5 -**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.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on a lot of things that are unfortanetly not quite ready to be released. As a result the ouput of this release is limited. Having said that we still bring some key improvements in the Deploy and Manage phase that would make life much easier.

7 -== **State Generation** ==
7 +== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
8 8  
9 -//__New components__//
10 -The following components have been added:
11 -* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
12 -* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
13 -* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
14 -* 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.
15 -* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
9 +//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
10 +When executing your deployment plan we will show specific log entries of the info category that indicate that a container (i.e. runtime) has started up correctly. On top of that we show the warnings and errors in this overview.
16 16  
17 -//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
18 -Added SpEL functions for:
19 -* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
20 -* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
21 -* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
12 +{{info}}Note that when the JMS container gets restarted connection errors in the logs are a normal thing to witness so keep your eyes peeled for the startup logging on JMS level to gain confidence in the deployment.{{/info}}
22 22  
23 -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`.
14 +//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
15 +To avoid mismatches between various parts of the infrastructure we have improved the timeout configuration on certain deployment plan steps to reduce the chance that these mismatches occur.
24 24  
25 -Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.
17 +{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the current-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
26 26  
27 -//__New image version 2.0.0__//
28 -The above functionalities are features of the new image version 2.0.0. Important to note is that the library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Changed the library used for Code Mappings. Any customer with Gen3 runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0.
19 +//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
20 +To solve a bug for a specific client we changed the logic to show the user info (i.e. first part of the api key) in a specific implementation just as we already do in our standard implementations.
29 29  
30 -//__Component pages__//
31 -Pages to add the new components have been created. Forms have been created nicely with proper help texts. The EHCache cache manager has been removed.
22 +{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the next-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
32 32  
33 -== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
34 -We will change the retention of monitoring data of different environments. For minute level data, it will be kept for test, acceptance and production environments for 5, 7 and 30 days respectively. Then the minute level data will be reduced to hour level data then will be stored for test, acceptance and production for 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.
24 +//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
25 +This release improves the loading speed with which all the dashboards in Manage are shown to the user. This will enhance the user experience within the Manage phase.

27 +== **Store Improvements** ==
37 37  
38 -== **Feedback Items** ==
29 +//__Importing in Design is improved__//
30 +We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.
39 39  
40 -//__Import from store__//
41 -The button 'Import from Store' in Design will directly open the store instead of showing a pop asking whether the store should be opened.
32 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
42 42  
43 -//__Save and cancel buttons placement__//
44 -The save and cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
34 +//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
35 +We have removed a reminder pop-up on a pending cloud template as it was deprecated and could cause issues when using it in communication with other systems.
45 45  
46 -//__User session times__//
47 -The user session times for 3rd generation runtime dashboards have been extended, so that the user is not thrown out of the model when using the Manage phase for longer than an hour.
37 +//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
38 +When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down furhter down the flow.
48 48  
49 -//__Cancel and next buttons order//
50 -The order of the cancel and next buttons when creating a new trigger has been changed to increase alignment across the platform. Now, all cancel buttons are placed on the right of a 'next' or 'save' button.
51 -
40 +//__Improved Kafka settings_//
41 +For all flows that use a Kafka related component within the flow designer we will run a migration to update every single one of them to the new best practices and create a new flow version for them.
52 52  
53 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
54 -//__Topic and event-processor names__//
55 -The styling of the event streaming canvas in the Create and Deploy phases has been altered slightly to make topic and event-processor names more readable.
43 +{{info}}We stronly encourage all users that use these components to update to these new best practices as they increase stability of the cluster and throughput of the solution{{/info}}
56 56  
57 -//__System alignment__//
58 -The positioning of Systems across Design, Create and Deploy phases are now synchronized to the position of their respective System in the Capture phase. So, systems are aligned regarding positioning across all phases.
