5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on planning the upcoming Q and finishing up features of the last Q. More on that later. On top of that we have several smaller items as a result of our hackathon efforts to present to you.
	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 smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.

7		-== **Announcement - Release Properties** ==
8		-As of the next release (202) we will introduce a completely new way of handling properties for all our clients. In the upcoming weeks we will publish additional information on the process, what changes, and how you best manage your properties as of then within the documentation portal. Should you have any questions in advance please contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
	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, the timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes in Production. On top of that, it could have been clearer whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something deployed. These considerations allow us to change the property management behavior in our next-generation architecture and our current-generation architecture. There are several fundamental changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notable among these are:

10		-== ** Deploy Architecture - Apply To Environment improvements ** ==
11		-As of this release we will show you a list of all change that are about to be changed once you press "Apply to environment" in Deploy Architecture. This will ensure that it becomes clearer for users, especially those working together in teams, what will change when pressing this button.
	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. As a result, you don't have to type them twice when working on an integration.
	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, a 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 an entirely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.
12	12
13		-//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
14		-When executing your deployment plan we will show specific log entries of the info category that indicate that a container (i.e. runtime) has started up correctly. On top of that we show the warnings and errors in this overview.
	15	+{{info}}For more information, please check out the following microlearnings:

16		-{{info}}Note that when the JMS container gets restarted connection errors in the logs are a normal thing to witness so keep your eyes peeled for the startup logging on JMS level to gain confidence in the deployment.{{/info}}

18		-//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
19		-To avoid mismatches between various parts of the infrastructure we have improved the timeout configuration on certain deployment plan steps to reduce the chance that these mismatches occur.
	21	+Should you have any questions in advance, please get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
	22	+{{/info}}
20	20
21		-{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the current-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
	24	+== ** Manage - 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 managed graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.
22	22
23		-//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
24		-To solve a bug for a specific client we changed the logic to show the user info (i.e. first part of the api key) in a specific implementation just as we already do in our standard implementations.

	29	+== **Feedback Items** ==
27	27
28		-//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
29		-This release improves the loading speed with which all the dashboards in Manage are shown to the user. This will enhance the user experience within the Manage phase.
	31	+//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz without Edit rights in Create__//
	32	+Without editing 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 should have noticed during the implementation. These have been fixed, allowing those without edit rights to change the test case's name and description.
30	30
31		-== **Store Improvements** ==
	34	+//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
	35	+To improve the audibility of Deploy Architecture, we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e., Fixed IP).
32	32
33		-//__Importing in Design is improved__//
34		-We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.
	37	+//__Test your own exported store content__//
	38	+We have now allowed testing of your 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 comparison of flows in the releases overview__//
	43	+We have now made it possible to see the differences in the flow versions between the two releases for all three patterns.
	44	+
36	36	== **Bug Fixes** ==
37	37
38		-//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
39		-We have removed a reminder pop-up on a pending cloud template as it was deprecated and could cause issues when using it in communication with other systems.
	47	+//__Improved validation on XPath header enricher__//
	48	+To avoid unexpected behavior when filling in the XPath header enricher component, we have improved the validation on this component.
40	40
41		-//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
42		-When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down further down the flow.
	50	+//__Cancel behavior on flow testing property overview fixed__//
	51	+We have ensured that when you press Cancel when editing a property needed in a flow test, the property placeholder will no longer disappear from the list.
43	43
44		-//__Improved Kafka settings__//
45		-For all flows that use a Kafka related component within the flow designer we will run a migration to update every single one of them to the new best practices and create a new flow version for them.
	53	+//__Cancel behavior on flow fragment level when exporting store content__//
	54	+We have ensured that when you press Cancel when exporting a flow fragment, the flow fragment will no longer disappear from the list.
46	46
47		-{{info}}We strongly encourage all users that use these components to update to these new best practices as they increase stability of the cluster and throughput of the solution{{/info}}
	56	+//__Adding numbers on containers in Deploy Architecture__//
	57	+With this release, we have made the first step in giving a clear overview of how many integrations for a certain runtime (i.e., container) are in your active release.
