5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have been hard at work bolstering our offering concerning the upcoming rollout of our new architecture stack. Next to that, we have made several small updates as this release contained a complete revamp of the Manage phase. Please take a moment to read the below carefully and work with the new flow designer as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with this one.
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.

7 -==**Store additions**==
8 -We have released several Store items that can be used in the Design Store and which include complete data models and transformations. See the list below of the components that have these.

12 -==**Audit trail User Management**==
13 -Since the introduction of the API Gateway and Event Streaming patterns in eMagiz, the notion of users and roles have been added to the platform. In the User Management section in Deploy you will find the overview of the users and roles configured in your model. With this release we have also added the history tab to this page in which the platform registers the changes made in Users & Roles. At the moment when the user presses the Apply to environment button, the changes between the previous history entry and this action are registered in this section. The popup that is displayed when pressing Apply to environment has been expanded with the list of entries that will be added to this History section.

9 +//__Improved auto-generated error handling__//
10 +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.
16 16  
17 -==**Next Generation Monitoring & Alerting engine**==
18 -In the recent sprints, we have completed our alerting & monitoring engine for our new runtime architecture. Effectively that means that we are now used State Generation components inside this architecture, and all error messages, runtime metrics and logging are now passing through this engine. All of our regular Manage phase screens have been updated to point to the new storage locations.
19 -
20 -* In the Manage phase we have introduced proper means to toggle between data of the current and the new monitoring stack (transition to the new runtime can be a runtime by runtime approach).
21 -* We have also released and described the new Manage phase graphs in [[Release blog 183>>https://docs.emagiz.com/bin/view/Main/Release%20Information/Release%20Blogs/Rainbow%20World||target="blank"]].
22 -* In the new architecture all error messages are automatically send to the eMagiz monitoring & alerting stack, which means that these flow components are no longer required. During migration these will be removed. In case custom error handling is required, these components are made available in the Create Store and will point to the current error flow (which serves a new purpose from then onwards)
23 -* Hosted SOAP Webservices can be migrated to the new architecture which removes the need to use the Jetty component, and introduces the request layer as root element in the System Message. This removes the need for custom XSD to validate incoming request to the SOAP webservice. The new HTTP Statistics page can be leveraged to review SOAP traffic as well.
24 -* The Docker Cloud templates are now also connected to the eMagiz support infrastructure providing cloud instance level alarms

27 -=== **Improvements** ===
28 -
29 -* Performance Deployment plan
30 -When running a Deployment plan on a large environment, the browser would consume a significant amount of CPU. This has been improved with this release.
31 -
32 -* Flow Designer updates
33 -We have added an icon to identify a Queued channel which are mostly found in entry flows that use the h2 bridge. Furthermore, the display of wiretaps and annotations can be copied now. Next to that some small UI improvements where made.
34 -
35 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@185 - Release blog 2.png]]
36 -
37 -* Store
38 -We have fixed several smaller Store import issues to improve the user experience.
39 -
12 +//__Switch default message format__//
13 +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 +
15 +//__Re-using elements in gateway message__//
16 +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 +
18 +//__Improved naming of API operations when adding integrations to Create__//
19 +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 +
21 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
22 +
23 +//__Update of the static alerting engine__//
24 +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.
25 +
26 +//__Add "Data pipeline" functionality__//
27 +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.
28 +
29 +//__Fix related to the debugger__//
30 +This release introduces a fix that allows users to debug a flow once the toggle "Send error messages to eMagiz" is activated.
31 +
32 +{{warning}}To make use of this bug fix, you need to be on the latest runtime image{{/warning}}
33 +
34 +//__Improved migration process__//
35 +This release introduced a fix that allows a user to migrate event processors with custom error handling without manual intervention.
36 +
37 +//__Deployment plan change__//
38 +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.
39 +
40 +{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesitate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
41 +
42 +== **Feedback items ** ==
43 +
44 +//__License Tracker improvements__//
45 +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.
46 +
47 +//__Ability to view the message definition for a topic__//
48 +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.
49 +
50 +//__Restricted access for uploading custom certificates to endpoints__//
51 +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.
52 +
53 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
54 +
55 +//__Improved deletion behavior for enumerations__//
56 +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.
57 +
58 +//__Prevent "async" api operations__//
59 +With this release, we have removed the ability to select the "async" option when the default message format is API Management.
60 +
61 +//__Importing a response definition broke the request definition__//
62 +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.
63 +
64 +//__Removing a flow does not update the API "all-entry" anymore__//
65 +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.
66 +
67 +//__Stop deployment plan when a property is missing__//
68 +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.
69 +
70 +//__Cap stack trace of error messages and log entries__//
71 +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.
