--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have hit the ground running this quarter by focusing on more prominent features and spending a substantial chunk of time focusing with us all on a lot of smaller feedback items and bugs. All these items will be provided to you with this release. Among these are flow designer improvements, navigation improvements, and consistency improvements. On top of that, we have made our new monitoring stack available to the first set of models. So let us dive into all we have to offer this time!
--== **State Generation** ==
++== **New monitoring stack** ==
--//__New components__//
--The following components have been added:
--* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
--* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: Used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
--* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
--* Duplicate detector: Support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
--* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
++This release will introduce a new monitoring stack available for models that run in the new runtime architecture of eMagiz. With the help of this monitoring stack, we have redesigned various screens in Manage and restructured our alerting approach. For a sneak preview of these changes, please check out the following microlearnings.
--//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
--Added SpEL functions for:
--* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac
--* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond)
--* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser)
--* Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
--* Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions
++* [[Runtime Statistics>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-interpreting-runtime-statistics-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]]

++{{info}}Note that the new monitoring stack is only available for models that run the new runtime architecture. Should you wish to become an early adopter, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]] to discuss the possibilities{{/info}}
--== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
--
--
--
++== **Academy improvements** ==
--== **Feedback Items** ==
++On top of that, we have added various microlearnings to our academy offering available on docs.emagiz.com related to the new runtime architecture. You can identify these microlearnings by looking at the following icon in front of a microlearning.
--//__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.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--gen3-microlearnings-icon.png]]
--//__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).
++== **Flow Designer Improvements** ==
--//__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.
++//__See last changed date and changed by on resource level__//
++This release will reinstate the ability to see who changed a resource last and when it was changed for the last time. You can find this information by double-clicking on a resource or viewing its details via the view button.
--//__Update flow designer version__//
--The framework used in the flow designer has been updated, improving performance.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--change-info.png]]
--//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
--A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
++//__See on which other flows a resource is used__//
++This release will reinstate the ability to see whether a resource is used in other flows within your model or not. This will help to determine the impact of a specific change.
--//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
--Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--resource-used-in-other-configs.png]]
--//__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.
++//__Toggle option to see the generated resource by default__//
++Upon request, we have made the toggle for the generated resources in the new flow designer user-dependent. This means that you, as a user, can determine that the toggle should also be on. This means that the generated resources will be shown to you when opening any flow in eMagiz. When you switch the toggle off, this will mean that you will **not** see the generated resources by default.
--//__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.
++== **Feedback items ** ==
--//__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.
++We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
--//__Inactive user alerting__//
--Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
++//__Redirect to the Manage Dashboard from your model home page__//
++Directly navigating to the Manage phase (of any environment) will automatically redirect you to the error message Dashboard, as that is the landing page of the Manage phase.
--//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
--Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
++//__Readable entry of a SpEL expression in a flow component__//
++As of now, the input field for your SpEL expression in certain flow components will dynamically expand when you enter a large SpEL expression. This will improve the readability of your solution and will make it easier to enter and validate your SpEL expressions.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--spel-expression-readible.png]]
++//__Keep Create and the Create Phase release in sync__//
++Previously the Create and the Create Phase release might have become out of sync. As a result, comparing a release to the Create Phase release could yield confusing results. With this release, we have made several improvements to prevent this from happening.
++
++//__Mask password values in the unused properties overview__//
++All property values of the type password can be masked in the properties overview screen. However, this behavior was different when pressing the unused properties overview. With this release, we have corrected this behavior to ensure that passwords are also masked in this overview.
++
++//__Press Enter to Search for properties__//
++With this release, we have added functionality that makes it possible to press **Enter** when searching for properties in the property overview.
++
++//__Styling update on tag selection on integration level__//
++With this release, we have improved the styling of tags displayed on the integration and system level. This way, the tag is better readable, and the icon to remove a selected tag is completely shown to the user instead of partly.
++
++//__Enter to close automated flow testing pop-up__//
++Upon your requests, we have made the pop-up detailing your automated flow test results to be closable by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. This saves you the hassle of grabbing your mouse and clicking the button.
++
++//__Improved naming of downloaded Event Streaming keystore__//
++When downloading a Keystore that an Event Streaming client needs to access a topic, the name now includes the client name **and** the environment so you can easily discern the difference between the keystores when distributing them to your client.
++
++//__Pop out on the Traces tab within Flow Testing__//
++In line with the improvements we made before within the Flow Testing functionality, we have now added the pop-out functionality to all results shown in the traces tab. This will make it easier to analyze what happens between the start and the end of your flow.
++
++//__Sorting User Management__//
++As of this release, the user management overview in Deploy for users and roles will be sorted alphabetically to make it easier to find a specific user or role within this overview.
