5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have done much work for the Deploy phase. On top of that, we have worked on several store functionalities. Next to this, we have several smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
	5	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvements points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. Among others we have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation. Improved when certain logging is triggerd and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that we fixed several bug fixes surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado let us take a look at all these improvements.
6	6
7		-== **Deployment Plan** ==
	7	+== **3rd generation improvements** ==
8	8
9		-//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
10		-The algorithm for genarating a default deployment plan is improved to keep jms downtime and alerting to a minimum. Next to this, the start/stop/restart machine deployment steps are now also executed correctly for aws and on-premises machines.
	9	+//__Better feedback in error log when a corrupt stylesheet is encountered__//
	10	+We have improved the logging within a 3rd generation runtime that identifies the broken resource by name within a container and informs you to navigate to Create -> Resources to see in which flows the resource is used so you can take the appropriate action.
11	11
12		-//__Editing release properties__//
13		-With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
	12	+//__Better internal error handling to avoid unnecessary alerting and notifications__//
	13	+We have improved the internal error handling when sending metrics from the runtime to our monitoring stack. This will gravely reduce the number of alerts you will receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
14	14
15		-//__JMS memory setting check__//
16		-A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
	15	+//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
	16	+This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrated your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
17	17
18		-//__Properties tab__//
19		-We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
	18	+//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
	19	+When a slot is put into standby mode we now also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models that have this functionality activated. The opposite happens when the slot wakeup is triggered. As a result not only the cloud runtimes are started but also all on-premise runtimes.
20	20
21		-//__Cleanup old images__//
22		-When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
	21	+//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
	22	+With this release we have improved the process through which your deploy action is preparated by eMagiz. As a result the chances of unexpected behavior occuring in your model are drastically reduced.
23	23
24		-//__Performance improvements for loading releases__//
25		-Performance improvements have been implemented for loading releases in Deploy. Releases should now load faster than before. All functionality should remain exactly the same as before.
	24	+//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
	25	+When migrating your streaming container we now take into account whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination specific additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without any manual intervention.
26	26
27		-== **Store Improvements** ==
	27	+//__Add History to Notifications in Manage__//
	28	+To improve the auditability of our platform we have introduced an audit trail to the Notification section in Manage for models running on our 3rd generation monitoring stack. This way it is always visible when the notifications were paused and who paused or unpaused the notifications.
28	28
29		-//__Message definition elements order__//
30		-We fixed an issue that the order of message definition elements was changed after being imported.
	30	+//__Improved Manage phase for Event Streaming__//
	31	+Based on the feedback on our first iteration of the Manage phase for Event Streaming we have improved the graphs and the calculations that fill the graphs with values. On top of that we have added helptexts to clarify what each graph our table displays to you.
31	31
32		-//__Improting a store item with synchronous message definitions__//
33		-We fixed an issue that importing a store item with synchronous message definitions went wrong. Now, the imported message definitions should correspond with the exported message definitions.
	33	+//__Improved help text for network volumes__//
	34	+With this release we have improved the help text that explains network volumes and how to use them within our solution.
34	34
35		-//__Importing store itmes containing static copies__//
36		-We fixed an issue that store items were missing static copies. Now, store items with static copies are imported correctly.
	36	+{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesistate 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}}

38		-== **Feedback Items** ==
	38	+== **Feedback items ** ==
39	39
40		-//__Alerting manual pause__//
41		-A few releases ago we changed the behavior of alerting in the deployment plan. Now each time when a deployment plan is executed the alerting will be automatically re-enabled when the deployer closes the deployment plan or closes the web browser. The majority of the users are happy with the new behavior, but there are some use cases that you do not want start the alerting immediately. With this release, if alerting has been paused manually, this will not be activated automatically after a release deployment.
	40	+//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
	41	+With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
42	42
43		-//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
44		-The graphs in Manage are now ordered according to importance. This means that runtime statistics are sorted by "Process CPU usage" (highest first), queue statistics are sorted by "Messages in queue" (highest first), and HTTP statistics are sorted by "Unsuccessful requests" (highest first).
	43	+//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
	44	+When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
45	45
46		-//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
47		-All Grafana panels now show UTC times, which are normally used in eMagiz, instead of local (browser) time zones. This way, it is easier to match graphs with logging events or alerts.
	46	+{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
48	48
49		-//__Update flow designer version__//
50		-The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
	48	+== **Bug fixes ** ==
51	51
52		-//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
53		-A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
	50	+//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
	51	+With this release, we have changed the way we update properties when user management is updated for an API gateway using the API Key security mechanisms. This will prevent the endless loop that could now happen on occasion.
54	54
55		-//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
56		-Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
	53	+{{warning}}Any operation that is incorrectly deleted from Deploy while still end up in the logic and could cause issue so pay attention when removing API Gateway operations.{{/warning}}
57	57
58		-//__Topic sizes description change__//
59		-In the change description (and History) when altering the topic size of a topic the new and old value were switched around creating confusion, this has been resolved.
	55	+//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
	56	+As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
60	60
61		-//__Password change notification__//
62		-When an account password change request is made, even when this fails, a mail is sent to the account owner to inform the owner about the action.
63		-
64		-//__Password comparison__//
65		-When changing a password, it is compared to a list of known database breaches for security. A warning is shown when the password corresponds with a password in the database.
66		-
67		-//__Inactive user alerting__//
68		-Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
69		-
70		-//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
71		-Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
72		-
73		-== **Bug Fixes** ==
74		-
75		-//__Flow designer styling__//
76		-The styling of the flow designer's left component panel has been restructured, solving a rare bug which would break the styling of certain functionalities.
77		-
78		-//__Partial search for messages__//
79		-It is now possible to search on messages partially in Manage Monitoring. For example, search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
80		-
81		-//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
82		-Several accounts showed significantly more disk usage after the last cloud template update, this has been resolved.
