5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving our next-generation architecture and introduced alerting functionality on top of our event streaming pattern based on user feedback. Furthermore, several smaller feedback items and bugs have been resolved with this release. So without further ado, let us dive into all we have to offer.
	6	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have...

7		-== **Event streaming alerting** ==
	8	+== **Alerts** ==
8	8
9		-This release expands our alerting functionality into the event streaming pattern. As of now, one new "static" alert has been introduced for all clients (using event streaming), and two "dynamic" alerts have been introduced that you can configure yourself if there is a need for it.
	10	+//__Topic approaching max size alert__//
	11	+The alert ‘topic approaching maximum size’ alert has been temporarily disabled due to a high number of false positives.
10	10
11		-The "static" alert we have added raises an alert (and a subsequent email) when the actual topic size crosses the threshold of 80% of the configured maximum retention size on a topic. This alert provides insights into whether messages on it are deleted due to a size or time constraint. In cases where data is deleted, the topic was too full way before the messages should have been removed due to the retention hours constraint. This alert can indicate that messages might be deleted before consumer groups had the option to consume the messages.
	13	+//__Missing metrics alert__//
	14	+We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
12	12
13		-The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on the queue level we already offer to the community.

	18	+//__Container version overview__//
	19	+In Deploy > Releases, it is now possible to see the container versions in the release details. This can be viewed by clicking the three dots in the Create phase section.
16	16
17		-The first new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once the number of messages on one (or more topics) is less than a certain number per defined time unit. So, for example, you can configure an alert once the number of messages placed on a topic called "Exception" is less than 15 messages within 5 minutes.

	23	+//__Unchanged containers__//
	24	+When deploying a new release, containers that have no changes between the deployed release and the new release will not be deployed and restarted.
20	20
21		-The second new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once one (or more) consumer groups are more than X messages behind on one or more topics. The configuration of this is comparable to what we saw before.
	26	+//__Rebuilding of images__//
	27	+Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
22	22
23		-For more information on the generic way of working surrounding alerting, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] and this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.Alerting.novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting.WebHome||target="blank"]].

25		-== **3rd generation improvements** ==
	30	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
26	26
27		-//__Increased grace period for shutdown__//
28		-In this release, we have increased a container's grace period to shut down before it is forcefully shut down. This should reduce the chance of unwanted failover behavior within your model.
	32	+//__Runtime metrics processing__//
	33	+The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
29	29
30		-//__Update at once or not__//
31		-This release fixes and re-introduces the option to execute your actions on the eMagiz per zone or all at once when running in a double-lane Docker setup.
	35	+//__Deployment plan__//
	36	+We solved a bug where a deployment step in the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
32	32
33		-//__Improved user feedback while executing a deployment plan__//
34		-This release introduces additional feedback to the user when the deployment plan is executed. This is noticeable when a step cannot be executed properly. The relevant information about why this cannot be executed is shown to the user. This way, they can take this information and act upon it instead of assuming everything went well.
	38	+//__Store message merging__//
	39	+The message merging tool has been fixed to allow merging of your message definitions from the Store to existing data model messages.
35	35
36		-//__Improved auto-healing when running in a hybrid situation__//
37		-In situations where you run in a hybrid situation (i.e., partly next-gen and partly the current generation), we have improved the auto-healing functionality in case an "out of memory" appears on a runtime running in the current generation but on a next-generation architecture.
	41	+//__View all store items__//
	42	+An issue has been fixed where it was not possible to load more store items in the left panel in the Create phase Flow Designer.
38	38
39		-//__Improved rollup and storage of metrics when running your solution in the next generation archticture__//
40		-To improve the stability of the Manage phase and, in particular, the metrics when zooming out on the provided information, we have made some structural changes that support this user functionality better.
	44	+//__Out of memory behavior__//
	45	+We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
41	41
42		-{{warning}} Due to this change, the platform will remove data collected before the release date in the upcoming weeks. This process will be finished at the beginning of June. From then on, all data before the 12th of May will no longer be visible. As users generally do not look back this far back in time, we consider this an acceptable trade-off. {{/warning}}
	47	+//__Max fetch size__//
	48	+We improved the help text of the advanced option of ‘max fetch size’ for the mail inbound adapter to better describe how that option affects its behavior.
	49	+
43	43
44		-== **Feedback items ** ==
45		-
46		-//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
47		-With this release, we have ensured that when you navigate to Design -> System message, you can see the message format (i.e., XML, JSON, or EDI) without entering the "Start Editing" mode.
48		-
49		-//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
50		-Various minor styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. Please check out the release notes for a complete list and more details.
