5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have crossed our t's and dotted our i's on the release properties functionality that will impact the day to day life of every user working within the platform. The focus of the release blog will consequently also be on this subject. On top of that we have several additional smaller feedback item coming from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.

7		-== **Release Properties** ==
8		-As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. This change intends to solidify the relationship between a release and a property value. Before, in the current generation architecture, timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes on Production. On top of that it was not always clear whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something that was deployed. These considerations let us to change the property management behavior not only on our next-generation architecture but also on our current generation architecture. Having said that, there are several key changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notably among these are:
	7	+{{warning}}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
	8	+6:00 AM UTC instead 5:00 AM UTC. {{/warning}}
9	9
10		-* The current properties tab in Deploy will disappear. The new overview of the properties (and their values) can be found under the "Create phase release" in Deploy -> Releases
11		-* Property placeholders (i.e. the names of properties as given in Create) are now automatically created for you. This to avoid mistakes when filling them in.
12		-* When adding or editing a property you can *now* select multiple runtimes for which the property applies. This is mainly beneficial for those running in a double lane setup or having a distributed landscape of containers.
13		-* A, for most, new concept of a "property release" is introduced. With the help of this functionality you can easily change a property on Production without having to create a completely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.
	10	+== **Next Generation Architecture Default** ==
	11	+With this release, the next generation architecture will become the default. New models will use this generation as default.

	15	+== **Cloud Template R11 - Single Lane** ==
	16	+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

24		-== ** Manage - Next generation graphs improvements ** ==
25		-As of this release, we will create a condensed view of your metrics when zooming out in the Manage phase graphs. This will significantly improve the performance of the manage graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.

29	29	== **Feedback Items** ==
30	30
31		-//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz wihout Edit rights in Create__//
32		-Without having edit rights in the Create phase you could already do a lot on the level of flow tests in eMagiz. However, there were some oversights we missed during the implementation. These have been fixed allowing those without edit rights to now also change the name and description of the test case.
	23	+//__Unused properties overview__//
	24	+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:
	25	+* Not used by any runtime that is in the Create phase release.
	26	+* Not required by a flow that is in the Create phase release.
	27	+* If used as nested property, none of its parent properties (checks recursively) are in the Create phase release.
33	33
34		-//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
35		-To improve the audtiability on Deploy Architecture we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e. Fixed IP).
	29	+//__Send build requests asynchronously__//
	30	+The step in the deployment plan concerning the preparation of runtime images will now be executed more quickly and reliably.
36	36
37		-//__Test your own exported work__//
38		-We have now made it possible to test your own exported work to the Store before it gets approved. This will increase the quality of store items we have, and our partners, have on offer within the store.
	32	+//__Queue explorer milliseconds__//
	33	+The queue browser now displays milliseconds in the timestamps.
39	39
40		-{{info}}In case the concept of the store is new for you please check out this [[Fundamental>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-emagiz-store.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
	35	+//__Cancel and next buttons order__//
	36	+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.
41	41
42		-//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
43		-In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
	38	+//__Unused images__//
	39	+When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
44	44
45		-//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
46		-This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
	41	+//__Carwash logging__//
	42	+A new logging feature enabling us to make better choices in encryption standards will be released.
47	47
	44	+//__Static alerts queue consumers__//
	45	+Alerting will now only generate alerts for queues that are created and managed by the eMagiz JMS server.
	46	+
48	48	== **Bug Fixes** ==
49	49
50		-//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
51		-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.
	49	+//__Images rebuild__//
	50	+We fixed an issue which caused the release preparation step to take longer time than necessary and caused the machine deployment steps to execute when they could be skipped.
52	52
53		-//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
54		-We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
	52	+//__Flow Designer connection line__//
	53	+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.
55	55
56		-//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
57		-This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
	55	+//__Portal for migrated models__//
	56	+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.
58	58
59		-//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
60		-This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
	58	+//__Error channel inbounds__//
	59	+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.
