--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have hit the ground running in this quarter by not only focusing on larger features but also spend a substantial chunk of time on focusing with us all on a lot of smaller feedback items and bugs. All these items will be provided to you with this release. Among these are flow designer improvements, navigation improvements, and consistency improvements. On top of that, we have made our new monitoring stack available to a first set of models. So let us dive into all we have to offer this time!
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvements points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. Among others we have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation. Improved when certain logging is triggerd and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that we fixed several bug fixes surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado let us take a look at all these improvements.
--== **New monitoring stack** ==
++== **3rd generation improvements** ==
--This release will introduce a new monitoring stack that is available for models that run in the new runtime architecture of eMagiz. With the help of this monitoring stack we have redesigned various screens in Manage and restructured our alerting approach. For a sneak preview of what these changes entail please check out the following microlearnings.
++//__Better feedback in error log when a corrupt stylesheet is encountered__//
++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.

--* [[HTTP Statistics>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Advanced Level.Advanced monitoring API Gateway.advanced-monitoring-apigateway-http-statistics.WebHome||target="blank"]]
++//__Better internal error handling to avoid unnecessary alerting and notifications__//
++We have improved the internal error handling when sending metrics from the runtime to our monitoring stack. This will gravely reduce the number of alerts you will receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
--{{info}}Note that the new monitoring stack is only available for models that run the new runtime architecture. Should you wish to become an early adopter please contact us at productmanagement@emagiz.com to discuss the possibilities{{/info}}
++//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
++This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrated your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
--== **Transformation Improvements** ==
++//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
++When a slot is put into standby mode we now also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models that have this functionality activated. 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.
--//__Toggle between Design and Create__//
--This release will introduce a toggle that allows you to quickly navigate between the Create Transformation and the Design Message Mapping. In both Create as Design, a new button is added on the transformation level that allows you to open the transformation in Design (or Create) depending on where you are currently. This should make navigating easier when you make a mistake or forget something in Design.
++//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
++With this release we have improved the process through which your deploy action is preparated by eMagiz. As a result the chances of unexpected behavior occuring in your model are drastically reduced.
--//__Improved Transformation options for booleans__//
--On top of that, we will introduce additional functionality to transform "Boolean to enumeration," "enumeration to Boolean," and" Boolean to Boolean." Just as you are used to for the "enumeration to enumeration" transformation, you can now define a value mapping for each combination mentioned above. See below for an example of how this looks.
++//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
++When migrating your streaming container we now take into account whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination specific additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without any manual intervention.
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@179-release-blog--transformation-options-boolean.png]]
++//__Add History to Notifications in Manage__//
++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.
--== **Feedback items ** ==
++//__Improved Manage phase for Event Streaming__//
++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 helptexts to clarify what each graph our table displays to you.
--Apart from the key updates around functionality, we have also solved other feedback items.
++//__Improved help text for network volumes__//
++With this release we have improved the help text that explains network volumes and how to use them within our solution.
--//__Correctly define the size of a cloud slot when creating it for the first time__//
--Currently, eMagiz will look to Design when creating the cloud slot for the first time. This is to avoid you having to “create” your solution twice, as there were instances where eMagiz would always create the cloud slot with the smallest size available first, even if this were not what you wanted.
--//__Updated infographic Capture__//
--As of now, we have updated the infographic on the Capture phase to incorporate the new look and feel and explain the updated functionality in Capture.
--//__Updated error feedback in Design__//
--Before, you could see a transformation error in Design even though the transformation was not used in your solution (i.e., “data pipeline” functionality). However, when you now define a specific integration as a data pipeline solution, the error will not be shown.
++{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesistate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3.WebHome||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
--//__Improved styling of Topic Storage in Design Architecture__//
--When having a large number of topics in your environment, the topic storage overview in Design Architecture will now be improved as the horizontal scrollbar is gone.
++== **WS-Security on the 3rd generation runtime** ~*~* ==
--//__Improved styling of error feedback on User Management in Deploy__//
--With this release we have improved the styling of the feedback pop-up you get in User management after pressing “Apply to environment” and several updates could not be executed.
++To further improve our offering on the 3rd generation runtime we now also have added the necessary functionality to allow you to call SOAP endpoints while utilizing WS-Security as well as securing your hosted SOAP endpoint through WS-Security protocols. Please make sure to create a new release that will trigger the image creation process which will included this feature when necessary.
--//__Show only the ten latest flow versions when selecting a flow version in a Release__//
--To improve the quality and speed of defining a release, we will show only the latest ten versions of a flow in the release widget, as these ten are most likely to be selected by a user. If you need an older version, you can add it via the “Details” option on the release.
++== **State Generation ~*~* ==
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@179-release-blog--ten-latest-flow-versions-release.png]]
++With this release we introduce our first "State Generation" functionality to our user community. After rigorous internal testing and use we have now made a stride to also make it available to the user community on specific use case. In the following months we will gather feedback on this to further improve and release it in a simpler and more user friendly way to the user community.
--//__Optional Client Secret when using the grant_type Password when calling an OAuth2.0 IDP__//
--Before, you needed to define the Client Secret even for the grant_type Password, where it is not always required. We have corrected this behavior to ensure that this is in line with the OAuth 2.0 specification.
++{{info}}Should you be interested in this functionality or want to learn more please contact us at productmanagement@emagiz.com{{/info}}
--//__Clear API Gateway System message__//
--With this release, we have added the Clear button that you already know from the messaging pattern to the API Gateway system message. This unifies the options between the two patterns in Design on the system message level.
++== **Feedback items ** ==
--//__Additional information in Property History__//
--To improve the usability of the property history page in Deploy, we now also show the runtime on which a particular property is changed. This is particularly useful when changing the same property used on different runtimes.
++//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
++With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
--//__Save Tag when ready__//
--With this release, we have made it explicit that when you want to change the name of a tag, you first need to press the “Save” button before the change is actualized within your model.
++//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
++When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
--//__View deployment step information when having view rights__//
--With this release, we have made it possible to view not only the deployment steps but also the detailed information of each deployment step when you only have view rights on a specific environment.
++{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
--//__Validating external recipients in notification settings__//
--Before pressing save, we will now validate what you entered in the external recipients setting to ensure that what is entered there are valid values.
++== **Bug fixes ** ==
--//__Automatically link enumeration list to attribute__//
--When you create an enumeration list relevant to a particular attribute, eMagiz will now automatically link the two together without you having to do this manually.
++//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
++With this release, we have changed the way we update properties when user management is updated for an API gateway using the API Key security mechanisms. This will prevent the endless loop that could now happen on occasion.
--//__Approve and go to environment__//
--With this release, we will provide you with the option to approve a release to a specific environment and let eMagiz directly take you to that environment.
++{{warning}}Any operation that is incorrectly deleted from Deploy while still end up in the logic and could cause issue so pay attention when removing API Gateway operations.{{/warning}}
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@179-release-blog--approve-and-go-to-environment.png]]
++//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
++As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
--//__Remove irrelevant information on a runtime in Design Architecture__//
--We have removed all irrelevant information for a user when you enter the details view of a runtime in Design Architecture. The information that is still shown is visualized below.
--
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@179-release-blog--container-view.png]]
--
--//__Add question about message redelivery in Capture__//
--When you use the message redelivery functionality, and it is relevant to consider whether it will be helpful when sending data to the system, you will now see an additional question in Capture. This question should trigger a thinking process on handling message redelivery for that specific solution.
--
--//__Prevent pressing “Apply to environment” multiple times leading to conflicts__//
--With this release, we have improved this functionality to verify whether an update is currently being executed. If this is true, all other times, you push the button; you will be notified that the process is still running. This is done to avoid potential conflicts if a user presses the "Apply to environment" button more than once in a short period.
--
--//__Add “State” to the topic details in Deploy Architecture__//
--Based on your feedback, we have improved the topic details overview to include the “State” of a topic. Each topic can be “Unchanged,” “Changed,” “Deleted,” or “New.” Based on this state, you can determine which topics will be added, changed, deleted, or remain untouched.
--
--//__Improved stability of logging on the Gen3 Architecture__//
--With this release, we have improved the stability of the logging and made sure that the logging is correctly compacted internally.
--
--== **Bug Fixes** ==
--
--//__Various updates when importing store items in Design including a transformation__//
--With this release, we have made several improvements for importing store items in Design, including a transformation. This will further bolster our offering on this.
--
--//__Opening flow testing widget in specific circumstances was not working__//
--With this release, we fixed an issue where you could not open the flow testing functionality in the Create phase when your flow contained a particular construction combined with the “nullChannel.”
--
--//__Improved styling when adding a large message to a flow test__//
--With this release, the styling of the pop-up will not change when you define a large message as input (or expected output) of your flow test. This will ensure that you can still easily specify the flow test message’s name and description after entering the large message.
--
--//__Errors on the UI do not keep following me__//
--Before, we had some issues: when you navigated away from the API Gateway statistics page, an error pop-up would keep following you throughout the platform. To resolve this issue, you needed to refresh the browser. We have fixed this issue permanently with this release, making the refresh obsolete.
--
--//__Navigating back to the transformation in Create works again__//
--With this release, we have squashed a bug that annoyed users. Before, it could happen that when you navigated away from the transformation page in your flow in Create and returned later, the transformation was not shown anymore. With this release, we have made sure that regardless of where you come from, the transformation will be visible for you to see.
--
--//__Remove the qualified name when editing a non-legacy Mendix entry in eMagiz__//
--With this release, we have removed the possibility of changing the obsolete qualified name when editing a non-legacy Mendix entry in eMagiz.
--
--//__Selecting tags when drawing a line in Capture__//
--We have now made this possible (again). This way, you can directly select the tag(s) you want instead of opening the detailed information on the line after it is already added to Capture.
--
--//__Remove invalid selection when configuring a cron trigger via the tooling__//
--With this release, we have removed invalid selection options presented to you when you used the configuration option on a property of type cron to let eMagiz define the cron trigger value. This is to avoid unwanted surprises when deploying your solution.
