--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.
++**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.
--== **State Generation** ==
++== **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.
--//__New components__//
--The following components have been added:
--* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
--* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: Used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
--* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
--* Duplicate detector: Support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
--* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
++{{info}}For more information please check out the following microlearnings:
--//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
--Added SpEL functions for:
--* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac
--* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond)
--* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser)
--* Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
--* Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions

++== ** 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.
--== **Feedback Items** ==
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@201-release-blog--apply-to-environment-example.png]]
--//__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.
++== ** 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.
--//__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).
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@201-release-blog--breadcrumb-navigation-example.png]]
--//__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.
++== **Feedback Items** ==
--//__Update flow designer version__//
--The framework used in the flow designer has been updated, improving performance.
++//__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.
--//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
--A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
++//__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.
--//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
--Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
++//__Additional help texts on Design Architecture__//
++We have improved the help texts in Design Architecture concerning the Event Streaming topic storage overview.
--//__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.
++//__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.
--//__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.
++//__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.
--//__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.
--
--
  == **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.
  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
