5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release is characterized mainly by our efforts to bolster our 3rd generation runtime and all its interactions. Furthermore, some minor fixes and beta features will be released to the community.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving our next-generation architecture and introduced alerting functionality on top of our event streaming pattern based on user feedback. Furthermore, several smaller feedback items and bugs have been resolved with this release. So without further ado, let us dive into all we have to offer.
6 6  
7 -== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
7 +== **Event streaming alerting** ==
8 8  
9 -This release will introduce various improvements for our 3rd generation runtime. Below you will find the most noteworthy enhancements we made to the 3rd generation runtime and its interaction with the portal.
9 +This release expands our alerting functionality into the event streaming pattern. As of now, one new "static" alert has been introduced for all clients (using event streaming), and two "dynamic" alerts have been introduced that you can configure yourself if there is a need for it.
10 10  
11 -//__Migration of JMS backup configuration improved__//
12 -With this release, the configuration of the JMS backup configuration is improved to prevent potential connectivity issues after migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
11 +The "static" alert we have added raises an alert (and a subsequent email) when the actual topic size crosses the threshold of 80% of the configured maximum retention size on a topic. This alert provides insights into whether messages on it are deleted due to a size or time constraint. In cases where data is deleted, the topic was too full way before the messages should have been removed due to the retention hours constraint. This alert can indicate that messages might be deleted before consumer groups had the option to consume the messages.
13 13  
14 -//__Prechecks on Upgrade option made available for 3rd generation runtime__//
15 -As with the current runtime architecture, you can now also execute the prechecks before automatically upgrading to the latest cloud template on the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
13 +The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on the queue level we already offer to the community.
16 16  
17 -//__Autogenerated exits can be deployed at once__//
18 -This release has fixed a bug that prevented you from deploying an exit flow correctly.
15 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--new-alerting-options.png]]
19 19  
20 -//__Code mapping functionality available on 3rd generation runtime__//
21 -As of this release, code mapping functionality is also available for the 3rd generation runtime. This removes the restriction on migrating to the new 3rd generation runtime for our clients that use the code mapping functionality.
17 +The first new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once the number of messages on one (or more topics) is less than a certain number per defined time unit. So, for example, you can configure an alert once the number of messages placed on a topic called "Exception" is less than 15 messages within 5 minutes.
22 22  
23 -//__Failing runtimes won't be restarted indefinitely anymore__//
24 -We have put a cap on this behavior to prevent your logs from exploding due to a failing runtime being restarted indefinitely. As of this release, five attempts will be made to restart a failing runtime. If the runtime can not start correctly after these attempts, the runtime will be stopped.

25 25  
26 -== **Exportable Release Audit** ~* ==
21 +The second new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once one (or more) consumer groups are more than X messages behind on one or more topics. The configuration of this is comparable to what we saw before.
27 27  
28 -On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to export an audit document of your (Production) release.
23 +For more information on the generic way of working surrounding alerting, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] and this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.Alerting.novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting.WebHome||target="blank"]].

25 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
31 31  
32 -{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when exporting an audit document:
33 - * Works **only** for releases that are promoted and made active on **Production**
34 - * You will **only** see changes made during the **current** calendar year
35 - * On the first of April all objects of the **last** calendar year will be **removed**.
36 - ** As a consequence you cannot download this information anymore **after** the first of April{{/warning}}
27 +//__Increased grace period for shutdown__//
28 +In this release, we have increased a container's grace period to shut down before it is forcefully shut down. This should reduce the chance of unwanted failover behavior within your model.
37 37  
38 -== **Feedback items ** ==
30 +//__Update at once or not__//
31 +This release fixes and re-introduces the option to execute your actions on the eMagiz per zone or all at once when running in a double-lane Docker setup.
39 39  
40 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
33 +//__Improved user feedback while executing a deployment plan__//
34 +This release introduces additional feedback to the user when the deployment plan is executed. This is noticeable when a step cannot be executed properly. The relevant information about why this cannot be executed is shown to the user. This way, they can take this information and act upon it instead of assuming everything went well.
41 41  
42 -//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
43 -We have improved various display names to ensure that it is clear from the naming that store content can be implemented in all integration patterns.
36 +//__Improved auto-healing when running in a hybrid situation__//
37 +In situations where you run in a hybrid situation (i.e., partly next-gen and partly the current generation), we have improved the auto-healing functionality in case an "out of memory" appears on a runtime running in the current generation but on a next-generation architecture.
44 44  
45 -//__Press "Enter" to search on multiple pages__//
46 -In our Daemon Switch release, we added functionality that allowed you to press **Enter** to search on the property overview page. This release has added this functionality to many more pages across the portal. The complete list is as follows.
