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 previous 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.
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.

7 -== **Announcement - Release Properties** ==
8 -As of the next release (202), we will introduce a 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 get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
7 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
9 9  
10 -== ** Deploy Architecture - Apply To Environment improvements ** ==
11 -As of this release, we will show you a list of all changes about to be changed once you press "Apply to the environment" in Deploy Architecture. This will make it clearer for users, especially those working in teams, what will change when pressing this button.
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.

13 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@201-release-blog--apply-to-environment-example.png]]
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.
14 14  
15 -== ** Breadcrumb navigation in eMagiz ** ==
16 -This release introduces the "breadcrumb" navigation in certain parts of eMagiz. This will mostly be noticed and impact the Create phase when you check out your transformation or system message on the flow level. Apart from there, the navigation is implemented consistently across the portal for a unified look and feel.
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.
17 17  
18 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@201-release-blog--breadcrumb-navigation-example.png]]
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.
19 19  
20 -== **Feedback Items** ==
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.
21 21  
22 -//__Improved layout of catalog page in Design__//
23 -We have improved the layout of the API Catalog overview in Design for our API Gateway users. Among others, we have introduced a scrollbar to get a better overview of several operations.
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.
24 24  
25 -//__Improved layout of "Edit integration" pop-up for API Gateway integrations__//
26 -Currently, the full path of your backend system will be shown when opening the "Edit integration" pop-up on your API Gateway integration.
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.
27 27  
28 -//__Additional help texts on Design Architecture__//
29 -We have improved the help texts in Design Architecture concerning the Event Streaming topic storage overview.
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.
30 30  
31 -//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
32 -In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
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.
33 33  
34 -//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
35 -This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
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}}

37 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
38 +== **Feedback items ** ==
38 38  
39 -//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
40 -To avoid unexpected behavior, we now ensure that nothing can be selected once you see the "deletion" pop-up when you want to remove something in the flow designer.
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.
41 41  
42 -//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
43 -We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
43 +//__User Roles are sorted alphabetically__//
44 +All user roles under User Management are now also sorted alphabetically.
44 44  
45 -//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
46 -This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
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.
47 47  
48 -//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
49 -This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
49 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
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 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.

51 51  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
52 52  
53 53  As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:
