5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have work hard on improving our next generation architecture and introduced alerting functionality on top of our event streaming pattern based on user feedback. Furthermore there are several 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		-== **Event streaming alerting** ==
	7	+== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
8	8
9		-With this release we expand our alerting functionality into the event streaming pattern. As of now one new "static" alert is introduced for all clients (using event streaming) and two "dynamic" alerts are introduced that you can configure yourself if there is need for it.
	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		-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 whether messages on it are deleted due to a size or time constraint. In cases where data is deleted becomes the topic was too full way before the messages should have been removed as a result of the retention hours constraint this alert can be seen as an indication that messages might be deleted before consumer groups had the option to consume the messages.
	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}}
12	12
13		-The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on queue level we already offer to the community.
	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.

15		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--new-alerting-options.png]]
	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}}
16	16
17		-The first new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once the total 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 message placed on a topic called "Exception" is less than 15 messages within 5 minutes.
	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.

19		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
	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}}
20	20
21		-The second new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once one (or more) consumer groups is more than X number of messages behind on one or more topics. The configuration of this is comparable as we saw before.
	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.
22	22
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"]].
	27	+== **Store Improvements** ==
24	24
25		-== **3rd generation improvements** ==
	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.
26	26
27		-//__Increased grace period for shutdown__//
28		-In this release, we have increased the grace period a container gets to shutdown before it is forcefully shutdown. This should reduce the chance of unwanted failover behavior to pop-up within your model.
	32	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
29	29
30		-//__Update at once or not__//
31		-This release fixes 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.
	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.
32	32
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 of 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.
	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.
35	35
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.
	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.
38	38
39		-== **Feedback items ** ==
	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}}
40	40
41		-//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
42		-With this release, we have ensured that when you navigate to Design -> System message you can see the message format (i.e. XML, JSON or EDI) without entering the "Start Editing" mode.
43		-
44		-//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
45		-Various smaller styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. For a complete list and more details please check out the release notes.

49	49	As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:
