5		-**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.
	5	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done much work to improve the functionality of our state-generation solution so that you can have a better overview of its implementation in your environment. Next to the monitoring for the state generation implementation in your model, several feedback items revolving around user interfacing components in our platform that can improve the user experience are also released. Lastly, some performance improvements and bug fixes have also been implemented.

7		-== **Release Properties** ==
8		-As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. This change intends to solidify the relationship between a release and a property value. Before, in the current generation architecture, timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes on Production. On top of that it was not always clear whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something that was deployed. These considerations let us to change the property management behavior not only on our next-generation architecture but also on our current generation architecture. Having said that, there are several key changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notably among these are:
	7	+{{warning}}State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license.{{/warning}}
9	9
10		-* The current properties tab in Deploy will disappear. The new overview of the properties (and their values) can be found under the "Create phase release" in Deploy -> Releases
11		-* Property placeholders (i.e. the names of properties as given in Create) are now automatically created for you. This to avoid mistakes when filling them in.
12		-* When adding or editing a property you can *now* select multiple runtimes for which the property applies. This is mainly beneficial for those running in a double lane setup or having a distributed landscape of containers.
13		-* A, for most, new concept of a "property release" is introduced. With the help of this functionality you can easily change a property on Production without having to create a completely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.
	9	+== **State Generation - Manage overview~*~*** ==

15		-{{info}}For more information please check out the following microlearnings:
	11	+The following page has been added:
	12	+* State generation statistics: Contains the statistics for state generation implementation in your model. The navigation to this page can be found under Manage->Monitoring page. This page provides you with graphs that explain the retrieve latency, cache size, and successful and failed retrieves, which are coming from flows using state generation components. **Note** that this menu will only show for models that have the add-on license for state generation.

24		-== ** Manage - Next generation graphs improvements ** ==
25		-As of this release, we will create a condensed view of your metrics when zooming out in the Manage phase graphs. This will significantly improve the performance of the manage graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.

29	29	== **Feedback Items** ==
30	30
31		-//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz wihout Edit rights in Create__//
32		-Without having edit rights in the Create phase you could already do a lot on the level of flow tests in eMagiz. However, there were some oversights we missed during the implementation. These have been fixed allowing those without edit rights to now also change the name and description of the test case.
	18	+//__Improved information on removing a release version__//
	19	+Users are now informed with more comprehensive information about why removing a release version that is still active on all environments (i.e., Test, Acceptance, and Production) fails. Users are now informed in which environment(s) and in which runtime(s) that the release version under deletion is still running.
33	33
34		-//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
35		-To improve the audtiability on Deploy Architecture we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e. Fixed IP).
	21	+//__Wider and expandable fields for XPath expressions__//
	22	+Input fields for XPath expressions located in the Create phase are now made wider and also capable of expanding when the expression registered by the user is too long.
36	36
37		-//__Test your own exported work__//
38		-We have now made it possible to test your own exported work to the Store before it gets approved. This will increase the quality of store items we have, and our partners, have on offer within the store.
	24	+//__Old images cleanup mechanism__//
	25	+We implemented a functionality that removes related unused images upon removal of a release version for on-premises machines. This prevents eMagiz from taking resources from the customer’s machine due to the unattended old images.
39	39
40		-{{info}}In case the concept of the store is new for you please check out this [[Fundamental>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-emagiz-store.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
	27	+//__Consistent toggle switches__//
	28	+In this release, we have updated all instances of the toggle switch to have a more consistent performance and look & feel throughout the platform.
41	41
42		-//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
43		-In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
44		-
45		-//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
46		-This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
47		-
	30	+//__Consistent triggers naming__//
	31	+We noticed that Trigger types have a different name throughout the portal. Therefore, in this release, on the Manage - Alerting page, we have renamed the "Source" column to "Source trigger" so that we have a consistent naming.
	32	+
	33	+//__Search phrase__//~*~*
	34	+We are now enabling users to search for log entries and error messages in the next-generation architecture models based on phrases containing two or more words, instead of only one word or the full sentence. This also means that the user can search for entries with distances of 2 or incomplete search phrases (e.g., “startin engine” to look for “starting servlet engine”).
	35	+
	36	+//__Improved image building performance__//
	37	+We have implemented an improvement on the preparation step of the release at the beginning of the deployment, which leads to a faster deployment process.
	38	+
	39	+//__Default "errorChannel" on next-generation architecture migration__//~*~*
	40	+During a migration of a model to the next-generation architecture, we have introduced a check now for flows that did not have custom error handling to set their error channel to "errorChannel" after the migration if the custom error handling is set to false.
	41	+
48	48	== **Bug Fixes** ==
49	49
50		-//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
51		-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.
	44	+//__Incorrect deployed containers__//
	45	+A fix has been implemented to address the issue where older containers were deployed while it was shown that the new ones were deployed. This problem was caused by auto-healing that was triggered during a new deployment.
52	52
53		-//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
54		-We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
	47	+//__Log messages in next-generation architecture models__//
	48	+We have implemented an improvement in our infra components that is intended to reduce the occurrence of log messages failing to be sent in the next-generation architecture models.
55	55
56		-//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
57		-This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
	50	+//__Random stuck in deployment plan execution__//
	51	+We addressed an issue where the execution of the deployment plan would occasionally become stuck or halted unexpectedly.
58	58
59		-//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
60		-This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
