5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release is characterized mainly by our efforts to bolster our 3rd generation runtime and all the interactions with it. Furthermore, some small bug fixes and beta features will be released to the community.
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 -== **Store - Next phase** ==
7 +== **Deployment Plan** ==
8 8  
9 -This release will introduce the next phase of the Store to our whole community. With this new functionality, you can import data model messages (i.e., CDM, API Gateway Data model, or Event Streaming data model) and transformations. Connecting to standardized systems such as Exact Online, Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, and others will become even more accessible.
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.
10 10  
11 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--current-store-offering.png]]
12 +//__Editing release properties__//
13 +With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
12 12  
13 -{{info}}For more information on the Store please check out this [[course>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]]. As a reminder, you can find all documentation on all available Store content published by eMagiz [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]].{{/info}}
15 +//__JMS memory setting check__//
16 +A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
14 14  
15 -== **New eMagiz Mendix Connector** ==
18 +//__Properties tab__//
19 +We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
20 +
21 +//__Cleanup old images__//
22 +
23 +== **Store Improvements** ==
24 +
16 16  
17 -This release introduces a new version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. This version (6.0.0) will work with the current runtime architecture and the new runtime architecture making the migration from the existing runtime architecture to the new runtime architecture easier. The latest version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector can be found in the Mendix Marketplace and the eMagiz portal.
26 +== **Feedback Items** ==
18 18  
19 -{{info}}Migrating the runtime from the eMagiz portal works the same as for any other runtime. The migration path can be found [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-emagiz-runtime-generation-3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
28 +//__Alerting manual pause__//
29 +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.
20 20  
21 -== **Flow version restore** ~* ==
31 +//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
32 +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).
22 22  
23 -On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to restore your flow to a previous version. This way, you can quickly undo changes made that were incorrect.
34 +//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
35 +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.
24 24  
25 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--flow-version-restore.png]]
37 +//__Update flow designer version__//
38 +The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
26 26  
27 -{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when restoring to a previous version:
28 - * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
29 - * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
30 - * You will **not** be able to restore your flow to the original version created by eMagiz. You can use the reset function if you want this state back
31 - * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/warning}}

33 -== **Feedback items ** ==
41 +
42 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
34 34  
35 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
44 +//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
45 +In restricting the configuration options on the certificate level in one of our latter releases, it became impossible for normal users to add and edit certificates within Deploy Architecture. To resolve this problem we have now released a fix to resolve this issue, giving people the ability again to add and edit certificates under Deploy Architecture.
36 36  
37 -//__Improved help texts Kafka component__//
38 -The help texts on various configuration options and the general help text on multiple Kafka components have been updated to clarify how they work and how you ought to configure them to achieve the best possible result when sending and receiving messages to and from topics within eMagiz.
47 +//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
48 +When you run in a multi-runtime configuration and change the actual flows that need to run on container A vs. container B, it happened before that all flows were still being deployed on all runtimes. With this release, we will feed this information correctly to our infrastructure to ensure the correct and configured flows are deployed on the proper containers.
39 39  
40 -//__Improved warning message when Message redelivery cannot be adequately executed__//
41 -We have improved the warning you get when you cannot retrieve the messages waiting to be redelivered. This helps clarify what is going wrong when a user sees this warning.
50 +//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
51 +To avoid errors and loading problems when analyzing your statistics in Manage, we have removed the option to select a default time range spanning more than seven days. This is to guarantee the stability of the solution and to avoid users getting unnecessary errors.
42 42  
43 -//__See Flow Designer errors on the Create overview__//
44 -To improve our offering surrounding the new Flow Designer functionality, we now show on the Create overview which of the flows you still have alerts due to a misconfiguration of the flow. This will help to identify ongoing work much more manageable.

50 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
51 -
52 -//__Update Swagger File when changing the order of entities in gateway message__//
53 -In our previous release, we improved how the Swagger file is generated when changing the order of attributes of your gateway message. To make this functionality work for entities, we have made several additional changes to the platform supporting this.
