5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have work hard on improving our next generation architecture and introduced the "live" mode within our flow testing functionality. Furthermore there are loads of smaller feedback items and bugs that have been resolved with this release. So without further ado let us dive into all we have to offer.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on a lot of things that are unfortanetly not quite ready to be released. As a result the ouput of this release is limited. Having said that we still bring some key improvements in the Deploy and Manage phase that would make life much easier.

7 -== **"Live" mode on flow testing** ==
7 +== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
8 8  
9 -With this release we bring an improved version of the flow testing functionality. As of now you will have the option to switch between "live" and "mock" mode will running a flow test. The "mock" mode is the mode you are used to from us. In this mode all external communication is mocked by the system and only the functional process can be tested.
9 +//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
10 +When executing your deployment plan we will show specific log entries of the info category that indicate that a container (i.e. runtime) has started up correctly. On top of that we show the warnings and errors in this overview.
10 10  
11 -By switching to "live" mode you can not only test the functional process but also the communication to the external system. You can do so by entering the "edit" mode of the flow test and toggle between "mock" and "live" mode. When doing so eMagiz will show you the following pop-up stressing the consequences of your actions.
12 +{{info}}Note that when the JMS container gets restarted connection errors in the logs are a normal thing to witness so keep your eyes peeled for the startup logging on JMS level to gain confidence in the deployment.{{/info}}

13 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-pop-up.png]]
14 +//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
15 +To avoid mismatches between various parts of the infrastructure we have improved the timeout configuration on certain deployment plan steps to reduce the chance that these mismatches occur.
14 14  
15 -Once confirmed you will see that the user interface now indicates that the endpoint is in "live" mode.
17 +{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the current-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}

17 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-result.png]]
19 +//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
20 +To solve a bug for a specific client we changed the logic to show the user info (i.e. first part of the api key) in a specific implementation just as we already do in our standard implementations.
18 18  
19 -{{info}}* The following restrictions apply for this functionality
20 - ** "Live" mode can only be activated on HTTP outbound gateway components
21 - ** "Live" mode can **not** be active when you want to use the flow test as an "automated" test{{/info}}
22 +{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the next-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}

23 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
24 +//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
25 +This release improves the loading speed with which all the dashboards in Manage are shown to the user. This will enhance the user experience within the Manage phase.
24 24  
25 -//__Event Streaming statistics completion__//
26 -In this release, we have updated the retrieval of data to ensure that for all models, all environments and all topics this data can be shown to the user so they can properly monitor the environment.
27 +== **Store Improvements** ==
27 27  
28 -//__Deployments on next generation architecture__//
29 -This release fixes several smaller bugs and adds several improvements to the deployment process of the next generation architecture.
29 +//__Importing in Design is improved__//
30 +We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.
30 30  
31 -//__Clean queues option__//
32 -This release introduces an option for **admins** to clean queues that remained after a migration towards the next generation runtime architecture. This will make the overview of which queues are "problematic" a much more realistic overview.
32 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
33 33  
34 -== **Feedback items ** ==
34 +//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
35 +We have removed a reminder pop-up on a pending cloud template as it was deprecated and could cause issues when using it in communication with other systems.
35 35  
36 -//__On-premise containers are started upon slot wakeup__//
37 -With this release, we have added additional functionality to models running in the next generation runtime architecture. With this improvement all on-premise containers are stopped when the cloud slot goes to sleep and are woken up once the slot is woken up in the morning.
37 +//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
38 +When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down furhter down the flow.
38 38  
39 -//__Resource path is shown to the user__//
40 -You can now, without downloading, see the resource path of a resource by viewing the metadata of the resource. You can do so by pressing the "eye" icon to view this information.
40 +//__Improved Kafka settings_//
41 +For all flows that use a Kafka related component within the flow designer we will run a migration to update every single one of them to the new best practices and create a new flow version for them.
41 41  
42 -//__Flow designer improvements__//
43 -With this release various improvements have been made to the flow designer. Among others we have improved the overview of what an "unused resource" is. You now have the option to define certain resources that are used but cannot be auto-detected by eMagiz to be an "used" resource to avoid confusion.
43 +{{info}}We stronly encourage all users that use these components to update to these new best practices as they increase stability of the cluster and throughput of the solution{{/info}}
44 44  
45 -//__Improved capabilities of a company contact__//
46 -With this release we have improved the capabilities of a company contact. As of now you can also add users to models belonging to subcompanies below your the company to which you are the company contact.
47 -
48 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
49 -
50 -//__Optional API parameters are handled correctly__//
51 -Currently, eMagiz would create the wrong expression for handling optional API parameters. With this release we have improved the expression in such a way that all optional parameters are handled correctly out of the box.
52 -
53 -//__Without CDM rights nothing related to any data model can be edited anymore__//
54 -With this release, we have made sure that nothing related to any data model can be edited without having the proper rights.
55 -
56 -//__Improved sorting of Design and Deploy archticture__//
57 -With this release, we now ensure that both Design and Deploy architecture are sorted in the same manner to avoid confusion when quickly switching between both views.
