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.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvements points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. Among others we have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation. Improved when certain logging is triggerd and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that we fixed several bug fixes surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado let us take a look at all these improvements.

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:
7 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
9 9  
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.
9 +//__Better feedback in 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.

15 -{{info}}For more information, please check out the following microlearnings:
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 number of alerts you will receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.

15 +//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 +This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrated your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
20 20  
21 -Should you have any questions in advance, please get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
22 -{{/info}}
18 +//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 +When a slot is put into standby mode we now also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models that have this functionality activated. 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.
23 23  
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.
21 +//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 +With this release we have improved the process through which your deploy action is preparated by eMagiz. As a result the chances of unexpected behavior occuring in your model are drastically reduced.
26 26  
27 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@202-release-blog--manage-graphs-zoomed-out.png]]
24 +//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 +When migrating your streaming container we now take into account whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination specific additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without any manual intervention.
28 28  
29 -== **Feedback Items** ==
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.
30 30  
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 +//__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 helptexts to clarify what each graph our table displays to you.
33 33  
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).
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.
36 36  
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.
36 +{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesistate 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}}

38 +== **Feedback items ** ==
41 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.
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.
44 44  
45 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
43 +//__User Roles are sorted alphabetically__//
44 +All user roles under User Management are now also sorted alphabetically.
46 46  
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.
46 +//__Name of keystore for user management now includes the environment__//
47 +To improve the naming of downloaded keystore that need to be distributed to external parties we have added the name of the environment to the filename. This way you can make a distinction between the various environments by looking at the filename.
49 49  
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.
49 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
52 52  
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.
51 +//__Consolidated upgrade process cloud template__//
52 +With this release, we have removed some specific update options that could cause mismatches between what was visually displayed and what was actually happening in the cloud.
55 55  
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.
54 +//__Ensure users can deploy release on environments they have edit rights on__//
55 +As of now users with only limited rights in Deploy, for example, only edit rights in Test can now activate and deploy releases that are ready for other environments but need to be deployed on the environment for which they have the rights to do so.
