5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvement points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. We have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation, improved when specific logging is triggered, and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that, we fixed several bugs surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado, let us look at all these improvements.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release will release several impactful features and enablers to our community. Among others, the next phase of the eMagiz Store will become publicly available. This means that you can now import data models and transformation on top of system messages in Design and accelerators in Create. Furthermore, we will launch a new Beta functionality through some of our clients, enabling you to restore your flow to a previous version.

7 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
7 +== **Store - Next phase** ==
8 8  
9 -//__Better feedback in the 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 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.
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 alerts you receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
11 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--current-store-offering.png]]
14 14  
15 -//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 -This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrate your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
13 +{{info}}For more information on the Store please check out this [[course>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]]. As a reminder, you can find all documentation on all available Store content published by eMagiz [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]].{{/info}}
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 also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models with this functionality. 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.
15 +== **New eMagiz Mendix Connector** ==
20 20  
21 -//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 -With this release, we have improved the process through which your deployment action is prepared by eMagiz. As a result, the chances of unexpected behavior occurring in your model are drastically reduced.
17 +This release introduces a new version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. This version (6.0.0) will work with the current runtime architecture and the new runtime architecture making the migration from the existing runtime architecture to the new runtime architecture easier. The latest version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector can be found in the Mendix Marketplace and the eMagiz portal.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 -When migrating your streaming container, we now consider whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination, additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without manual intervention.
19 +{{info}}Migrating the runtime from the eMagiz portal works the same as for any other runtime. The migration path can be found [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-emagiz-runtime-generation-3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
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.
21 +== **Flow version restore** ~* ==
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 help texts to clarify what each chart our table displays to you.
23 +On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to restore your flow to a previous version. This way, you can quickly undo changes made that were incorrect.
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.

35 35  
36 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesitate 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}}
27 +{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when restoring to a previous version:
28 + * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
29 + * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
30 + * 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
31 + * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/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.
35 +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.
37 +//__Improved help texts Kafka component__//
38 +The help texts on various configuration options and the general help text on multiple Kafka components have been updated to clarify how they work and how you ought to configure them to achieve the best possible result when sending and receiving messages to and from topics within eMagiz.
45 45  
46 -//__Name of keystore for user management now includes the environment__//
47 -To improve the naming of the downloaded keystore that needs to be distributed to external parties, we have added the name of the environment to the filename. You can distinguish between the various environments by looking at the filename.
40 +//__Improved warning message when Message redelivery cannot be adequately executed__//
41 +We have improved the warning you get when you cannot retrieve the messages waiting to be redelivered. This helps clarify what is going wrong when a user sees this warning.
48 48  
49 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
43 +//__See Flow Designer errors on the Create overview__//
44 +To improve our offering surrounding the new Flow Designer functionality, we now show on the Create overview which of the flows you still have alerts due to a misconfiguration of the flow. This will help to identify ongoing work much more manageable.
50 50  
51 -//__Consolidated upgrade process cloud template__//
52 -With this release, we have removed some specific update options that could cause mismatches between what was visually displayed and what was happening in the cloud.
46 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--alert-visualized-in-create-overview.png]]
53 53  
54 -//__Ensure users can deploy release on environments they have edit rights on__//
55 -Currently, users with limited rights in Deploy, for example, only edit rights in Test, can now activate and deploy releases ready for other environments but need to be deployed on the environment for which they have the rights to do so.
48 +{{info}}Note that you need to open flows that are currently triggering alerts to show the alert on the Create overview{{/info}}
56 56  
50 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
51 +
52 +//__Update Swagger File when changing the order of entities in gateway message__//
53 +In our previous release, we improved how the Swagger file is generated when changing the order of attributes of your gateway message. To make this functionality work for entities, we have made several additional changes to the platform supporting this.
