1 -Here's our first release of this quarter. We have delivered additional small (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 improvements in the way of work for nextGen environments.
1 +In the last sprint cycle, we focused on improving various aspects of the portal functionality. Among others, we focused on the next-generation architecture and others.

5 -=====New features=====
5 +=====Minor changes=====
6 6  
7 -* Create - Flow Testing: so far, the Flow Testing allows test eMagiz flows by defining the testing point on the starts and the end points and comparing the actual and expected messages. In this release, “Live Mode Testing” is introduced, making it possible to test communication with real endpoint. That means that an “http output gateway” can be marked in “Live Mode”, if so, the http output gateway will send its http request to the real endpoint and received the result so we can go further with testing.
8 -* Deploy - Architecture: You can now find the Static IP address of connector machines when you update to the new cloud template.
7 +* Create - Flow Designer: it is possible to select multiple components by area selection on the area with a scrollbar.
8 +* Create - Flow designer: The new best practices have updated Kafka components' default values. Updated values are:
9 +** For Kafka templates:
10 +*** Batch size: 200000
11 +*** Linger: 300
12 +** For Kafka message listener containers
13 +*** Fetch min. amount: 100000

10 -=====Minor changes=====
15 +{{warning}}The existing Kafka components in your flows will automatically be updated with the new best practice values. To make deploying these changes more effortless for you, we will create a new version of your flows after updating the values (versions will be created in the name of model contacts) and transfer them to the Deploy phase. You can then create and deploy a new release with updated flow versions.{{/warning}}

12 -* Deploy - Architecture: The topics are now ordered alphabetically and the runtimes will now get the same order as design architecture (after ‘apply to environment’)
13 -* Create - Flow designer: CDM edit right is applied to the message definition in Create phase. You can not change CDM message definition, Gateway message definition, even Event streaming message definition without the proper right.
14 -* Deploy - Architecture: We improved the auto-healing feature of AWS machines. The new generation JMS server runtimes always start before other runtimes are ran.
15 -* Administration-User management: Company contact can edit permissions of models that fall under child companies
16 -* Administration: Contracts page removed
17 -* Create-Flow designer: Model resources tab removed on resources page when adding an resource to a validating filter.
18 -* 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.
19 -* Deploy - Releases: We have improved editing properties in releases for runtimes that are 3rd generation compatible.
20 -* Design - Store: You are able to see some warning messages when you import a transformation from store. Because your imported transformation is required some information from the related store fragment. You should include that store fragment to avoid a breaking transformation in Create phase after importing. Afterward, we will update your existing flow component transformer to make it work correctly.
21 -* Design - Store: We updated importing to help you avoiding an error during importing store item that will break your message definition in some special cases.
22 -* Create - Store: We excluded automatically resources that are not good enough from the exporting wizard. Then you will easy to recognize a problem and avoid creating unusable store item.
23 -* Flow Designer: Resources in "Unused resources" section can be marked as used for the case that the resources are referred by components through property placeholders or in custom spel expressions.
24 -* Create - API Gateway: We fixed an issue where an optional query parameter would cause failed requests, if that parameter was not supplied. Please reset your entry flow to apply the fix.
25 -* 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.
26 -* Design - Store: We fixed an issue that you import the message definition(s) and a specialized DataType of imported message definition(s) are not matched with the exported message definition(s). Now, they are matched and your transformation won't get issues.
27 -* Create-Resources: When viewing a resource, its full name will be shown, removing the need to download the resource in order to obtain its name
28 -* Create - Flow designer: Improve responsiveness of resources tab at right panel
29 -* Manage - Explore: New button to delete queue is added and only visible for Expert Service (Admin)
17 +* Deploy - Cloud Templates: New Cloud Templates are available for single-lane and double-lane environments. Please check out the cloud template [[release notes>>Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]] for more information.
18 +* Deploy - Architecture: We removed the deprecated reminder popup to update your cloud slot template. The automated upgrade feature replaces it alongside the "Upgrade" functionality in Deploy - Architecture.
19 +* Deploy - Deployment plan: We updated the right pane of the deployment plan to make it more compatible with the new runtime generation. Now, you can see all related logs regarding your deployment. By default, we only show some necessary logs, such as error logs, warning logs, and started runtime information logs. You can use the filter logs icons at the top of the list to show more information.
20 +* Deploy - Deployment plan: We updated the logic within our deployment plan functionality. The deployment step that disables all enabled triggers from the Manage phase disables triggers till you exit the deployment plan overview. That means that those triggers will be re-enabled after you move away from the deployment process or close the browser. Furthermore, there is no deployment step configuration to "enable" triggers anymore.

31 31  ====Bug fixes====
32 32  
33 -* Create - Flow designer: Improved help texts of various flow components related to key-/truststores and their usage. They now better explain what you need them for and mention important security considerations.
34 -* Create - Flow designer: Various small (cosmetic) fixes and changes in the edit pages of some flow components to make them more consistent with similar pages.
35 -* Manage/Event streaming statistics. For some models, (some) topic data did not show in the graphs.
36 -* Deploy - Releases: We fixed an issue, where after removing containers from a machine, during execution of the deployment plan, the removed containers are not recognized as change, causing the ‘Deploy machine’ step to be skipped.
37 -
38 -====Remarks====
39 -
24 +* Deploy - Architecture: We improved timeout settings to give Stop, Restart, and Reset runtime actions enough time to execute. (#957)
25 +* Design - Store: Importing into "Design" from the store is possible, even if the integration is not in Create yet.
26 +* Manage - Monitoring: Detailed HTTP statistics will now show the correct user in case of API key authorization in more cases. Note that this functionality requires a newly deployed release. (#956)
27 +* Manage - Manage Dashboards: The screen loading speed is significantly improved for all models. This is most noticeable for larger models. (#964)
