5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** It has been a while since our last deployment on the 9th of December. As a result we have finished up a lot of new improvements to our 3rd generation runtime offering and fixed a variety of annoying bugs as well as some small improvements. This release is characterized by the major steps we took to release several major features on our 3rd generation runtime among which are the queue browser and message redelivery functionality.
	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.

7		-== **Queue Browser** ==
	7	+== **Deployment Plan** ==
8	8
9		-{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
	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		-To enhance the observability of your integration landscape while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called the "Queue browser". You can access this functionality via the "Explore" menu option in Manage. With the help of the queue browser you can, as the name suggests, browse your queue.
	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		-To do so, we offer two options within this functionality. We have the Explore function and we have the Wiretap function. When selecting a queue and opting for the Explore option you get a live view of what data is currently present on the queue. When selecting the Wiretap functionality you automatically wiretap your queue and are presented with copies of your actual message that pass through the queue from the moment you pressed the Wiretap button.

16	16
17		-After selecting the queue and choosing the option eMagiz will show you the list of messages (oldest first) that are currently on the queue (Explore option) or that passed the queue since the moment you activate the option (Wiretap option). For each message you have various options at your disposal.
	21	+== **Feedback Items** ==
18	18
19		-* Delete the message from the queue (Explore option)
20		- ** This means throwing away live data which can be helpful in a test or acceptance environment where you inadvertedly put a lot of messages on a queue.
21		-* Clear message from the wiretap queue (Wiretap option)
22		- ** Once you are done with the analysis of a certain message in the wiretap functionality you can clear it from the overview so it does not clutter the view anymore
23		-* Refresh messages list (both options)
24		- ** By pressing this button you can refresh the list of messages that are displayed to you. Note that the list is sorted in such a way that the oldest messages are shown first
25		-* Save as test message
26		- ** By pressing this button you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create. Note that we link the message to the corresponding flow if we can. Should we not be able to do so we link the message to your model so you can still use it in the flow testing functionality.
27		-* Download
28		- ** By pressing this button you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.
	23	+//__Alerting manual pause__//
	24	+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.

30		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-explore-overview.png]]
	26	+//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
	27	+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).

34		-== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
	30	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
35	35
36		-This release will introduce various improvements for our 3rd generation runtime. Below you will find the most noteworthy enhancements we made to the 3rd generation runtime and its interaction with the portal.
	32	+//__Gain the ability again to configure certificates in Deploy Architecture again__//
	33	+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.
37	37
38		-//__SOAP and REST web services migration, including splitting them__//
39		-With this release, we have released the migration process that will allow you to migrate SOAP and REST web services to the 3rd generation runtime. At the same time, you can directly split the all-entry to eliminate that construction. A specific migration path for this will be published in the documentation portal.
	35	+//__Ensure that differing container configurations deploy the correct configuration__//
	36	+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.
40	40
41		-//__Changing SSL settings for 3rd generation runtime models works__//
42		-As with the current runtime architecture, you can change the SSL settings if needed for a model running in the 3rd generation runtime.
	38	+//__Remove queurying options in Manage__//
	39	+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.
43	43
44		-//__Improved migration for JMS flows__//
45		-This release will improve the migration of JMS flows when migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
46		-
47		-{{warning}}If you already migrated your JMS flow, you should execute a "Reset" action on the JMS level to get these changes in your model{{/warning}}
48		-
49		-//__Removed the ability to add "Debug components" to a flow running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
50		-As of this release, you can no longer add debug components on a flow already migrated to the 3rd generation runtime. This functionality will not work in the 3rd generation runtime and would break your flow.
51		-
52		-//__Deployment plan is updated correctly when completly migrated to the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
53		-We have fixed a bug that generated an incorrect default deployment plan once you were fully migrated to the 3rd generation runtime.
54		-
55		-//__Correct property generation for Event Streaming flows using the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
56		-With this release, the properties generated for Event Streaming flows running in the 3rd generation runtime are configured correctly to mimic the ones in the image.
57		-
58		-//__Added "Reset" functionality__//
59		-With this release, a new functionality has been added for 3rd generation runtimes that allows you to combine several steps into one action, called "Reset runtime." The effect of this action is the same as it currently is in the legacy runtime.
60		-
61		-== **Feedback items ** ==
62		-
63		-We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
64		-
65		-//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
66		-We have improved various display names using the merge functionality within our store offering.
67		-
68		-//__Update security protocols for our internal architecture__//
69		-Parts of our internal infrastructure (i.e., docs.emagiz.com) have been updated to adhere to the latest security standards.
70		-
71		-//__Improved read-only description for "if exists" constructions in Transformations__//
72		-To make it clear what the "if exists" check does while not being in "Start Editing" mode, we have improved the description so users without edit rights or without wanting to enter the "Start Editing" mode can read and interpret what the check does.
73		-
74		-
75		-== **Bug fixes ** ==
76		-
77		-//__Decent validation feedback when not filling in the property value__//
78		-We have fixed the validation feedback you get when not filling in the property value using the "Check properties" functionality.
79		-
80		-//__Incorrect resource locations__//
81		-We have fixed several instances where the resource location was not generated correctly in the 3rd generation runtime.
82		-
83		-//__Apply to environment in User Management performance improvement__//
84		-We have improved the performance of updating User Management on your environment. This way, the update functionality is more stable and faster.
