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 smalller fixes and beta features will be released to the community.

7 -== **Start/Stop Flows** ~*~* ==
7 +== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
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 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 -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".
11 +//__Migration of JMS backup configuration improved__//
12 12  
13 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--start-stop-flows-context-menu.png]]
13 +//__Prechecks on Upgrade option made available for 3rd generation runtime__//
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 +//__Autogenerated exits can be deployed at once__//
16 16  
17 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--start-stop-flows-pop-up-menu.png]]
17 +//__Code mapping functionality available on 3rd generation runtime__//
18 18  
19 -{{info}}Only in "Start Editing" mode you can actually start and stop specific flows{{/info}}
19 +//__Improved the performance of deploying or activating a release__//
20 20  
21 -== **Manage overview Event Streaming** ~*~* ==
21 +//__Failing runtimes won't be restarted indefinetly anymore__//
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 +== **Exportable Release Audit** ~* ==
24 24  
25 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@192-release-blog--event-streaming-overview-manage.png]]
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.
26 26  
27 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--flow-version-restore.png]]
28 +
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}}
34 +
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.
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.
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.
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.
36 36  
37 -{{warning}}Make sure to update your deployment plan accordingly to ensure that the preparation step is not forgotten{{/warning}}
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
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.

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.
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.
