5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done .....
5 +**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.
6 6  
7 -== **Next Generation Architecture Default** ==
8 -With this release, the next generation architecture will become the default. New models will use this generation as default.
7 +== **"Live" mode on flow testing** ==
9 9  
10 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-next-gen-default.png]]
9 +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.
11 11  
12 -== **Cloud Template R11 - Single Lane** ==
13 -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
11 +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.

15 -== **Cloud Template R13 - Double Lane** ==
13 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-pop-up.png]]
16 16  
15 +Once confirmed you will see that the user interface now indicates that the endpoint is in "live" mode.

18 -== **Feedback Items** ==
17 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--live-flow-testing-result.png]]
19 19  
20 -//__Unused properties overview__//
21 -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:
22 -* Not used by any runtime that is in the Create phase release.
23 -* Not required by a flow that is in the Create phase release.
24 -* If used as nested property, none of its parent properties (checks recursively) are in the Create phase release.
19 +{{info}}* The following restrictions apply for this functionality
20 + ** "Live" mode can only be activated on HTTP outbound gateway components
21 + ** "Live" mode can **not** be active when you want to use the flow test as an "automated" test{{/info}}
25 25  
26 -//__Send build requests asynchronously__//
27 -The step in the deployment plan concerning the preparation of runtime images will now be executed more quickly and reliably.
23 +== **3rd generation improvements** ==
28 28  
29 -//__Queue explorer milliseconds__//
30 -The queue browser now displays milliseconds in the timestamps.
25 +//__Event Streaming statistics completion__//
26 +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.
31 31  
32 -//__Cancel and next buttons order__//
33 -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.
28 +//__Deployments on next generation architecture__//
29 +This release fixes several smaller bugs and adds several improvements to the deployment process of the next generation architecture.
34 34  
35 -//__Unused images__//
36 -When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
31 +//__Clean queues option__//
32 +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.
37 37  
38 -//__Carwash logging__//
39 -A new logging feature enabling us to make better choices in encryption standards will be released.
34 +== **Feedback items ** ==
40 40  
41 -//__Static alerts queue consumers__//
42 -Alerting will now only generate alerts for queues that are created and managed by the eMagiz JMS server.
36 +//__On-premise containers are started upon slot wakeup__//
37 +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.
43 43  
44 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
39 +//__Resource path is shown to the user__//
40 +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.
45 45  
46 -//__Images rebuild__//
47 -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.
42 +//__Flow designer improvements__//
43 +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.
48 48  
49 -//__Flow Designer connection line__//
50 -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.
45 +//__Improved capabilities of a company contact__//
46 +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.
51 51  
52 -//__Portal for migrated models__//
53 -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.
48 +== **Bug fixes ** ==
54 54  
55 -//__Error channel inbounds__//
56 -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.
50 +//__Optional API parameters are handled correctly__//
51 +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.
57 57  
53 +//__Without CDM rights nothing related to any data model can be edited anymore__//
54 +With this release, we have made sure that nothing related to any data model can be edited without having the proper rights.
55 +
56 +//__Improved sorting of Design and Deploy archticture__//
57 +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.