++
++//__Improved warning on passthrough API operation__//
++Most users forget to configure a backend API operation or switch to the transformation option when configuring an API operation in Capture and Design before moving to Create. This is then blocked, leaving users confused about what to do next. Therefore we introduce an additional warning in the Design phase that lets you know that your configuration of an API operation is not yet finished. This way, you can correct it **before** trying to move it to Create.
++
++//__Improved update functionality of Swagger file when changing data model__//
++Before, there were specific scenarios in which the Swagger file was not updated according to changes made to your API data model. With this release, we have made a first step in improving this behavior. Then, when you change the order of attributes in your data model, the Swagger file will be updated accordingly.
++
++{{info}}Note that just as with any resource that is changed from the Design phase, a version bump of your flow in Create is still necessary to deploy the changes to your environment(s){{/info}}
++
++//__"Disapprove and go to environment"__//
++Following the "Approve and go to environment" functionality, we have now expanded that by adding the "Disapprove and go to environment" functionality.
++
++//__Improve readability of API Gateway operations in Create and Deploy__//
++When you have a lengthy name for your API Gateway operation, it becomes tough to discern the various API Gateway operations in your landscape. To alleviate this problem, we have added a tooltip functionality that will show the full display name when hovering over the API Gateway operation.
++
++//__Add Topic Storage information to License Tracker__//
++On top of the information already shown in the License Tracker, we have added Storage information for the Event Streaming pattern. This way, you can easily see the amount of GB you have assigned and the amount of GB that was contractually agreed upon between you and eMagiz.
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@186-release-blog--topic-storage-info.png]]
++
++//__Add Compatibility check when importing store items__//
++We have added a compatibility check to the platform to prevent you from importing store items that do not work on a specific runtime architecture to prevent this from happening.
++
++//__Show dependencies between support objects__//
++As of now, when you click on a support object, all related support objects will also be highlighted in the same overview. This makes it easier to see the relationship between support objects and components and among support objects.
++
++//__Improve rendering of validation definition when using multiple namespaces__//
++With this release, we have improved how we render the validation definition (XSD) when using multiple namespaces. This will prevent you from running into validation errors while everything seems configured correctly on your end.
++
++//__Improved help texts on next-generation runtime functionality across the portal__//
++With this release, we have improved several help texts on functionality related to the next-generation runtime that help you while migrating to the next-generation runtime.
++
  == **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.
++//__Provide correct feedback when a flow is transferred to Deploy for the first time__//
++With this release, we have made several improvements to what feedback is given to the user when moving a flow from Create to Deploy for the first (upon creating your first definitive version). This will ensure that no confusing pop-ups will be shown that are incorrect and only confuse the user further.
--//__Partial search for messages__//
--It is now possible to search on messages partially in Manage Monitoring. For example, a search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
++//__Show information in the Exception of error messages overview__//
++With this release, we have resolved the bug plaguing this page. As a result, you will again see information on this page when there is information to show.
--//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
--In the last cloud template update there was an issue with disk performance. This has been resolved in this release. You can manually upgrade your cloud template, or rely on automatic updates.
++//__Improve styling of cron trigger configuration pop-up__//
++The styling of this pop-up made it very hard to configure a cron trigger. We have redesigned the styling to make the pop-up readable again.
--//__Error handling migration__//
--If there is no custom error handling, when migrating to Gen3, the error channel to “errorChannel” is only created for the first inbound in an entry flow. This has been fixed by adding a migration step, where we set the error channel of all inbounds in a flow to “errorChannel” if the custom error handling is set to false.
++//__Prevent flow editing locks in specific situations__//
++There were specific situations when switching between Design and Create that could lead to unexpected behavior in the Create phase. This led to a flow editing lock warning to the user. We have solved this problem in this release.
++//__Generate property value empties the runtime selection__//
++With this release, we have fixed the bug that emptied the runtime selection upon generating a property value (i.e., password).
++
++//__Make sure nothing of a system message is editable from your exit__//
++Before, you could change part of your system message from your exit (but not everything). This led to confusion. As a result, we have now made sure you cannot edit anything on the system message level from your exit to keep it consistent with our design choices.
++
++//__Prevent users without view rights from seeing a weird screen in those phases__//
++With this release, we have introduced a consistent approach towards what we show a user that has no view rights on a complete phase. This means that you will always see the same information consistently.
++
++//__Name of starting point of the flow test is incorrect__//
++With this release, we have ensured that the name of the starting point of your flow test you see in the "Results" tab is correct.
++
++//__Audit Trail on User Management could break__//
++When performing many changes to user management in Deploy at once, there was a chance the audit trail functionality would give an error blocking you from continuing your update. With this release, we have solved that issue.
++
++//__Progress bar in the license tracker is shown twice__//
++With this release, we have fixed a bug that showed the progress bar twice in the license tracker.
++
++//__Compare flows with support objects in the new flow designer__//
++We have fixed a bug related to support objects that prevented you from comparing two flows when one was built in the latest, and the difference was constructed in the old flow designer.
