5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving the migration towards our next-generation architecture as well as improved the general behavior when running on the next-generation architecture. Furthermore, several improvements have been made to our own infrastructure to ensure that all data flowing via this infrastructure now more and more customers are migrating can be handled as good if not better as before.
5 +**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 additional smaller feedback item coming from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.

7 -== **3rd generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
7 +== **Release Properties** ==
8 +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, timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes on Production. On top of that it was not always clear whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something that was deployed. These considerations let us to change the property management behavior not only on our next-generation architecture but also on our current generation architecture. Having said that, there are several key changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notably among these are:
8 8  
9 -//__"Stop" action when running a hybrid situation is not causing issues anymore__//
10 -Before, it could happen when running a double-lane setup in a hybrid situation (i.e karaf based runtimes on top of the next-generation architecture) that the stop action on said runtime would not stop the runtime but "kill" it. With this release that behavior is changed.
10 +* 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
11 +* Property placeholders (i.e. the names of properties as given in Create) are now automatically created for you. This to avoid mistakes when filling them in.
12 +* 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.
13 +* 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 a completely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.

12 -{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the karaf based runtimes. The impact of this can be read [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-deploy-execute-deployment-plan-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}

14 -//__Removed certain dependencies between Deploy Architecture and Releases__//
15 -In this release, we have removed several specific dependencies that caused confusion between the functionality in the Deploy Architecture overview compared to the functionality that is linked to a release and specifically the deployment of a release.

17 -//__Improved validation errors on invalid configuration of HTTP outbound components__//
18 -This release fixes and 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.
21 +Should you have any questions in advance, please get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].

20 -//__Improved migration behavior__//
21 -This release introduces several improvements with regards to the migration behavior via "Transfer settings from Design". Among these are a smoother migration of your JMS (and backup JMS) process, additional feedback given to the user and feedback when the migration process is finished.
24 +== ** Manage - Next generation graphs improvements ** ==
25 +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 manage graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.
22 22  
23 -//__Improved auto-healing when running in a hybrid situation__//
24 -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.

25 25  
26 -//__Improved rollup and storage of metrics when running your solution in the next generation archticture__//
27 -To improve the stability of the Manage phase and, in particular, the metrics when zooming out on the provided information, we have made some structural changes that support this user functionality better.
29 +== **Feedback Items** ==
28 28  
29 -{{warning}} Due to this change, the platform will remove data collected before the release date in the upcoming weeks. This process will be finished at the beginning of June. From then on, all data before the 12th of May will no longer be visible. As users generally do not look back this far back in time, we consider this an acceptable trade-off. {{/warning}}
31 +//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz wihout Edit rights in Create__//
32 +Without having edit 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 missed during the implementation. These have been fixed allowing those without edit rights to now also change the name and description of the test case.
30 30  
31 -== **Feedback items ** ==
34 +//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
35 +To improve the audtiability on Deploy Architecture we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e. Fixed IP).
32 32  
33 -//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
34 -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.
37 +//__Test your own exported work__//
38 +We have now made it possible to test your own 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.
35 35  
36 -//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
37 -Various minor styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. Please check out the release notes for a complete list and more details.

42 +//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
43 +In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
44 +
45 +//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
46 +This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
47 +
48 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
49 +
50 +//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
51 +To avoid unexpected behavior, we now ensure that nothing can be selected once you see the "deletion" pop-up when you want to remove something in the flow designer.
52 +
53 +//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
54 +We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
55 +
56 +//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
57 +This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
58 +
59 +//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
60 +This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
