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.
	5	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.

7		-== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
	7	+== **State Generation** ==
8	8
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.
	9	+//__New components__//
	10	+The following components have been added:
	11	+* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
	12	+* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
	13	+* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
	14	+* Duplicate detector: support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
	15	+* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
11	11
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.
	17	+//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
	18	+Added SpEL functions for:
	19	+* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
	20	+* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
	21	+* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
14	14
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}}
	23	+Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
16	16
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.
	25	+Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.
19	19
20		-//__Unused images are cleaned up__//
21		-This release improves the way in which images are kept. To avoid a lot of old and unused images on our systems and our systems we now (on default) cleanup old images that are not used anymore. Should you wish to keep the images and manually remove them on your own server you can deactivate this behavior per "Deploy machine" step in your deployment plan.
	27	+//__New image version 2.0.0__//
	28	+The above functionalities are features of the new image version 2.0.0. Important to note is that the library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Changed the library used for Code Mappings. Any customer with Gen3 runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0.
22	22
23		-== **Store Improvements** ==
	30	+//__Component pages__//
	31	+Pages to add the new components have been created. Forms have been created nicely with proper help texts. The EHCache cache manager has been removed.
24	24
25		-//__Improved importing behavior for specific use cases__//
26		-Before, it could happen that a certain placeholder that contained an asterisk were imported incorrectly. This has now been fixed to ensure that the correct import behavior is experienced by our users.
	33	+== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
	34	+We will change the retention of monitoring data of different environments. For minute level data, it will be kept for test, acceptance and production environments for 5, 7 and 30 days respectively. Then the minute level data will be reduced to hour level data then will be stored for test, acceptance and production for 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.
27	27
28		-//__Fixed bug in creating a message mapping on top of an imported system message__//
29		-It is now possbile to create a message mapping to an imported system message from the store.

31		-== **Event Streaming - Certificate Management** ==
	38	+== **Feedback Items** ==
32	32
33		-//__Expired certification notification__//
34		-As of now we have functionality in place that will inform you (and us) when a client certificate of an Event Streaming user is going to expire within the upcoming three months. This way you can take action early on and report back that the update was succesfull so we can revoke the expiring client certificate accordingly. If you want specific information on this please reach out to us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
	40	+//__Import from store__//
	41	+The button 'Import from Store' in Design will directly open the store instead of showing a pop asking whether the store should be opened.
35	35
	43	+//__Save and cancel buttons placement__//
	44	+The save and cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
	45	+
	46	+//__User session times__//
	47	+The user session times for 3rd generation runtime dashboards have been extended, so that the user is not thrown out of the model when using the Manage phase for longer than an hour.
	48	+
	49	+//__Cancel and next buttons order//
	50	+The order of the cancel and next buttons when creating a new trigger has been changed to increase alignment across the platform. Now, all cancel buttons are placed on the right of a 'next' or 'save' button.
	51	+
	52	+
	53	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
	54	+//__Topic and event-processor names__//
	55	+The styling of the event streaming canvas in the Create and Deploy phases has been altered slightly to make topic and event-processor names more readable.
	56	+
	57	+//__System alignment__//
	58	+The positioning of Systems across Design, Create and Deploy phases are now synchronized to the position of their respective System in the Capture phase. So, systems are aligned regarding positioning across all phases.
