5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we worked hard on API improvements and 3rd generation improvements for you all to see. Amongst the API improvements we now introduce the option to define REST/XML structures in your API gateway for your API callers to call. This brings more options to the user community in setting up the API Gateway structure in accordance with the needs and desires of the client. On top of that we have released several 3rd generation improvements. Amongst these we will add WS-Security functionality to the runtime and improvements on viewing release properties. Furthermore we have released new cloud templates to improve security in our current runtime and improve the auto-healing for 3rd generation runtime cloud slots. Last but not least we release the first adaptation of "State generation" that can be implemented with the help of us in your model. In the upcoming monts we will gather feedback from actual client cases and improve on this functionality.
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.

9 -{{warning}}Note that a decision needs to be made to select XML or JSON as default format for all your operations hosted in your API Gateway.{{/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 your options when developing an API gateway that can be called by others we now introduce the option to select XML as the default message format on your API Gateway pattern. You can do this under Design -> Settings -> API Management. In here you can select and edit the settings.
