5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving various aspects of our home. Among others we have improved the logging, alerting, and security of our next-generation architecture. On top of that we have improved the inner workings of the store and the certificate management for those of us using the Event Streaming pattern.
	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		-== **Next 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		-//__Enhanced overview of the HTTP Statistics__//
10		-As of now all resources that have been called atleast once since deploying them will now show up in the left-bottom graph of the HTTP Statistics. This will make it easier to see whether a particular operation was called within a timeframe. On top of that it makes comparing data on various operations easier. In here you can also filter on one (by pressing the + icon) or more by clicking on the filter icon. In case you want to sort the table in a different manner you can click on the name of the column on which you want to sort.
	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.
11	11
12		-//__Reason why runtime cannot start is now in the vast majority of cases reported back__//
13		-In this release, we have improved the way we report failures during startup of runtimes. This will ensure that it becomes much easier to pinpoint what went wrong upon startup.
	15	+{{info}}For more information please check out the following microlearnings:

15		-{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the next-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}

17		-//__Forced congestion control__//
18		-To reduce the number of repeating mails within a 10 minute window we have now forced congestion control on all alerts generated via the platform.
	21	+Should you have any questions in advance, please get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
	22	+{{/info}}
19	19
20		-//__Unused images are cleaned up__//
21		-This release improves the way in which images are kept. To avoid a lot of old and unused images on our systems and our systems we now (on default) cleanup old images that are not used anymore. Should you wish to keep the images and manually remove them on your own server you can deactivate this behavior per "Deploy machine" step in your deployment plan.
	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		-== **Store Improvements** ==
	27	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@202-release-blog--manage-graphs-zoomed-out.png]]
24	24
25		-//__Improved importing behavior for specific use cases__//
26		-Before, it could happen that a certain placeholder that contained an asterisk were imported incorrectly. This has now been fixed to ensure that the correct import behavior is experienced by our users.
	29	+== **Feedback Items** ==
27	27
28		-//__Fixed bug in creating a message mapping on top of an imported system message__//
29		-It is now possbile to create a message mapping to an imported system message from the store.
	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		-== **Event Streaming - Certificate Management** ==
	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		-//__Expired certification notification__//
34		-As of now we have functionality in place that will inform you (and us) when a client certificate of an Event Streaming user is going to expire within the upcoming three months. This way you can take action early on and report back that the update was succesfull so we can revoke the expiring client certificate accordingly. If you want specific information on this please reach out to us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
	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
	40	+{{info}}In case the concept of the store is new for you please check out this [[Fundamental>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-emagiz-store.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
	41	+
	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.

38	38	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:
