5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have focused on wrapping up the previous quarter and starting the new one. When this happens, we go silent for a few weeks to plan for the upcoming quarter during our PI rituals. This time we added the famous "Hackathon" to the end of the PI week so we could start the Easter break with excellent spirit after solving several smaller feedback items and bugs reported by you. Several of those stories will be included in this and the upcoming release. On top of that, we introduce various improvements to our API Gateway pattern and our 3rd generation runtime architecture. Subsequently, we will release a new runtime image supporting the multiple improvements.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving the migration towards our next-generation architecture and the general behavior when running on the next-generation architecture. Furthermore, several improvements have been made to our infrastructure to ensure that all data flowing via this infrastructure now that more and more customers are migrating can be handled as well, if not better, as before.

7 -== **Release properties** ==**
7 +== **3rd generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
8 8  
9 -== **API improvements** ==
9 +//__"Stop" action when running a hybrid situation is not causing issues anymore__//
10 +Before, it could happen when running a double-lane setup in a hybrid situation (i.e., karaf, based runtimes on top of the next-generation architecture) that the stop action on said runtime would not stop the runtime but "kill" it. With this release, that behavior is changed.
10 10  
11 -//__Improved auto-generated error handling__//
12 -When you create a new operation in your API gateway, eMagiz will now automatically generate the correct schemas, HTTP codes, and examples for this operation based on industry standards.
12 +{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the karaf-based runtimes. The impact of this can be read [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-deploy-execute-deployment-plan-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
13 13  
14 -//__Switch default message format__//
15 -We have improved the logic when you switch the message format of your gateway message from XML to JSON or vice versa. As a result, the Swagger file will be changed accordingly. Once you update the relevant flow in Create and deploy the solution, the Swagger UI will automatically match the expected result.
14 +//__Improved efficiency in deploying a release__//
15 +This release improves the efficiency of the "prepare release" step needed when deploying on the next-generation architecture.
16 16  
17 -//__Re-using elements in gateway message__//
18 -This release improves how the examples and schemas in Swagger and the Flow Testing functionality are generated when certain elements repeatedly appear in different places within one specific gateway message.
17 +//__Removed specific dependencies between Deploy Architecture and Releases__//
18 +In this release, we have removed several explicit dependencies that confused the functionality in the Deploy Architecture overview compared to the functionality linked to a release, specifically the deployment of a release.
19 19  
20 -//__Improved naming of API operations when adding integrations to Create__//
21 -Previously when you added API operations to the Create phase, the HTTP operation (i.e., POST, PUT, GET) was not visible to a user. As a result, it became tough for a user to discern between specific operations once multiple of them were used on one resource (i.e., Order, Invoice, Lead). To clarify this for the user, the display name defined in Design (instead of Capture) is now used within this overview for these operations.
20 +//__Improved validation errors on the invalid configuration of HTTP outbound components__//
21 +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.
22 22  
23 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
23 +//__Improved migration behavior__//
24 +This release introduces several improvements concerning the migration behavior via "Transfer settings from Design." Among these are:
25 +A smoother migration of your JMS (and backup JMS) process.
26 +Shortening of names that otherwise would be too long, additional feedback given to the user.
27 +Feedback when the migration process is finished.
24 24  
25 -//__Update of the static alerting engine__//
26 -In this release, we have updated the static alerting engine that determines when one of the static alerts, as defined by eMagiz, should be triggered (or not). This change will improve the performance of the solution and will ensure that the alerts are activated correctly.
29 +//__Additional checks when deploying__//
30 +This release introduces additional checks when deploying. Among others, we have added a check to prevent you from deploying two flows that use the same resource with differing versions. Not stopping this can cause issues with deployments and even worse with the functional behavior of the flows, as it leads to the situation in which a validation error might trigger on one offramp but not on the other.
27 27  
28 -//__Add "Data pipeline" functionality__//
29 -This release introduces the "data pipeline" functionality to the 3rd generation runtime. This removes another blockage for models waiting on this before migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
30 -
31 -//__Fix related to the debugger__//
32 -This release introduces a fix that allows users to debug a flow once the toggle "Send error messages to eMagiz" is activated.
33 -
34 -{{warning}}To make use of this bug fix, you need to be on the latest runtime image{{/warning}}
35 -
36 -//__Improved migration process__//
37 -This release introduced a fix that allows a user to migrate event processors with custom error handling without manual intervention.
38 -
39 -//__Deployment plan change__//
40 -In this release, the prepare release step will not start automatically anymore. This prevents the user from waiting for this action to be finished before they can continue deploying the solution to their environment.

44 -== **Feedback items ** ==
45 -
46 -//__License Tracker improvements__//
47 -With this release, we have added several new features available to purchase. On top of that, additional information on the license, such as adding notes and seeing the data sink packets, is now available.
48 -
49 -//__Ability to view the message definition for a topic__//
50 -Currently, you can easily navigate to the message definition of a topic via the context menu in Design, even if there is no event processor linked to the topic.
51 -
52 -//__Restricted access for uploading custom certificates to endpoints__//
53 -To improve our cloud offerings' general security and prevent users from uploading the wrong certificates, we have now restricted access to this view to ensure that only the administrator can execute this change. This allows for a discussion between the team implementing the solution and eMagiz before actions are taken.
54 -
55 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
56 -
57 -//__Improved deletion behavior for enumerations__//
58 -To prevent that eMagiz will incorrectly delete enumeration lists when you press a "Cancel" button, we have improved the deletion behavior when viewing enumerations in the Create phase of eMagiz.
59 -
60 -//__Prevent "async" api operations__//
61 -With this release, we have removed the ability to select the "async" option when the default message format is API Management.
62 -
63 -//__Importing a response definition broke the request definition__//
64 -Currently, importing a response definition breaks the request definition. With this release, we have changed this behavior, ensuring that only the response definition is changed when importing and not the request definition.
65 -
66 -//__Removing a flow does not update the API "all-entry" anymore__//
67 -When you removed a flow from Create, the API Gateway all-entry received a new version of the flow. With this release, we have changed this behavior so that this only happens when the flow you remove is an API-related flow and not when it is a messaging or event streaming flow.
68 -
69 -//__Stop deployment plan when a property is missing__//
70 -Currently, the execution of your deployment plan continues when eMagiz notices a missing property. As this is confusing for a user and not desirable, we have updated the logic to ensure that when this happens, the execution stops. This allows you to fill in the properties, and once filled in, you can continue with the remainder of the deployment plan.
71 -
72 -//__Cap stack trace of error messages and log entries__//
73 -To prevent that enormous stack traces of error messages and log entries need to be processed by various systems, we have now limited what is kept so only the relevant information is shown to the user.
