--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have done much work for the Deploy phase. On top of that, we have worked on several store functionalities. Next to this, we have several smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have work hard on improving our next generation architecture and introduced the "live" mode within our flow testing functionality. Furthermore there are loads of smaller feedback items and bugs that have been resolved with this release. So without further ado let us dive into all we have to offer.
--== **Deployment Plan** ==
++== **"Live" mode on flow testing** ==
--//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
--The algorithm for genarating a default deployment plan is improved to keep jms downtime and alerting to a minimum. Next to this, the start/stop/restart machine deployment steps are now also executed correctly for aws and on-premises machines.
++With this release we bring an improved version of the flow testing functionality. As of now you will have the option to switch between "live" and "mock" mode will running a flow test. The "mock" mode is the mode you are used to from us. In this mode all external communication is mocked by the system and only the functional process can be tested.
--//__Editing release properties__//
--With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
++By switching to "live" mode you can not only test the functional process but also the communication to the external system. You can do so by entering the "edit" mode of the flow test and toggle between "mock" and "live" mode. When doing so eMagiz will show you the following pop-up stressing the consequences of your actions.
--//__JMS memory setting check__//
--A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-pop-up.png]]
--//__Properties tab__//
--We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
++Once confirmed you will see that the user interface now indicates that the endpoint is in "live" mode.
--//__Cleanup old images__//
--When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-result.png]]
--//__Performance improvements for loading releases__//
--Performance improvements have been implemented for loading releases in Deploy. Releases should now load faster than before. All functionality should remain exactly the same as before.
++{{info}}* The following restrictions apply for this functionality
++  ** "Live" mode can only be activated on HTTP outbound gateway components
++  ** "Live" mode can **not** be active when you want to use the flow test as an "automated" test{{/info}}
--== **Store Improvements** ==
++== **3rd generation improvements** ==
--//__Message definition elements order__//
--We fixed an issue that the order of message definition elements was changed after being imported.
++//__Event Streaming statistics completion__//
++In this release, we have updated the retrieval of data to ensure that for all models, all environments and all topics this data can be shown to the user so they can properly monitor the environment.
--//__Improting a store item with synchronous message definitions__//
--We fixed an issue that importing a store item with synchronous message definitions went wrong. Now, the imported message definitions should correspond with the exported message definitions.
++//__Deployments on next generation architecture__//
++This release fixes several smaller bugs and adds several improvements to the deployment process of the next generation architecture.
--//__Importing store itmes containing static copies__//
--We fixed an issue that store items were missing static copies. Now, store items with static copies are imported correctly.
++//__Clean queues option__//
++This release introduces an option for **admins** to clean queues that remained after a migration towards the next generation runtime architecture. This will make the overview of which queues are "problematic" a much more realistic overview.
--== **Feedback Items** ==
++== **Feedback items ** ==
--//__Alerting manual pause__//
--A few releases ago we changed the behavior of alerting in the deployment plan. Now each time when a deployment plan is executed the alerting will be automatically re-enabled when the deployer closes the deployment plan or closes the web browser. The majority of the users are happy with the new behavior, but there are some use cases that you do not want start the alerting immediately. With this release, if alerting has been paused manually, this will not be activated automatically after a release deployment.
++//__On-premise containers are started upon slot wakeup__//
++With this release, we have added additional functionality to models running in the next generation runtime architecture. With this improvement all on-premise containers are stopped when the cloud slot goes to sleep and are woken up once the slot is woken up in the morning.
--//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
--The graphs in Manage are now ordered according to importance. This means that runtime statistics are sorted by "Process CPU usage" (highest first), queue statistics are sorted by "Messages in queue" (highest first), and HTTP statistics are sorted by "Unsuccessful requests" (highest first).
++//__Resource path is shown to the user__//
++You can now, without downloading, see the resource path of a resource by viewing the metadata of the resource. You can do so by pressing the "eye" icon to view this information.
--//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
--All Grafana panels now show UTC times, which are normally used in eMagiz, instead of local (browser) time zones. This way, it is easier to match graphs with logging events or alerts.
++//__Flow designer improvements__//
++With this release various improvements have been made to the flow designer. Among others we have improved the overview of what an "unused resource" is. You now have the option to define certain resources that are used but cannot be auto-detected by eMagiz to be an "used" resource to avoid confusion.
--//__Update flow designer version__//
--The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
++//__Improved capabilities of a company contact__//
++With this release we have improved the capabilities of a company contact. As of now you can also add users to models belonging to subcompanies below your the company to which you are the company contact.
--//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
--A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
++== **Bug fixes ** ==
--//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
--Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
++//__Optional API parameters are handled correctly__//
++Currently, eMagiz would create the wrong expression for handling optional API parameters. With this release we have improved the expression in such a way that all optional parameters are handled correctly out of the box.
--//__Topic sizes description change__//
--In the change description (and History) when altering the topic size of a topic the new and old value were switched around creating confusion, this has been resolved.
++//__Without CDM rights nothing related to any data model can be edited anymore__//
++With this release, we have made sure that nothing related to any data model can be edited without having the proper rights.
--//__Password change notification__//
--When an account password change request is made, even when this fails, a mail is sent to the account owner to inform the owner about the action.
++//__Improved sorting of Design and Deploy archticture__//
++With this release, we now ensure that both Design and Deploy architecture are sorted in the same manner to avoid confusion when quickly switching between both views.
--//__Password comparison__//
--When changing a password, it is compared to a list of known database breaches for security. A warning is shown when the password corresponds with a password in the database.
--
--//__Inactive user alerting__//
--Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
--
--//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
--Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
--
--== **Bug Fixes** ==
--
--//__Flow designer styling__//
--The styling of the flow designer's left component panel has been restructured, solving a rare bug which would break the styling of certain functionalities.
--
--//__Partial search for messages__//
--It is now possible to search on messages partially in Manage Monitoring. For example, search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
--
--//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
--Several accounts showed significantly more disk usage after the last cloud template update, this has been resolved.
--
  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
  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:
