Last modified by Carlijn Kokkeler on 2023/10/12 16:42

In the last sprint cycle, we focused on improving our deployment plan. On top of that, we made several improvements to the store.

Please find out more on our Release blog.

Minor changes
  • Design - Channels: Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier. (#845)
  • Create - Framework: The framework used in the flow designer has been updated, improving performance.
  • Deploy - Architecture: The description users see when adapting the topic retention size has been changed to be less confusing.
  • Deploy - Deployment plan: The algorithm for genarating a default deployment plan is improved to keep JMS downtime and alerting to a minimum. (#1009)
  • Deploy - Deployment plan: A change in the memory settings of a container triggers a redeployment of the container. (#993)
  • Deploy - Properties: We removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
  • Deploy - Release properties: The description of a property can be changed by editing the property. (#1064)
  • Deploy - Release: The start/stop/restart machine deployment steps are now also executed correctly for AWS and on-premises machines.
  • Deploy - Release: When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
  • Deploy - Release: Performance improvements have been implemented for loading releases in Deploy.
  • Manage - Alerting: If alerting has been paused manually, it will not be activated automatically after a release deployment. (#1024)
  • Manage - Alerting: Inactivated users should be removed from all alert settings (including “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
  • Manage - Monitoring: Graphs showing problematic runtimes, queues and requests have been updated to be sorted by “Process CPU usage”, “Messages in queue” and “Unsuccessful requests” by default respectively for 3rd generation runtimes. (#1069)
  • Manage - Monitoring: The 3rd generation runtime dashboards have been changed to show data on UTC time zone by default. (#1070)
  • Manage - Monitoring: Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive. (#1063)
  • Administration - My account: When an account password change request is made, even when this fails, a mail is sent to the account owner to inform on the action.
  • Administration - My account: When changing a password, it is compared to a list of known database breaches for security. A warning is shown when the password is found in a database.

Bug fixes

  • Design - Store: We fixed an issue that blocked you from importing Store content in the Design phase. The message definitions and message mappings are now imported correctly as the original content in the item of the Store.
  • Design - Store: We fixed an issue that the orders of message definition elements were changed after being imported.
  • Design - Store: We fixed an issue that importing a store item with synchronous message definitions went wrong. Now, the imported message definitions should be the same with the exported message definitions.
  • Design - Store: We fixed an issue that static copies were missing when importing store items. (#888)
  • Design - Store: Users who are not the model owner no longer see the eMagiz Store disclaimer popup, instead they see a popup containing a message. (#1027)
  • Create - Errors - We fixed an issue that, when migrating to Gen3, the error channel to “errorChannel” is only created for the first inbound in an entry flow.
  • Create - Styling: The styling of the left component panel has been restructured, solving a rare bug which would break the styling of certain functionalities.
  • Deploy - Cloud Template: An issue with disk performance in the last cloud template update has been resolved in this release. Please check out the cloud template release notes for more information.
  • Manage - Monitoring: It is now possible to search on messages using partial search words in Manage Monitoring. For example, a search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
Infra and image changes
  • Infra: New logging feature enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
