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 previous 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 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 get in touch with 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 changes about to be changed once you press "Apply to the environment" in Deploy Architecture. This will make it clearer for users, especially those working 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.

15 -== ** Breadcrumb navigation in eMagiz ** ==
16 -This release introduces the "breadcrumb" navigation in certain parts of eMagiz. This will mostly be noticed and impact the Create phase when you check out your transformation or system message on the flow level. Apart from there, the navigation is implemented consistently across the portal for a unified look and feel.

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 managed graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.

20 20  == **Feedback Items** ==
21 21  
22 -//__Improved layout of catalog page in Design__//
23 -We have improved the layout of the API Catalog overview in Design for our API Gateway users. Among others, we have introduced a scrollbar to get a better overview of several operations.
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.
24 24  
25 -//__Improved layout of "Edit integration" pop-up for API Gateway integrations__//
26 -Currently, the full path of your backend system will be shown when opening the "Edit integration" pop-up on your API Gateway integration.
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).
27 27  
28 -//__Additional help texts on Design Architecture__//
29 -We have improved the help texts in Design Architecture concerning the Event Streaming topic storage overview.
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.
30 30  
31 -//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
32 -In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.

34 -//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
35 -This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
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.
36 36  
37 37  == **Bug Fixes** ==
38 38  
39 -//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
40 -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.
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.
41 41  
42 -//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
43 -We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
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.
44 44  
45 -//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
46 -This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
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.
47 47  
48 -//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
49 -This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
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.
