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 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.
6 6  
7 -== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
7 +== **Deployment Plan** ==
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.
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.
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.
12 +//__Editing release properties__//
13 +With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
14 14  
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}}
15 +//__JMS memory setting check__//
16 +A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
16 16  
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.
18 +//__Properties tab__//
19 +We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
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.
21 +//__Cleanup old images__//
22 +When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
22 22  
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.
26 +
23 23  == **Store Improvements** ==
28 +
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.
30 +== **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.
32 +//__Alerting manual pause__//
33 +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.
30 30  
31 -== **Event Streaming - Certificate Management** ==
35 +//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
36 +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).
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]].
38 +//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
39 +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.
35 35  
41 +//__Update flow designer version__//
42 +The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
43 +
44 +//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
45 +A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
46 +
47 +//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
48 +Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
49 +
50 +//__Topic sizes description change__//
51 +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.
52 +
53 +//__Password change notification__//
54 +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.
55 +
56 +//__Password comparison__//
57 +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.
58 +
59 +
60 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
61 +
62 +//__Flow designer styling__//
63 +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.
64 +
36 36  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
37 37  
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:
