5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks we worked hard on building several major things that will be released later this Q. On top of that we finished an additional features for our 3rd generation runtime that give you chirurgical precision when doing maintenance on a model. Among the additional features we have a new event streaming graph and some updates to our platform in general.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release is characterized mainly by our efforts to bolster our 3rd generation runtime and all the interactions with it. Furthermore, some small bug fixes and beta features will be released to the community.

7 -== **Start/Stop Flows** ~*~* ==
7 +== **Store - Next phase** ==
8 8  
9 -{{warning}}Note that depending on the alert this functionality will only work when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
9 +This release will introduce the next phase of the Store to our whole community. With this new functionality, you can import data model messages (i.e., CDM, API Gateway Data model, or Event Streaming data model) and transformations. Connecting to standardized systems such as Exact Online, Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, and others will become even more accessible.
10 10  
11 -To enhance the options you have when running into problems or when maintaining your solution in a Production environment, we have added a new feature to our Deploy phase called "Start/Stop Flows". You can access this functionality via the "Deploy Architecture" overview in Deploy. On runtime level you can open the context menu and select the option called "Start/Stop Flows".

13 +{{info}}For more information on the Store please check out this [[course>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]]. As a reminder, you can find all documentation on all available Store content published by eMagiz [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]].{{/info}}
14 14  
15 -After selecting the option eMagiz will open a pop-up in which you can stop and start the starting point of each flow that is deployed on that runtime. The effect of this is that no new messages will be processed by the flow but all remaining messages will still be processed by the flow after stopping the flow. To stop a flow you simply select a flow and press the Stop button. To start it again press Start.
15 +== **New eMagiz Mendix Connector** ==
16 16  
17 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--start-stop-flows-pop-up-menu.png]]
17 +This release introduces a new version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. This version (6.0.0) will work with the current runtime architecture and the new runtime architecture making the migration from the existing runtime architecture to the new runtime architecture easier. The latest version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector can be found in the Mendix Marketplace and the eMagiz portal.
18 18  
19 -{{info}}Only in "Start Editing" mode you can actually start and stop specific flows{{/info}}
19 +{{info}}Migrating the runtime from the eMagiz portal works the same as for any other runtime. The migration path can be found [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-emagiz-runtime-generation-3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}

21 -== **Manage overview Event Streaming** ~*~* ==
21 +== **Flow version restore** ~* ==
22 22  
23 -To enhance the observability of your event streaming solution while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture, we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called "Event streaing statistics." You can access this functionality via the "Monitoring" menu in Manage. Then, by clicking on the "Event streaing statistics" overview, you can see metadata information on all your topics. Among others you can see whether data is consumed, on which topic a lot of data is produced, and whether consumers are lagging in consuming data.
23 +On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to restore your flow to a previous version. This way, you can quickly undo changes made that were incorrect.

27 +{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when restoring to a previous version:
28 + * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
29 + * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022

31 + * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/warning}}

27 27  == **Feedback items ** ==
28 28  
29 29  We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
30 30  
31 -//__Topic configuration calculation__//
32 -With this release we have simplified the configuration of settings on topic level to enforce certain best practices within the portal and at the same time make it easier to configure topics.
37 +//__Improved help texts Kafka component__//
38 +The help texts on various configuration options and the general help text on multiple Kafka components have been updated to clarify how they work and how you ought to configure them to achieve the best possible result when sending and receiving messages to and from topics within eMagiz.
33 33  
34 -//__Make preparation step in deployment plan visible__//
35 -For a deployment on the 3rd generation runtime to work some preparation work needs to be done by the portal. We have now made this step explicit and part of the deployment plan.
40 +//__Improved warning message when Message redelivery cannot be adequately executed__//
41 +We have improved the warning you get when you cannot retrieve the messages waiting to be redelivered. This helps clarify what is going wrong when a user sees this warning.
36 36  
37 -{{warning}}Make sure to update your deployment plan accordingly to ensure that the preparation step is not forgotten{{/warning}}
43 +//__See Flow Designer errors on the Create overview__//
44 +To improve our offering surrounding the new Flow Designer functionality, we now show on the Create overview which of the flows you still have alerts due to a misconfiguration of the flow. This will help to identify ongoing work much more manageable.
38 38  
39 -//__3rd generation runtime debugger feedback__//
40 -We have improved the user experience of the 3rd generation runtime debugger with this release by solving various feedback items we noticed in the first adoptions of the functionality.
46 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--alert-visualized-in-create-overview.png]]
41 41  
42 -//__No "Shift key" needed anymore to select multiple items in the flow designer__//
43 -As of now you do not have to hold your "Shift key" when you want to select multiple items in the flow designer. This will make it easier to select parts of flows.
48 +{{info}}Note that you need to open flows that are currently triggering alerts to show the alert on the Create overview{{/info}}
44 44  
45 -//__User Management synchronization now happens in one step__//
46 -With this release we have updated the synchronization process between Design and Deploy with regards to User Management. From now on, when you press the "Transfer from design" button both Users and Roles will be synchronized.
50 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
47 47  
52 +//__Update Swagger File when changing the order of entities in gateway message__//
53 +In our previous release, we improved how the Swagger file is generated when changing the order of attributes of your gateway message. To make this functionality work for entities, we have made several additional changes to the platform supporting this.

48 48  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
49 49
