--**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!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving various aspects of our home. Among others we have improved the logging, alerting, and security of our next-generation architecture. On top of that we have improved the inner workings of the store and the certificate management for those of us using the Event Streaming pattern.
--== **State Generation** ==
++== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
--//__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.
++//__Enhanced overview of the HTTP Statistics__//
++As of now all resources that have been called atleast once since deploying them will now show up in the left-bottom graph of the HTTP Statistics. This will make it easier to see whether a particular operation was called within a timeframe. On top of that it makes comparing data on various operations easier. In here you can also filter on one (by pressing the + icon) or more by clicking on the filter icon. In case you want to sort the table in a different manner you can click on the name of the column on which you want to sort.
--//__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).
++//__Reason why runtime cannot start is now in the vast majority of cases reported back__//
++In this release, we have improved the way we report failures during startup of runtimes. This will ensure that it becomes much easier to pinpoint what went wrong upon startup.
--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`.
++{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the next-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
--Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.
++//__Forced congestion control__//
++To reduce the number of repeating mails within a 10 minute window we have now forced congestion control on all alerts generated via the platform.
--//__New image version 2.0.0__//
--The above functionality are features of the new image version 2.0.0. Important to note is that the library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Changed the library used for Code Mappings. Any customer with Gen3 runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0.
++//__Unused images are cleaned up__//
++This release improves the way in which images are kept. To avoid a lot of old and unused images on our systems and our systems we now (on default) cleanup old images that are not used anymore. Should you wish to keep the images and manually remove them on your own server you can deactivate this behavior per "Deploy machine" step in your deployment plan.
++== **Store Improvements** ==
--== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
--
--
--
++//__Improved importing behavior for specific use cases__//
++Before, it could happen that a certain placeholder that contained an asterisk were imported incorrectly. This has now been fixed to ensure that the correct import behavior is experienced by our users.
--== **Feedback Items** ==
++//__Fixed bug in creating a message mapping on top of an imported system message__//
++It is now possbile to create a message mapping to an imported system message from the store.
--//__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.
++== **Event Streaming - Certificate Management** ==
--//__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).
++//__Expired certification notification__//
++As of now we have functionality in place that will inform you (and us) when a client certificate of an Event Streaming user is going to expire within the upcoming three months. This way you can take action early on and report back that the update was succesfull so we can revoke the expiring client certificate accordingly. If you want specific information on this please reach out to us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
--//__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.
--
--//__Update flow designer version__//
--The framework used in the flow designer has been updated, improving performance.
--
--//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
--A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
--
--//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
--Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
--
--//__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.
--
--//__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.
--
--//__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, a search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
--
--//__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.
--
--//__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.

  == **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:
