5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have focused on wrapping up the previous quarter and starting the new one. When this happens, we go silent for a few weeks to plan for the upcoming quarter during our PI rituals. This time we added the famous "Hackathon" to the end of the PI week so we could start the Easter break with excellent spirit after solving several smaller feedback items and bugs reported by you. Several of those stories will be included in this and the upcoming release. On top of that, we introduce various improvements to our API Gateway pattern and our 3rd generation runtime architecture. Subsequently, we will release a new runtime image supporting the multiple 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 -== **Release properties** ==**
8 +== **Alerts** ==
8 8  
9 -== **API improvements** ==
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.
10 10  
11 -//__Improved auto-generated error handling__//
12 -When you create a new operation in your API gateway, eMagiz will now automatically generate the correct schemas, HTTP codes, and examples for this operation based on industry standards.
13 +//__Missing metrics alert__//
14 +We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
13 13  
14 -//__Switch default message format__//
15 -We have improved the logic when you switch the message format of your gateway message from XML to JSON or vice versa. As a result, the Swagger file will be changed accordingly. Once you update the relevant flow in Create and deploy the solution, the Swagger UI will automatically match the expected result.
16 +== **Feedback Items** ==
16 16  
17 -//__Re-using elements in gateway message__//
18 -This release improves how the examples and schemas in Swagger and the Flow Testing functionality are generated when certain elements repeatedly appear in different places within one specific gateway message.
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.
19 19  
20 -//__Improved naming of API operations when adding integrations to Create__//
21 -Previously when you added API operations to the Create phase, the HTTP operation (i.e., POST, PUT, GET) was not visible to a user. As a result, it became tough for a user to discern between specific operations once multiple of them were used on one resource (i.e., Order, Invoice, Lead). To clarify this for the user, the display name defined in Design (instead of Capture) is now used within this overview for these operations.
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.
22 22  
23 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
24 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-210-deployment-delights-container-overview.png]]
24 24  
25 -//__Update of the static alerting engine__//
26 -In this release, we have updated the static alerting engine that determines when one of the static alerts, as defined by eMagiz, should be triggered (or not). This change will improve the performance of the solution and will ensure that the alerts are activated correctly.
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.
27 27  
28 -//__Add "Data pipeline" functionality__//
29 -This release introduces the "data pipeline" functionality to the 3rd generation runtime. This removes another blockage for models waiting on this before migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
29 +//__Rebuilding of images__//
30 +Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
30 30  
31 -//__Fix related to the debugger__//
32 -This release introduces a fix that allows users to debug a flow once the toggle "Send error messages to eMagiz" is activated.
32 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
33 33  
34 -{{warning}}To make use of this bug fix, you need to be on the latest runtime image{{/warning}}
34 +//__Runtime metrics processing__//
35 +The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
35 35  
36 -//__Improved migration process__//
37 -This release introduced a fix that allows a user to migrate event processors with custom error handling without manual intervention.
37 +//__Deployment plan__//
38 +We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
38 38  
39 -//__Deployment plan change__//
40 -In this release, the prepare release step will not start automatically anymore. This prevents the user from waiting for this action to be finished before they can continue deploying the solution to their environment.
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.
41 41  
42 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesitate 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}}
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.
43 43  
44 -== **Feedback items ** ==
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.
45 45  
46 -//__License Tracker improvements__//
47 -With this release, we have added several new features available to purchase. On top of that, additional information on the license, such as adding notes and seeing the data sink packets, is now available.
48 -
49 -//__Ability to view the message definition for a topic__//
50 -Currently, you can easily navigate to the message definition of a topic via the context menu in Design, even if there is no event processor linked to the topic.
51 -
52 -//__Restricted access for uploading custom certificates to endpoints__//
53 -To improve our cloud offerings' general security and prevent users from uploading the wrong certificates, we have now restricted access to this view to ensure that only the administrator can execute this change. This allows for a discussion between the team implementing the solution and eMagiz before actions are taken.
54 -
55 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
56 -
57 -//__Improved deletion behavior for enumerations__//
58 -To prevent that eMagiz will incorrectly delete enumeration lists when you press a "Cancel" button, we have improved the deletion behavior when viewing enumerations in the Create phase of eMagiz.
59 -
60 -//__Prevent "async" api operations__//
61 -With this release, we have removed the ability to select the "async" option when the default message format is API Management.
62 -
63 -//__Importing a response definition broke the request definition__//
64 -Currently, importing a response definition breaks the request definition. With this release, we have changed this behavior, ensuring that only the response definition is changed when importing and not the request definition.
65 -
66 -//__Removing a flow does not update the API "all-entry" anymore__//
67 -When you removed a flow from Create, the API Gateway all-entry received a new version of the flow. With this release, we have changed this behavior so that this only happens when the flow you remove is an API-related flow and not when it is a messaging or event streaming flow.
68 -
69 -//__Stop deployment plan when a property is missing__//
70 -Currently, the execution of your deployment plan continues when eMagiz notices a missing property. As this is confusing for a user and not desirable, we have updated the logic to ensure that when this happens, the execution stops. This allows you to fill in the properties, and once filled in, you can continue with the remainder of the deployment plan.
71 -
72 -//__Cap stack trace of error messages and log entries__//
73 -To prevent that enormous stack traces of error messages and log entries need to be processed by various systems, we have now limited what is kept so only the relevant information is shown to the user.
74 -
