6		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have crossed our t's and dotted our i's on the release properties functionality that will impact the day-to-day life of every user working within the platform. The focus of the release blog will consequently also be on this subject. On top of that, we have several smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
	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.

10		-As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. This change intends to solidify the relationship between a release and a property value. Before, in the current generation architecture, the timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes in Production. On top of that, it could have been clearer whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something deployed. These considerations allow us to change the property management behavior in our next-generation architecture and our current-generation architecture. There are several fundamental changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notable among these are:
	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.
11	11
12		-* The current properties tab in Deploy will disappear. The new overview of the properties (and their values) can be found under the "Create phase release" in Deploy -> Releases
13		-* Property placeholders (i.e., the names of properties as given in Create) are now automatically created for you. As a result, you don't have to type them twice when working on an integration.
14		-* When adding or editing a property, you can **now** select multiple runtimes for which the property applies. This is mainly beneficial for those running in a double-lane setup or having a distributed landscape of containers.
15		-* A, for most, new concept of a "property release" is introduced. With the help of this functionality, you can easily change a property on Production without having to create an entirely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.
	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.

	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}}

29		-As of this release, we will create a condensed view of your metrics when zooming out in the Manage phase graphs. This will significantly improve the performance of the managed graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.

	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.
32	32
33		-== **Feedback Items** ==
	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.
34	34
35		-//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz without Edit rights in Create__//
36		-Without editing rights in the Create phase, you could already do a lot on the level of flow tests in eMagiz. However, there were some oversights we should have noticed during the implementation. These have been fixed, allowing those without edit rights to change the test case's name and description.
	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.
37	37
38		-//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
39		-To improve the audibility of Deploy Architecture, we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e., Fixed IP).
	34	+== **Feedback items ** ==
40	40
41		-//__Test your own exported store content__//
42		-We have now allowed testing of your exported work to the store before it gets approved. This will increase the quality of store items we have, and our partners have on offer within the store.
	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.

46		-{{/info}}
	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.
47	47
48		-//__Improved comparison of flows in the releases overview__//
49		-We have now made it possible to see the differences in the flow versions between the two releases for all three patterns.
	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.
50	50
51		-== **Bug Fixes** ==
	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.
52	52
53		-//__Improved validation on XPath header enricher__//
54		-To avoid unexpected behavior when filling in the XPath header enricher component, we have improved the validation on this component.
	48	+== **Bug fixes ** ==
55	55
56		-//__Cancel behavior on flow testing property overview fixed__//
57		-We have ensured that when you press Cancel when editing a property needed in a flow test, the property placeholder will no longer disappear from the list.
	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.
58	58
59		-//__Cancel behavior on flow fragment level when exporting store content__//
60		-We have ensured that when you press Cancel when exporting a flow fragment, the flow fragment will no longer disappear from the list.
	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.
61	61
62		-//__Adding numbers on containers in Deploy Architecture__//
63		-With this release, we have made the first step in giving a clear overview of how many integrations for a certain runtime (i.e., container) are in your active release.
	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.

67	67	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:
