--**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.
++**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 additional smaller feedback item coming from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
--== **Release Date Change** ==
--As of release 208, released on November 9th, 2023, we will change our release date to Thursday morning starting at 05:00 AM CET (3:00 UTC). We opted for this change as it allows us to control better and manage our releases to uphold the quality standards you have gotten used to from us. Should you have any questions, please get in touch with [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
++== **Release Properties** ==
++As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. There are several key changes compared to the current way of managing your properties.
--== **Deployment Plan** ==
++{{info}}For more information please check out the following microlearnings:
--//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
--The algorithm for generating a default deployment plan is improved to keep JMS downtime and alerting to a minimum. When stopping a machine, the JMS server is stopped last, and when executing the deployment plan, the JMS server is deployed first. This way, the JMS server is troubled minimally, and all processes are stopped before being deployed again. This provides additional control over the deployment of your release(s) and reduces the likelihood of false-positive logging (and potentially alerting) during and shortly after the deployment.

--//__Editing release properties__//
--With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
++== ** Deploy Architecture - Apply To Environment improvements ** ==
++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.
--//__Container memory settings__//
--A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@201-release-blog--apply-to-environment-example.png]]
--//__Properties tab__//
--We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
++== ** Breadcrumb navigation in eMagiz ** ==
++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.
--//__Cleanup old images__//
--When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@201-release-blog--breadcrumb-navigation-example.png]]
--//__Performance improvements for loading releases__//
--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.
--
--== **Store Improvements** ==
--
--//__Message definition elements order__//
--We fixed an issue that the order of message definition elements was changed after being imported.
--
--//__Importing a store item with synchronous message definitions__//
--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.
--
--//__Importing store items containing static copies__//
--We fixed an issue that store items were missing static copies. Now, store items with static copies are imported correctly.
--
--//__Importing store content__//
--We fixed an issue that blocked you from importing Store content in the Design phase. The message definitions and message mappings are now imported correctly as the original content in the item of the Store.
--
--//__Store disclaimer__//
--Users who are not the model owner no longer see the eMagiz Store disclaimer popup, instead they see a popup containing a message that states that the model owner should accept the disclaimer.
--
  == **Feedback Items** ==
--//__Alerting manual pause__//
--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.
++//__Improved layout of catalog page in Design__//
++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.
--//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
--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).
++//__Improved layout of "Edit integration" pop-up for API Gateway integrations__//
++Currently, the full path of your backend system will be shown when opening the "Edit integration" pop-up on your API Gateway integration.
--//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
--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.
++//__Additional help texts on Design Architecture__//
++We have improved the help texts in Design Architecture concerning the Event Streaming topic storage overview.
--//__Update flow designer version__//
--The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
++//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
++In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
--//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
--A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
++//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
++This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
--//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
--Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
--
--//__Topic sizes description change__//
--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.
--
--//__Password change notification__//
--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.
--
--//__Password comparison__//
--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.
--
--//__Inactive user alerting__//
--Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
--
--//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
--Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
--
--//__SOAP Web services path__//
--Developers with Admin rights are now able to edit the 'SOAP Web services path' in the SSL settings.
--
  == **Bug Fixes** ==
--//__Flow designer styling__//
--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.
++//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
++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.
--//__Partial search for messages__//
--It is now possible to search on messages partially in Manage Monitoring. For example, a search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
++//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
++We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
--//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
--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.
++//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
++This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
--//__Error handling migration__//
--If there is no custom error handling, when migrating to Gen3, the error channel to “errorChannel” is only created for the first inbound in an entry flow. This has been fixed by adding a migration step, where we set the error channel of all inbounds in a flow to “errorChannel” if the custom error handling is set to false.
++//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
++This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
