1 -Another couple of weeks have passed, so it is time for a new release. We have focused in this period on improving the migration process towards the next-generation architecture as well as how the user experience and interaction with the next-generation architecture works.
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 -=====Minor changes=====
5 +====New Features====
6 6  
7 -* Create - 3rd generation runtime migration: You will be notified by a pop-up when the migration is complete.
8 -* Create - 3rd generation migration: Migrating a JMS server to the 3rd generation runtime will migrate backup JMS servers too.
9 -* Create - Flow designer: Added a validation for HTTP outbound gateways and HTTP outbound channel adapters that will create an alert if both Encoding mode and a REST template is set for the component.
10 -* Deploy - Releases: We improved the performance of preparing and deploying releases, by optimizing the algorithm that decides if runtime images needs to be rebuild or not.
11 -* Deploy - Releases: We improved resource validation when preparing releases. You will get notified when a flow resource was updated in one flow, but not in another flow in your release. Only applies to third generation runtimes.
12 -* Deploy - Architecture: You can apply your changes to environment without having an active release.
13 -* Manage - Alerting: Updated the eMagiz control tower with an improved way to determine whether metrics for a runtime are missing.
14 -(control tower, so Gen3 only)
15 -* General: Updated the monitoring stack so alerts can be paused, reducing the alerts that are received during eMagiz infra deployments.
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.

17 -====Bug fixes====
10 +====Minor Changes====
18 18  
19 -* General: Increased the performance of the eMagiz Control Tower, which should significantly reduce the occurence of the 'failed to send to elastic' log message in your models.
20 -* Deploy - Architecture: The docker commands now correctly propagate to the java process, making sure containers stop, start and restart as intended when running runtimes in a hybrid situation. Please check out the runtime [[release notes>>Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]] for additional information.
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.

22 -====Remarks====
23 +====Bug fixes====
23 23  
24 -* Infrastructure Upgrade: We have updated the underlying version of one of our applications to 9.24.2.
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.
