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 worked around the clock to release various improvement points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. We have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation, improved when specific logging is triggered, and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that, we fixed several bugs surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado, let us look at all these improvements.

7 -== **3rd generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
7 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
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.
9 +//__Better feedback in the 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 -{{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}}
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 alerts you receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
13 13  
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.
15 +//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 +This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrate your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
16 16  
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.
18 +//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 +When a slot is put into standby mode, we also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models with this functionality. 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.
19 19  
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.
21 +//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 +With this release, we have improved the process through which your deployment action is prepared by eMagiz. As a result, the chances of unexpected behavior occurring in your model are drastically reduced.
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.
24 +//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 +When migrating your streaming container, we now consider whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination, additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without manual intervention.
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.
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 -{{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}}
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 help texts to clarify what each chart our table displays to you.
30 30  
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.
35 +
36 +{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesitate 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}}

31 31  == **Feedback items ** ==
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.
40 +//__Generation of security logic API Gateway in case of API Key as security method is improved__//
41 +With this release, we have improved the generation of security logic within the Create phase related to API Gateways that use the API Key method as their security mechanism.
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.
43 +//__User Roles are sorted alphabetically__//
44 +All user roles under User Management are now also sorted alphabetically.
38 38  
46 +//__Name of keystore for user management now includes the environment__//
47 +To improve the naming of the downloaded keystore that needs to be distributed to external parties, we have added the name of the environment to the filename. You can distinguish between the various environments by looking at the filename.
48 +
49 +//__Improved Topic calculations in Design Architecture__//
50 +Following our earlier improvements on the best practice configuration of topics we have now additionally updated the calculations on "Topic Storage" level to ensure that the configuration of a user is related to the total Assigned Size on "Topic Storage" level.
51 +
52 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
53 +
54 +//__Consolidated upgrade process cloud template__//
55 +With this release, we have removed some specific update options that could cause mismatches between what was visually displayed and what was happening in the cloud.
56 +
57 +//__Ensure users can deploy release on environments they have edit rights on__//
58 +Currently, users with limited rights in Deploy, for example, only edit rights in Test, can now activate and deploy releases ready for other environments but need to be deployed on the environment for which they have the rights to do so.
