5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on planning the upcoming Q and finishing up features of the last Q. More on that later. On top of that we have several smaller items as a result of our hackathon efforts to present to you.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have improved the performance of our deployment plan, it should be finished much quicker now. Next to this, we have released new Docker Single Lane and Docker Double Lane cloud templates. Moreover, as of this release, the next generation architecture will be our default.
6 6  
7 -== **Announcement - Release Properties** ==
8 -As of the next release (202) we will introduce a completely new way of handling properties for all our clients. In the upcoming weeks we will publish additional information on the process, what changes, and how you best manage your properties as of then within the documentation portal. Should you have any questions in advance please contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
8 +{{warning}}
9 +Please be aware that for this release, because of the duration of the deployment, we advise you to check your TEST and ACCP cloud slots status, since you might need to start them manually in case your model is using the automatic wake up functionality. For following releases we will set the automatic wake up time to 6:00 AM UTC instead of 5:00 AM UTC.
10 +{{/warning}}
9 9  
10 -== ** Deploy Architecture - Apply To Environment improvements ** ==
11 -As of this release we will show you a list of all change that are about to be changed once you press "Apply to environment" in Deploy Architecture. This will ensure that it becomes clearer for users, especially those working together in teams, what will change when pressing this button.
12 +== **Quicker Deployment Plan** ==
12 12  
13 -//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
14 -When executing your deployment plan we will show specific log entries of the info category that indicate that a container (i.e. runtime) has started up correctly. On top of that we show the warnings and errors in this overview.
14 +We fixed an issue which caused the release preparation step to take longer than necessary and caused the machine deployment steps to execute when they could be skipped. So, the deploynment plan will be finished much quicker now!
15 15  
16 -{{info}}Note that when the JMS container gets restarted connection errors in the logs are a normal thing to witness so keep your eyes peeled for the startup logging on JMS level to gain confidence in the deployment.{{/info}}
16 +== **Next Generation Architecture Default** ==
17 17  
18 -//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
19 -To avoid mismatches between various parts of the infrastructure we have improved the timeout configuration on certain deployment plan steps to reduce the chance that these mismatches occur.
18 +With this release, the next generation architecture will become the default. New models will use this generation as default.
20 20  
21 -{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the current-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
20 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@209-release-blog-next-gen-default.png]]
22 22  
23 -//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
24 -To solve a bug for a specific client we changed the logic to show the user info (i.e. first part of the api key) in a specific implementation just as we already do in our standard implementations.
22 +== **Cloud Template R11 Docker - Single Lane** ==
25 25  
26 -{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the next-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
24 +This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup on the next generation architecture. This cloud template introduces faster machine boot up and improved auto-healing. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.R11 Docker - Single Lane.WebHome||target="blank"]].
27 27  
28 -//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
29 -This release improves the loading speed with which all the dashboards in Manage are shown to the user. This will enhance the user experience within the Manage phase.
26 +== **Cloud Template R13 Docker - Double Lane** ==
30 30  
31 -== **Store Improvements** ==
28 +This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a double-lane setup on the next generation architecture. This cloud template introduces faster machine boot up and improved auto-healing. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.R13 Docker - Double Lane.WebHome||target="blank"]].
32 32  
33 -//__Importing in Design is improved__//
34 -We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.
30 +== **Feedback Items** ==
35 35  
36 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
32 +//__Unused properties overview__//
33 +In Deploy > Releases, it is now possible to see all unused properties of an environment. This can be viewed by clicking the three dots in the Create phase section. Here it is also possible to quickly delete all or a selection of those unused properties. Unused properties are properties that are:
37 37  
38 -//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
39 -We have removed a reminder pop-up on a pending cloud template as it was deprecated and could cause issues when using it in communication with other systems.
35 +* Not used by any runtime that is in the Create phase release.
36 +* Not required by a flow that is in the Create phase release.
37 +* If used as nested property, none of its parent properties (checks recursively) are in the Create phase release.
40 40  
41 -//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
42 -When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down further down the flow.
39 +//__Send build requests asynchronously__//
40 +The step in the deployment plan concerning the preparation of runtime images will now be executed more quickly and reliably.
43 43  
44 -//__Improved Kafka settings__//
45 -For all flows that use a Kafka related component within the flow designer we will run a migration to update every single one of them to the new best practices and create a new flow version for them.
42 +//__Queue explorer milliseconds__//
43 +The queue browser now displays milliseconds in the timestamps.
46 46  
47 -{{info}}We strongly encourage all users that use these components to update to these new best practices as they increase stability of the cluster and throughput of the solution{{/info}}
45 +//__Cancel and next buttons order__//
46 +The order of the cancel and next buttons when creating a new trigger has been changed to increase alignment across the platform. Now, all cancel buttons are placed on the right of a 'next' or 'save' button.
48 48  
48 +//__Unused images__//
49 +When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
50 +
51 +//__Carwash logging__//
52 +A new logging feature enabling us to make better choices in encryption standards will be released.
53 +
54 +//__Static alerts queue consumers__//
55 +Alerting will now only generate alerts for queues that are created and managed by the eMagiz JMS server.
56 +
57 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
58 +
59 +//__Flow Designer connection line__//
60 +In the Flow Designer an issue has been fixed where the connection line for drawing channels did work well when scrolling or zooming in/out on the canvas.
61 +
62 +//__Portal for migrated models__//
63 +We fixed a rare case where a runtime could not start, or logging, errors and metrics could not be seen in the portal for a model that had just migrated to the next generation architecture.
64 +
65 +//__Error channel inbounds__//
66 +We added a migration step, where we set the error channel to “errorChannel” of all inbounds in a flow if the custom error handling is set to false. Before, the error channel would be set to “errorChannel” only for the first inbound in an entry flow.
