5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done .....
5 +**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.
6 6  
7 -{{warning}}Please be aware that for this release, because of the duration of the deployment, we advise you to check your TEST and ACCP cloud slots status, since you might need to start them manually in case your model is using the automatic wake up functionality. For following releases we will set the automatic wake up time to
8 -6:00 AM UTC instead 5:00 AM UTC. {{/warning}}
7 +== **Deployment Plan** ==
9 9  
10 -== **Next Generation Architecture Default** ==
11 -With this release, the next generation architecture will become the default. New models will use this generation as default.
9 +//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
10 +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.
12 12  
13 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-next-gen-default.png]]
12 +//__Editing release properties__//
13 +With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
14 14  
15 -== **Cloud Template R11 - Single Lane** ==
16 -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
15 +//__JMS memory setting check__//
16 +A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
17 17  
18 -== **Cloud Template R13 - Double Lane** ==
18 +//__Properties tab__//
19 +We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
19 19  
21 +//__Cleanup old images__//
22 +When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
20 20  
24 +//__Performance improvements for loading releases__//
25 +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.
26 +
27 +== **Store Improvements** ==
28 +
29 +//__Message definition elements order__//
30 +We fixed an issue that the orders of message definition’s elements were changed after imported.
31 +
21 21  == **Feedback Items** ==
22 22  
23 -//__Unused properties overview__//
24 -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:
25 -* Not used by any runtime that is in the Create phase release.
26 -* Not required by a flow that is in the Create phase release.
27 -* If used as nested property, none of its parent properties (checks recursively) are in the Create phase release.
34 +//__Alerting manual pause__//
35 +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.
28 28  
29 -//__Send build requests asynchronously__//
30 -The step in the deployment plan concerning the preparation of runtime images will now be executed more quickly and reliably.
37 +//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
38 +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).
31 31  
32 -//__Queue explorer milliseconds__//
33 -The queue browser now displays milliseconds in the timestamps.
40 +//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
41 +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.
34 34  
35 -//__Cancel and next buttons order__//
36 -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.
43 +//__Update flow designer version__//
44 +The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
37 37  
38 -//__Unused images__//
39 -When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
46 +//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
47 +A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
40 40  
41 -//__Carwash logging__//
42 -A new logging feature enabling us to make better choices in encryption standards will be released.
49 +//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
50 +Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
43 43  
44 -//__Static alerts queue consumers__//
45 -Alerting will now only generate alerts for queues that are created and managed by the eMagiz JMS server.
52 +//__Topic sizes description change__//
53 +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.
46 46  
47 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
55 +//__Password change notification__//
56 +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.
48 48  
49 -//__Images rebuild__//
50 -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.
58 +//__Password comparison__//
59 +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.
51 51  
52 -//__Flow Designer connection line__//
53 -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.
54 54  
55 -//__Portal for migrated models__//
56 -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.
62 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
57 57  
58 -//__Error channel inbounds__//
59 -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.
64 +//__Flow designer styling__//
65 +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.

61 61  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
62 62  
63 63  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:
