5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvement points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. We have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation, improved when specific logging is triggered, and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that, we fixed several bugs surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado, let us look at all these improvements.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving various aspects of our home. Among others we have improved the logging, alerting, and security of our next-generation architecture. On top of that we have improved the inner workings of the store and the certificate management for those of us using the Event Streaming pattern.

7 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
7 +== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
8 8  
9 -//__Better feedback in the 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.
9 +//__Enhanced overview of the HTTP Statistics__//
10 +As of now all resources that have been called atleast once since deploying them will now show up in the left-bottom graph of the HTTP Statistics. This will make it easier to see whether a particular operation was called within a timeframe. On top of that it makes comparing data on various operations easier. In here you can also filter on one (by pressing the + icon) or more by clicking on the filter icon. In case you want to sort the table in a different manner you can click on the name of the column on which you want to sort.
11 11  
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 alerts you receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
12 +//__Reason why runtime cannot start is now in the vast majority of cases reported back__//
13 +In this release, we have improved the way we report failures during startup of runtimes. This will ensure that it becomes much easier to pinpoint what went wrong upon startup.
14 14  
15 -//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 -This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrate your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
15 +{{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}}
17 17  
18 -//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 -When a slot is put into standby mode, we also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models with this functionality. 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.
17 +//__Forced congestion control__//
18 +To reduce the number of repeating mails within a 10 minute window we have now forced congestion control on all alerts generated via the platform.
20 20  
21 -//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 -With this release, we have improved the process through which your deployment action is prepared by eMagiz. As a result, the chances of unexpected behavior occurring in your model are drastically reduced.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 -When migrating your streaming container, we now consider whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination, additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without manual intervention.
21 +//__Improved validation errors on the invalid configuration of HTTP outbound components__//
22 +This release fixes and re-introduces the option to execute your actions on the eMagiz per zone or all at once when running in a double-lane Docker setup.
26 26  
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.
24 +//__Improved migration behavior__//
25 +This release introduces several improvements concerning the migration behavior via "Transfer settings from Design." Among these are:
26 +A smoother migration of your JMS (and backup JMS) process.
27 +Shortening of names that otherwise would be too long, additional feedback given to the user.
28 +Feedback when the migration process is finished.
29 29  
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 help texts to clarify what each chart our table displays to you.
30 +//__Additional checks when deploying__//
31 +This release introduces additional checks when deploying. Among others, we have added a check to prevent you from deploying two flows that use the same resource with differing versions. Not stopping this can cause issues with deployments and even worse with the functional behavior of the flows, as it leads to the situation in which a validation error might trigger on one offramp but not on the other.
32 32  
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.

38 -== **Feedback items ** ==
39 -
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.
42 -
43 -//__User Roles are sorted alphabetically__//
44 -All user roles under User Management are now also sorted alphabetically.
45 -
46 -//__Name of keystore for user management now includes the environment__//
47 -To improve the naming of the downloaded keystore that needs to be distributed to external parties, we have added the name of the environment to the filename. You can distinguish between the various environments by looking at the filename.
48 -
49 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
50 -
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 happening in the cloud.
53 -
54 -//__Ensure users can deploy release on environments they have edit rights on__//
55 -Currently, users with limited rights in Deploy, for example, only edit rights in Test, can now activate and deploy releases ready for other environments but need to be deployed on the environment for which they have the rights to do so.
