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!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.

	7	+== **State Generation** ==
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	+//__New components__//
	10	+The following components have been added:
	11	+* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
	12	+* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
	13	+* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
	14	+* Duplicate detector: support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
	15	+* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
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.
	17	+//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
	18	+Added SpEL functions for:
	19	+* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
	20	+* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
	21	+* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
12	12
13		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-pop-up.png]]
	23	+Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
14	14
15		-Once confirmed you will see that the user interface now indicates that the endpoint is in "live" mode.
	25	+Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.

	27	+//__New image version 2.0.0__//
	28	+The above functionalities are features of the new image version 2.0.0. Important to note is that the library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Changed the library used for Code Mappings. Any customer with Gen3 runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0.
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}}
	30	+//__Component pages__//
	31	+Pages to add the new components have been created. Forms have been created nicely with proper help texts. The EHCache cache manager has been removed.
22	22
23		-== **3rd generation improvements** ==
	33	+== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
	34	+Manage - Monitoring: We will change the retention of monitoring data of different environments. For minute level data, it will be kept for test, acceptance and production environments for 5, 7 and 30 days respectively. Then the minute level data will be reduced to hour level data then will be stored for test, acceptance and production for 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.
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.
	36	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-207-aligned-state-metrics-storage.png]]
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.
	38	+== **Feedback Items** ==
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.
	40	+//__Import from store__//
	41	+Design - Message Mapping: The button 'Import from Store' will directly open the store instead of showing a pop asking whether the store should be opened.
33	33
34		-== **Feedback items ** ==
	43	+//__Save and cancel buttons__//
	44	+The Save and Cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
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.
	46	+//__User session times__//
	47	+Manage - Monitoring: The user session times for 3rd generation runtime dashboards have been extended, so that the user is not thrown out of the model when using the Manage phase for longer than an hour.
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.
	49	+
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.
	51	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
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	47
48		-== **Bug fixes ** ==
49	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.
