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.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have processed additional feedback on the release properties in the last few weeks. On top of that, we have improved the error handling and manageability of our new generation monitoring stack.

7 -== **Deployment Plan** ==
8 -
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 -
12 -//__Editing release properties__//
13 -With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
14 -
15 -//__JMS memory setting check__//
16 -A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
17 -
18 -//__Properties tab__//
19 -We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
20 -
21 -//__Cleanup old images__//
22 -When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
23 -
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 -
27 -== **Store Improvements** ==
28 -
29 -//__Message definition elements order__//
30 -We fixed an issue that the order of message definition elements was changed after being imported.
31 -
32 -//__Improting a store item with synchronous message definitions__//
33 -We fixed an issue that importing a store item with synchronous message definitions went wrong. Now, the imported message definitions should correspond with the exported message definitions.
34 -
35 -//__Importing store items containing static copies__//
36 -We fixed an issue that store items were missing static copies. Now, store items with static copies are imported correctly.
37 -
38 38  == **Feedback Items** ==
39 39  
40 -//__Alerting manual pause__//
41 -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.
9 +//__Improved check on nested property placeholders__//
10 +To avoid problems when using nested property placeholders in your configuration, we have added additional checks to identify these nested properties as missing if they are indeed missing.
42 42  
43 -//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
44 -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).
12 +//__Removed outdated properties when deploying on the new generation architecture stack__//
13 +We have removed two specific outdated properties from the configuration when deploying on the new generation architecture stack. The properties in question were necessary before in order to connect to a Kafka cluster but have become obsolete once you migrate.
45 45  
46 -//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
47 -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.
15 +{{warning}}Should you still use the properties called "emagiz.runtime.name" and "emagiz.runtime.environment" **after** successfully migrating the flow in question to the next generation, please get in touch with us before deploying.{{/warning}}
48 48  
49 -//__Update flow designer version__//
50 -The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
17 +//__Improved performance Manage Dashboards__//
18 +We have improved the efficiency of retrieving the data shown in the Manage Dashboards for the next-generation architecture.
51 51  
52 -//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
53 -A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
54 -
55 -//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
56 -Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
57 -
58 -//__Topic sizes description change__//
59 -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.
60 -
61 -//__Password change notification__//
62 -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.
63 -
64 -//__Password comparison__//
65 -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.
66 -
67 -//__Inactive user alerting__//
68 -Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
69 -
70 -//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
71 -Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
72 -
73 73  == **Bug Fixes** ==
74 74  
75 -//__Flow designer styling__//
76 -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.
22 +//__Errors with long stack traces or long message histories will now also show in eMagiz__//
23 +We have fixed a bug that could cause an error message to be lost between the flow and the Manage phase of eMagiz. This happened in situations where either the stack trace or the message history was very long. To ensure this new functionality is applied to your flows, create a new release and deploy it to your environment(s).
77 77  
78 -//__Partial search for messages__//
79 -It is now possible to search on messages partially in Manage Monitoring. For example, search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
25 +//__Moving runtimes from on-premise to the cloud will not result in a broken container anymore__//
26 +We have fixed a bug that caused specific runtimes to deploy on-premises but later migrated to the cloud, not to start up. By fixing this bug, you have more flexibility in moving containers around when running in a hybrid configuration.
80 80  
81 -//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
82 -In the last cloud template update there was an issue with disk performance. This has been resolved in this release. You can manually upgrade your cloud template, or rely on automatic updates.
