5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvements points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. Among others we have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation. Improved when certain logging is triggerd and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that we fixed several bug fixes surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado let us take a look at all these improvements.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release is characterized mainly by our efforts to bolster our 3rd generation runtime and all its interactions. Furthermore, some minor fixes and beta features will be released to the community.

7 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
7 +== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
8 8  
9 -//__Better feedback in error log when a corrupt stylesheet is encountered__//
10 -We have improved the logging within a 3rd generation runtime that identifies the broken resource by name within a container and informs you to navigate to Create -> Resources to see in which flows the resource is used so you can take the appropriate action.
9 +This release will introduce various improvements for our 3rd generation runtime. Below you will find the most noteworthy enhancements we made to the 3rd generation runtime and its interaction with the portal.
11 11  
12 -//__Better internal error handling to avoid unnecessary alerting and notifications__//
13 -We have improved the internal error handling when sending metrics from the runtime to our monitoring stack. This will gravely reduce the number of alerts you will receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
11 +//__Migration of JMS backup configuration improved__//
12 +With this release, the configuration of the JMS backup configuration is improved to prevent potential connectivity issues after migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
14 14  
15 -//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 -This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrated your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
14 +//__Prechecks on Upgrade option made available for 3rd generation runtime__//
15 +As with the current runtime architecture, you can now also execute the prechecks before automatically upgrading to the latest cloud template on the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
17 17  
18 -//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 -When a slot is put into standby mode we now also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models that have this functionality activated. The opposite happens when the slot wakeup is triggered. As a result not only the cloud runtimes are started but also all on-premise runtimes.
17 +//__Autogenerated exits can be deployed at once__//
18 +This release has fixed a bug that prevented you from deploying an exit flow correctly.
20 20  
21 -//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 -With this release we have improved the process through which your deploy action is preparated by eMagiz. As a result the chances of unexpected behavior occuring in your model are drastically reduced.
20 +//__Code mapping functionality available on 3rd generation runtime__//
21 +As of this release, code mapping functionality is also available for the 3rd generation runtime. This removes the restriction on migrating to the new 3rd generation runtime for our clients that use the code mapping functionality.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 -When migrating your streaming container we now take into account whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination specific additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without any manual intervention.
23 +//__Improved the performance when activating a release__//
24 +With this release, the performance of activating a release has improved considerably. This means less waiting time when activating a release.
26 26  
27 -//__Add History to Notifications in Manage__//
28 -To improve the auditability of our platform we have introduced an audit trail to the Notification section in Manage for models running on our 3rd generation monitoring stack. This way it is always visible when the notifications were paused and who paused or unpaused the notifications.
26 +//__Failing runtimes won't be restarted indefinitely anymore__//
27 +We have put a cap on this behavior to prevent your logs from exploding due to a failing runtime being restarted indefinitely. As of this release, five attempts will be made to restart a failing runtime. If the runtime can not start correctly after these attempts, the runtime will be stopped.
29 29  
30 -//__Improved Manage phase for Event Streaming__//
31 -Based on the feedback on our first iteration of the Manage phase for Event Streaming we have improved the graphs and the calculations that fill the graphs with values. On top of that we have added helptexts to clarify what each graph our table displays to you.
29 +== **Exportable Release Audit** ~* ==
32 32  
33 -//__Improved help text for network volumes__//
34 -With this release we have improved the help text that explains network volumes and how to use them within our solution.
31 +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.
35 35  
36 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesistate 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}}

35 +{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when exporting an audit document:
36 + * Works **only** for releases that are promoted and made active on **Production**
37 + * You will **only** see changes made during the **current** calendar year
38 + * On the first of April all objects of the **last** calendar year will be **removed**.
39 + ** As a consequence you cannot download this information anymore **after** the first of April{{/warning}}

38 38  == **Feedback items ** ==
39 39  
40 -//__Generation of security logic API Gateway in case of API Key as security method is improved__//
41 -With this release, we have improved the generation of security logic within the Create phase related to API Gateways that use the API Key method as their security mechanism.
43 +We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
42 42  
43 -//__User Roles are sorted alphabetically__//
44 -All user roles under User Management are now also sorted alphabetically.
45 +//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
46 +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.
45 45  
46 -//__Name of keystore for user management now includes the environment__//
47 -To improve the naming of downloaded keystore that need to be distributed to external parties we have added the name of the environment to the filename. This way you can make a distinction between the various environments by looking at the filename.
48 +//__Press "Enter" to search on multiple pages__//
49 +In our Daemon Switch release, we added functionality that allowed you to press **Enter** to search on the property overview page. This release has added this functionality to many more pages across the portal. The complete list is as follows.

52 -With this release, we have removed some specific update options that could cause mismatches between what was visually displayed and what was actually happening in the cloud.
53 -
54 -//__Ensure users can deploy release on environments they have edit rights on__//
55 -As of now users with only limited rights in Deploy, for example, only edit rights in Test can now activate and deploy releases that are ready for other environments but need to be deployed on the environment for which they have the rights to do so.
