1 +In the last sprint, we released our migration wizard for the new eMagiz connector. This wizard will guide you through the process of migrating the existing eMagiz connector within Mendix to our latest version, which is packed with improvements. Furthermore, we will release a new [[runtime image>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]] that corrects some changes and improves the UI/UX of loads of data grids across the platform. In addition, we have various smaller changes and bug fixes for you to enjoy.

5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have processed additional feedback on the Manage phase to ensure you can more easily create overviews of your statistics, displaying all information correctly and improving the migration process to the next-generation architecture in the Create phase slightly. On top of that, we have improved the scalability of our new generation monitoring stack and the alerting structure. We will also release a new cloud template for our next-generation infrastructure to comply with technical requirements from our cloud provider.

9 -As can be seen on our [[status page>>https://status.emagiz.com/incidents/dbh6g9w3ks7q||target="blank"]], we will release a new cloud template for our next-generation models (both single and double lane) that will change a configuration in these templates to comply with technical and operational requirements from our cloud provider. The announcement of the status page itself holds more detail for those to whom it pertains.
7 +* eMagiz Connector - Migration: We have implemented a migration wizard that allows you to migrate to the new eMagiz Connector. You can start this wizard via Deploy -> Mendix connectors on a system-by-system basis.
8 +** Migrating eMagiz connector flows to the new version will remove the history of the old versions from the history tab. Make sure you copy this information if you want to archive it. After migrating your flows, this will no longer be visible.

10 +====Minor Changes====
12 12  
13 -//__Improved Validation when migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
14 -To improve the migration process to the next-generation architecture, we now show a list of all reported problems, allowing the user to resolve them before migrating to the next-generation architecture.
12 +* General - Event Streaming: We have updated our event streaming infrastructure.
13 +* General - Datagrids: We have updated a lot of our data grids to reflect the latest changes available
14 +** ‘Double click’ action on data grid rows is introduced to the newer datagrid format and, where possible, configured as such. Since older grids will be gradually replaced, this update allows for the maintainability of the behavior you are used to.
15 +** Unfortunately, The above change resulted in a behavior shift when selecting one or multiple rows in a grid (for example, in the trigger overview). Previously, clicking on the whole row resulted in the selection of the row. Now only checking the checkbox results in a row selection.
16 +* Create - Transformation: In the Transformation tab of the Create phase, conditional operators can be added for transformations that have multiple attributes as a source. (#1272)
17 +* Deploy - Machine: We have updated the default network deployment strategy for Windows machines, which might affect your machines. When you access the Deploy phase, you will see the list of machines required for redeployment. Redeploying your machine will ensure you benefit from these enhanced network capabilities.
18 +* Deploy - History: Deploy releases history tab better renders the information on the screen.
19 +** Additionally, we have updated the "Export to Excel" button to reflect the latest functionality. As a result, there is no longer a limit to how many rows can be exported. (#1601)
20 +* Deploy - General: We have implemented performance improvements to the Deploy phase. The larger the model, the more notable the improvements.
21 +* eMagiz Connector - General: We released a new patch version of the eMagizConnector in the Mendix marketplace. It includes some small changes to the naming conventions to remove the ACR violations.

16 -{{info}}Note that when no problem is found, the migration process of that runtime will start automatically.{{/info}}
23 +====Bug fixes====
17 17  
18 -//__Improved HTTP Statistics__//
19 -To improve the filtering and refresh functionality we offer on this overview, we have made several changes in this release that will improve the behavior of this overview.
20 -
21 -//__Show values on the runtime level in Deploy Architecture__//
22 -We have improved the values shown on the runtime (i.e., container) level in Deploy Architecture so you can better assess whether the memory configuration is still suitable for your deployed solution.
23 -
24 -{{info}}To get to the values we use different calculation methods per type of runtime, as certain runtime types have various reasons for existence.
25 -* JMS - The number of queues in the active release.
26 -* Messaging Container - The number of messaging integrations in the active release.
27 -* Messaging Connector - The number of messaging integrations related to this system in the active release.
28 -* API Gateway Container - The number of operations in the active release.
29 -* Event Streaming Container - The number of event processors in the active release.
30 -
31 -There might be multi-tenant and multi-runtime situations that do not always get to the exact number; however, this is a great improvement compared to showing no values.{{/info}}

33 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
34 -
35 -//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
36 -In restricting the configuration options on the certificate level in one of our latter releases, it became impossible for normal users to add and edit certificates within Deploy Architecture. To resolve this problem we have now released a fix to resolve this issue, giving people the ability again to add and edit certificates under Deploy Architecture.
37 -
38 -//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
39 -When you run in a multi-runtime configuration and change the actual flows that need to run on container A vs. container B, it happened before that all flows were still being deployed on all runtimes. With this release, we will feed this information correctly to our infrastructure to ensure the correct and configured flows are deployed on the proper containers.
40 -
41 -//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
42 -To avoid errors and loading problems when analyzing your statistics in Manage, we have removed the option to select a default time range spanning more than seven days. This is to guarantee the stability of the solution and to avoid users getting unnecessary errors.

44 -== **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
45 -
46 -As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:

25 +* Design - System Message: Using the "save and create new attribute" button in the system message tab of the design phase will not open a "new attribute" window until the previous attribute’s details are properly entered and saved. (#1650)
26 +* Create - Transformation: Help text appears for relevant attributes when creating a new transformer in the transformation tab of the create phase. (#1352)
27 +* Catalog - General: The content inside the “used by integrations” table for the topic catalog is properly rendered to be more readable for systems with longer names. The title represents the content of the table. (#1224)
28 +* Create - Transformation: Date/time transformer pop-ups in the Transformation tab of the Create phase are rendered in a format that allows editing when in edit mode. (#1642)
29 +* Infra - Runtime Image: Support for the ‘NTCredentials’ authentication method in a custom HttpComponentsMessageSender support object has been reintroduced.
30 +* Infra - Runtime Image: In some edge cases, log messages produced with the Logging channel adapter component did not end up in the Manage phase. This issue is now resolved.
