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.
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.

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.
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====

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.
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)
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.

30 30  ====Bug fixes====
31 31  
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)
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.
