5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvements points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. Among others we have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation. Improved when certain logging is triggerd and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that we fixed several bug fixes surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado let us take a look at all these improvements.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we have invested our effort to improve the performance and experience of our platform in the Deploy phase. Next to that, we did several bug fixes, not only for the Deploy phase, but also for the Store. Lastly, we made some changes to the alerts that you may be receiving.
6 6  
7 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
8 +== **Alerts** ==
8 8  
9 -//__Better feedback in error log when a corrupt stylesheet is encountered__//
10 -We have improved the logging within a 3rd generation runtime that identifies the broken resource by name within a container and informs you to navigate to Create -> Resources to see in which flows the resource is used so you can take the appropriate action.
10 +//__Topic approaching max size alert__//
11 +The alert ‘topic approaching maximum size’ has been temporarily disabled due to a high number of false positives.
11 11  
12 -//__Better internal error handling to avoid unnecessary alerting and notifications__//
13 -We have improved the internal error handling when sending metrics from the runtime to our monitoring stack. This will gravely reduce the number of alerts you will receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
13 +//__Missing metrics alert__//
14 +We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
14 14  
15 -//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 -This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrated your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
16 +== **Feedback Items** ==
17 17  
18 -//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 -When a slot is put into standby mode we now also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models that have this functionality activated. The opposite happens when the slot wakeup is triggered. As a result not only the cloud runtimes are started but also all on-premise runtimes.
18 +//__Improved release build process__//
19 +When a new release will be activated, no longer all containers will be rebuild but only affected containers will be rebuild. This should decrease the time for a release to be ready to be deployed.
20 20  
21 -//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 -With this release we have improved the process through which your deploy action is preparated by eMagiz. As a result the chances of unexpected behavior occuring in your model are drastically reduced.
21 +//__Container version overview__//
22 +Due to the improved build process for containers, the release versions and container versions will not longer be the same anymore. Therefore we introduce a way where you can look up to see which container versions are linked to a specific release. This can help you to identify if your containers that are running have the right version according to the release.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 -When migrating your streaming container we now take into account whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination specific additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without any manual intervention.
24 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-210-deployment-delights-container-overview.png]]
26 26  
27 -//__Add History to Notifications in Manage__//
28 -To improve the auditability of our platform we have introduced an audit trail to the Notification section in Manage for models running on our 3rd generation monitoring stack. This way it is always visible when the notifications were paused and who paused or unpaused the notifications.
26 +//_Improved deployment process_//
27 +The improved release build process, as mentioned above, brings another major improvement to the platform. Because container versions will not be updated regularly we can identify during a deployment which container should get a new container version. Only the ones that should get a new version will be deployed and restarted, all other containers will not go down and keep running. This decreases the deployment time and improves the performance.
29 29  
30 -//__Improved Manage phase for Event Streaming__//
31 -Based on the feedback on our first iteration of the Manage phase for Event Streaming we have improved the graphs and the calculations that fill the graphs with values. On top of that we have added helptexts to clarify what each graph our table displays to you.
29 +//__Rebuilding of images__//
30 +Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
32 32  
33 -//__Improved help text for network volumes__//
34 -With this release we have improved the help text that explains network volumes and how to use them within our solution.
32 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
35 35  
36 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesistate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
34 +//__Runtime metrics processing__//
35 +The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
37 37  
38 -== **Feedback items ** ==
37 +//__Deployment plan__//
38 +We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
39 39  
40 -//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
41 -With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
40 +//__View all store items__//
41 +An issue has been fixed where it was not possible to load more store items in the left panel in the Create phase Flow Designer.
42 42  
43 -//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
44 -When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
43 +//__Out of memory behavior__//
44 +We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
45 45  
46 -{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
46 +//__Max fetch size__//
47 +In the Flow Designer, we improved the help text of the advanced option of ‘max fetch size’ for the Mail Inbound Adapter component to better describe how that option affects the component's behavior.
47 47  
48 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
49 -
50 -//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
51 -With this release, we have changed the way we update properties when user management is updated for an API gateway using the API Key security mechanisms. This will prevent the endless loop that could now happen on occasion.
52 -
53 -{{warning}}Any operation that is incorrectly deleted from Deploy while still end up in the logic and could cause issue so pay attention when removing API Gateway operations.{{/warning}}
54 -
55 -//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
56 -As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
