5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have focused on wrapping up the previous quarter and starting the new one. When this happens, we go silent for a few weeks to plan for the upcoming quarter during our PI rituals. This time we added the famous "Hackathon" to the end of the PI week so we could start the Easter break with excellent spirit after solving several smaller feedback items and bugs reported by you. Several of those stories will be included in this and the upcoming release. On top of that, we introduce various improvements to our API Gateway pattern and our 3rd generation runtime architecture. Subsequently, we will release a new runtime image supporting the multiple improvements.
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 smalller fixes and beta features will be released to the community.

7 -== **Release properties** ==**
7 +== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
8 8  
9 -With this release we bring an improved version of the release properties functionality. With the introduction of the 3rd generation runtime the way properties can be updated and when they need to be available for the solution to start up has changed compared to the current runtime architecture. More on that can be found [[here>>Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target= "blank"]].
9 +This release will introduce various improvements for our 3rd generation runtime. Below you will find the most noteworthy improvements we made to the 3rd generation runtime and the interaction with it.
10 10  
11 -As of now you can not only view all property values related to a specific release by pressing the wrench icon. You can also create what we call a "property release" on each of the three environment that allows you to quickly change one or more property values and deploy the changes to your environment. When deploying such a release eMagiz will check on which runtimes the properties are used and only execute the deploy actions for the machines to which said runtime(s) belong(s).
11 +//__Migration of JMS backup configuration improved__//
12 12  
13 -{{info}}The following considerations need to be taken into account when using this functionality:
14 -* This functionality works from the moment one runtime is running on the 3rd generation runtime architecture
15 -* This functionality can only change property values. Functional changes need a seperate release that needs to be promoted
16 -* In comparison to standard releases a property release can be created on each environment (as the property value is linked to a specific environment).
17 -*{{/info}}
13 +//__Prechecks on Upgrade option made available for 3rd generation runtime__//
18 18  
19 -== **API improvements** ==
15 +//__Autogenerated exits can be deployed at once__//
20 20  
21 -//__Improved auto-generated error handling__//
22 -When you create a new operation in your API gateway, eMagiz will now automatically generate the correct schemas, HTTP codes, and examples for this operation based on industry standards.
17 +//__Code mapping functionality available on 3rd generation runtime__//
23 23  
24 -//__Switch default message format__//
25 -We have improved the logic when you switch the message format of your gateway message from XML to JSON or vice versa. As a result, the Swagger file will be changed accordingly. Once you update the relevant flow in Create and deploy the solution, the Swagger UI will automatically match the expected result.
19 +//__Improved the performance of deploying or activating a release__//
26 26  
27 -//__Re-using elements in gateway message__//
28 -This release improves how the examples and schemas in Swagger and the Flow Testing functionality are generated when certain elements repeatedly appear in different places within one specific gateway message.
21 +//__Failing runtimes won't be restarted indefinetly anymore__//
29 29  
30 -//__Improved naming of API operations when adding integrations to Create__//
31 -Previously when you added API operations to the Create phase, the HTTP operation (i.e., POST, PUT, GET) was not visible to a user. As a result, it became tough for a user to discern between specific operations once multiple of them were used on one resource (i.e., Order, Invoice, Lead). To clarify this for the user, the display name defined in Design (instead of Capture) is now used within this overview for these operations.
23 +== **Exportable Release Audit** ~* ==
32 32  
33 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
25 +On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to export an audit document of your (Production) release.
34 34  
35 -//__Update of the static alerting engine__//
36 -In this release, we have updated the static alerting engine that determines when one of the static alerts, as defined by eMagiz, should be triggered (or not). This change will improve the performance of the solution and will ensure that the alerts are activated correctly.
27 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--flow-version-restore.png]]
37 37  
38 -//__Add "Data pipeline" functionality__//
39 -This release introduces the "data pipeline" functionality to the 3rd generation runtime. This removes another blockage for models waiting on this before migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
29 +{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when exporting an audit document:
30 + * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
31 + * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
32 + * You will **not** be able to restore your flow to the original version created by eMagiz. You can use the reset function if you want this state back
33 + * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/warning}}
40 40  
41 -//__Fix related to the debugger__//
42 -This release introduces a fix that allows users to debug a flow once the toggle "Send error messages to eMagiz" is activated.
43 -
44 -{{warning}}To make use of this bug fix, you need to be on the latest runtime image{{/warning}}
45 -
46 -//__Improved migration process__//
47 -This release introduced a fix that allows a user to migrate event processors with custom error handling without manual intervention.
48 -
49 -//__Deployment plan change__//
50 -In this release, the prepare release step will not start automatically anymore. This prevents the user from waiting for this action to be finished before they can continue deploying the solution to their environment.
51 -
52 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesitate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}

54 54  == **Feedback items ** ==
55 55  
56 -//__License Tracker improvements__//
57 -With this release, we have added several new features available to purchase. On top of that, additional information on the license, such as adding notes and seeing the data sink packets, is now available.
37 +We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
58 58  
59 -//__Ability to view the message definition for a topic__//
60 -Currently, you can easily navigate to the message definition of a topic via the context menu in Design, even if there is no event processor linked to the topic.
39 +//__Data Sink Refactor__//
40 +We have made some infrastructural changes to how data sink messages are stored and can be retrieved from the portal. Should there be changes needed on your end we will contact your seperately.
61 61  
62 -//__Restricted access for uploading custom certificates to endpoints__//
63 -To improve our cloud offerings' general security and prevent users from uploading the wrong certificates, we have now restricted access to this view to ensure that only the administrator can execute this change. This allows for a discussion between the team implementing the solution and eMagiz before actions are taken.
42 +//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
43 +We have improved various display names to ensure that it is clear from the naming that store content can be implemented in all integration patterns.
64 64  
65 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
45 +//__Press "Enter" to search on multiple pages__//
46 +In our Daemon Switch release we added functionality that allowed you to press **Enter** to search on the property overview page. With this release we have added this functionality to many more pages across the portal. The complete list is as follows
66 66  
67 -//__Improved deletion behavior for enumerations__//
68 -To prevent that eMagiz will incorrectly delete enumeration lists when you press a "Cancel" button, we have improved the deletion behavior when viewing enumerations in the Create phase of eMagiz.

70 -//__Prevent "async" api operations__//
71 -With this release, we have removed the ability to select the "async" option when the default message format is API Management.
72 -
73 -//__Importing a response definition broke the request definition__//
74 -Currently, importing a response definition breaks the request definition. With this release, we have changed this behavior, ensuring that only the response definition is changed when importing and not the request definition.
75 -
76 -//__Removing a flow does not update the API "all-entry" anymore__//
77 -When you removed a flow from Create, the API Gateway all-entry received a new version of the flow. With this release, we have changed this behavior so that this only happens when the flow you remove is an API-related flow and not when it is a messaging or event streaming flow.
78 -
79 -//__Stop deployment plan when a property is missing__//
80 -Currently, the execution of your deployment plan continues when eMagiz notices a missing property. As this is confusing for a user and not desirable, we have updated the logic to ensure that when this happens, the execution stops. This allows you to fill in the properties, and once filled in, you can continue with the remainder of the deployment plan.
81 -
82 -//__Cap stack trace of error messages and log entries__//
83 -To prevent that enormous stack traces of error messages and log entries need to be processed by various systems, we have now limited what is kept so only the relevant information is shown to the user.

85 85  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
86 86  
87 87  As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:
