5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have processed additional feedback on the Manage phase to ensure you can more easily create overviews of your statistics, displaying all information correctly and improving the migration process to the next-generation architecture in the Create phase slightly. On top of that, we have improved the scalability of our new generation monitoring stack and the alerting structure. We will also release a new cloud template for our next-generation infrastructure to comply with technical requirements from our cloud provider.
	6	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we have invested our effort to improve the performance and experience of our platform in the Deploy phase. Next to that, we did several bug fixes, not only for the Deploy phase, but also for the Store. Lastly, we made some changes to the alerts that you may be receiving.

	8	+== **Alerts** ==
8	8
9		-As can be seen on our [[status page>>https://status.emagiz.com/incidents/dbh6g9w3ks7q||target="blank"]], we will release a new cloud template for our next-generation models (both single and double lane) that will change a configuration in these templates to comply with technical and operational requirements from our cloud provider. The announcement of the status page itself holds more detail for those to whom it pertains.
	10	+//__Topic approaching max size alert__//
	11	+The alert ‘topic approaching maximum size’ has been temporarily disabled due to a high number of false positives.
10	10
	13	+//__Missing metrics alert__//
	14	+We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
	15	+
11	11	== **Feedback Items** ==
12	12
13		-//__Improved Validation when migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
14		-To improve the migration process to the next-generation architecture, we now show a list of all reported problems, allowing the user to resolve them before migrating to the next-generation architecture.
	18	+//__Improved release build process__//
	19	+When a new release will be activated, no longer all containers will be rebuild but only affected containers will be rebuild. This should decrease the time for a release to be ready to be deployed.
15	15
16		-{{info}}Note that when no problem is found, the migration process of that runtime will start automatically.{{/info}}
	21	+//__Container version overview__//
	22	+Due to the improved build process for containers, the release versions and container versions will not longer be the same anymore. Therefore we introduce a way where you can look up to see which container versions are linked to a specific release. This can help you to identify if your containers that are running have the right version according to the release.
17	17
18		-//__Improved HTTP Statistics__//
19		-To improve the filtering and refresh functionality we offer on this overview, we have made several changes in this release that will improve the behavior of this overview.
	24	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-210-deployment-delights-container-overview.png]]
20	20
21		-//__"Topic Full" alert restriction changed__//
22		-With this release, we will change the "Topic Full" trigger point in our standard set of alerts once a model uses the Event Streaming functionality. Before, the alert would trigger on 80%, but as we saw, this is too early to make the alert useful in the context of our customers. As a result, the threshold has been raised to 95% to accommodate real-life situations better.
	26	+//_Improved deployment process_//
	27	+The improved release build process, as mentioned above, brings another major improvement to the platform. Because container versions will not be updated regularly we can identify during a deployment which container should get a new container version. Only the ones that should get a new version will be deployed and restarted, all other containers will not go down and keep running. This decreases the deployment time and improves the performance.
23	23
24		-//__Improved performance Manage Dashboards__//
25		-We have improved the efficiency of retrieving the data shown in the Manage Dashboards for the next-generation architecture.
	29	+//__Rebuilding of images__//
	30	+Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
26	26
27		-//__Show values on the runtime level in Deploy Architecture__//
28		-We have improved the values shown on the runtime (i.e., container) level in Deploy Architecture so you can better assess whether the memory configuration is still suitable for your deployed solution.
29		-
30		-{{info}}To get to the values we use different calculation methods per type of runtime, as certain runtime types have various reasons for existence.
31		-* JMS - The number of queues in the active release.
32		-* Messaging Container - The number of messaging integrations in the active release.
33		-* Messaging Connector - The number of messaging integrations related to this system in the active release.
34		-* API Gateway Container - The number of operations in the active release.
35		-* Event Streaming Container - The number of event processors in the active release.
36		-
37		-There might be multi-tenant and multi-runtime situations that do not always get to the exact number; however, this is a great improvement compared to showing no values.{{/info}}

39	39	== **Bug Fixes** ==
40	40
41		-//__Improved information Queue Statistics__//
42		-Given several constraints, it could happen that specific queues needed to be correctly displayed within the Manage phase on your model, making it tough to manage them. This has been resolved with this release.
	34	+//__Runtime metrics processing__//
	35	+The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
43	43
44		-//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
45		-In restricting the configuration options on the certificate level in one of our latter releases, it became impossible for normal users to add and edit certificates within Deploy Architecture. To resolve this problem we have now released a fix to resolve this issue, giving people the ability again to add and edit certificates under Deploy Architecture.
	37	+//__Deployment plan__//
	38	+We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
46	46
47		-//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
48		-When you run in a multi-runtime configuration and change the actual flows that need to run on container A vs. container B, it happened before that all flows were still being deployed on all runtimes. With this release, we will feed this information correctly to our infrastructure to ensure the correct and configured flows are deployed on the proper containers.
	40	+//__View all store items__//
	41	+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.
49	49
50		-//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
51		-To avoid errors and loading problems when analyzing your statistics in Manage, we have removed the option to select a default time range spanning more than seven days. This is to guarantee the stability of the solution and to avoid users getting unnecessary errors.
	43	+//__Out of memory behavior__//
	44	+We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
52	52
	46	+//__Max fetch size__//
	47	+In the Flow Designer, we improved the help text of the advanced option of ‘max fetch size’ for the Mail Inbound Adapter component to better describe how that option affects the component's behavior.

53	53	== **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
54	54
55	55	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:
