Create - Message: When viewing or editing an enumeration, it is no longer deleted when the cancel button is pressed.

41 -====Remarks====
42 -
43 -* Deploy - Releases: We removed the existing snapshots of release property values.
32 +* Create - Flow designer: Improved help texts of various flow components related to key-/truststores and their usage. They better explain what you need them for and mention essential security considerations.
33 +* Create - Flow designer: Various minor (cosmetic) fixes and changes in the edit pages of some flow components to make them more consistent with similar pages.
34 +* Deploy - Releases: We fixed an issue where after removing containers from a machine, during the execution of the deployment plan, the removed containers are not recognized as change, causing the 'Deploy machine' step to be skipped. (#514)
35 +* Manage/Event streaming statistics. For some models, (some) topic data did not show in the graphs. (#940)
