5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have done much work for the Deploy phase. On top of that, we have worked on several store functionalities. Next to this, we have several smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
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 -== **Deployment Plan** ==
7 +== **State Generation** ==
8 8  
9 -//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
10 -The algorithm for genarating a default deployment plan is improved to keep jms downtime and alerting to a minimum. Next to this, the start/stop/restart machine deployment steps are now also executed correctly for aws and on-premises machines.
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.

12 -//__Editing release properties__//
13 -With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
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  
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`.

18 -== **Store Improvements** ==
19 -
25 +Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.
20 20  
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.
29 +
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.
32 +
33 +== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
34 +Manage - Monitoring: 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.

21 21  == **Feedback Items** ==
22 22  
23 -//__Alerting manual pause__//
24 -A few releases ago we changed the behavior of alerting in the deployment plan. Now each time when a deployment plan is executed the alerting will be automatically re-enabled when the deployer closes the deployment plan or closes the web browser. The majority of the users are happy with the new behavior, but there are some use cases that you do not want start the alerting immediately. With this release, if alerting has been paused manually, this will not be activated automatically after a release deployment.
40 +//__Import from store__//
41 +Design - Message Mapping: The button 'Import from Store' will directly open the store instead of showing a pop asking whether the store should be opened.
25 25  
26 -//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
27 -The graphs in Manage are now ordered according to importance. This means that runtime statistics are sorted by "Process CPU usage" (highest first), queue statistics are sorted by "Messages in queue" (highest first), and HTTP statistics are sorted by "Unsuccessful requests" (highest first).
43 +//__Save and cancel buttons__//
44 +The Save and Cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
28 28  
46 +//__User session times__//
47 +Manage - Monitoring: 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.

30 30  == **Bug Fixes** ==
31 31  
32 -//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
33 -In restricting the configuration options on the certificate level in one of our latter releases, it became impossible for normal users to add and edit certificates within Deploy Architecture. To resolve this problem we have now released a fix to resolve this issue, giving people the ability again to add and edit certificates under Deploy Architecture.
34 34  
35 -//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
36 -When you run in a multi-runtime configuration and change the actual flows that need to run on container A vs. container B, it happened before that all flows were still being deployed on all runtimes. With this release, we will feed this information correctly to our infrastructure to ensure the correct and configured flows are deployed on the proper containers.
37 37  
38 -//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
39 -To avoid errors and loading problems when analyzing your statistics in Manage, we have removed the option to select a default time range spanning more than seven days. This is to guarantee the stability of the solution and to avoid users getting unnecessary errors.
