5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have been hard at work bolstering our offering concerning the upcoming rollout of our new architecture stack. Next to that big development, we have finished our work on the Flow Designer which is the major part of this release. Please take a moment to read the below carefully and work with the new flow designer as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with this one.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving various aspects of our home. Among others we have improved the logging, alerting, and security of our next-generation architecture. On top of that we have improved the inner workings of the store and the certificate management for those of us using the Event Streaming pattern.

7 +== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==

9 -The new Flow Designer used in Create is released! This is a significant improvement in our iPaaS Portal that implements feedback of our users and helps to improve the overall experience. After several iterations of internal validations and testing sessions with end-users, we are releasing this feature to all users. Below are some key notes that are important to know and to consider.
10 -
11 -=== **Improvements** ===
12 -The new Flow Designer implements an approach whereby components can be dragged into the canvas without any configuration setting changed. The right hand panel contains a new section called Alerts that helps users to remove all alerts from the flow created. Such as missing configurations, channels or mismatches. All of these alerts need to be resolved so that a valid flow can be pushed to Deploy.
9 +//__Enhanced overview of the HTTP Statistics__//
10 +As of now all resources that have been called atleast once since deploying them will now show up in the left-bottom graph of the HTTP Statistics. This will make it easier to see whether a particular operation was called within a timeframe. On top of that it makes comparing data on various operations easier. In here you can also filter on one (by pressing the + icon) or more by clicking on the filter icon. In case you want to sort the table in a different manner you can click on the name of the column on which you want to sort.

12 +//__Reason why runtime cannot start is now in the vast majority of cases reported back__//
13 +In this release, we have improved the way we report failures during startup of runtimes. This will ensure that it becomes much easier to pinpoint what went wrong upon startup.
15 15  
16 -Furthermore, there is now a right hand panel to brings a few configuration more forward for users. In that panel you will find the following 4 tabs as described below. Furthermore, you can collapse the right hand panel to have more space to view/edit your flow.

20 -* **Alerts**
21 -In this section, all alerts are displayed organized by component. Alert text should be clear to understand the issue and the component can be opened from that same location.
15 +{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the next-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
22 22  
23 -* **Resources**
24 -In this section, all resources are displayed used by the flow. Resources can be added and deleted from this section, as well as download and viewed. Generated resources such as transformations and definition are also vieweable from here. Use the option Show generated resources to explore these.
25 -
26 -* **Support objects**
27 -The support objects are no longer stored on the canvas, but displayed as a list in this tab. The interaction to add new support objects is also moved to this tab. Support objects can be edited from this tab as well. Please note that the interaction with the main canvas remains - selecting a support object will highlight the components in the canvas to illustrate where that support object is used.
17 +//__Forced congestion control__//
18 +To reduce the number of repeating mails within a 10 minute window we have now forced congestion control on all alerts generated via the platform.
28 28  
29 -* **Properties**
30 -The properties tab is also visible now and has been improved so that the values in Deploy can also be viewed. All values of all environments can be viewed - container level properties replicated are condensed into a single entry.
31 -
32 -=== **User interaction changes** ===
33 -There are some small changes to consider compared to the old flow designer. Please take a moment to read these:
34 -
35 -* Multiple select. This option is still available, but you have to click the shift button while drawing the rectangle that holds the objects to select
36 -* Live preview. When moving components around, a live preview of the flow is displayed so that alignment becomes easier
20 +//__Unused images are cleaned up__//
21 +This release improves the way in which images are kept. To avoid a lot of old and unused images on our systems and our systems we now (on default) cleanup old images that are not used anymore. Should you wish to keep the images and manually remove them on your own server you can deactivate this behavior per "Deploy machine" step in your deployment plan.

39 -== **Feedback items ** ==
23 +== **Store Improvements** ==
40 40  
41 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the key updates around functionality.
25 +//__Improved importing behavior for specific use cases__//
26 +Before, it could happen that a certain placeholder that contained an asterisk were imported incorrectly. This has now been fixed to ensure that the correct import behavior is experienced by our users.
42 42  
43 -//__Set runtime field as first selected field on property level__//
44 -With this change, the runtime is the first field selected when copying a property. This way it is easier to select another runtime and propagate that property to that runtime as well.
28 +//__Fixed bug in creating a message mapping on top of an imported system message__//
29 +It is now possbile to create a message mapping to an imported system message from the store.

47 -
31 +== **Event Streaming - Certificate Management** ==
48 48  
33 +//__Expired certification notification__//
34 +As of now we have functionality in place that will inform you (and us) when a client certificate of an Event Streaming user is going to expire within the upcoming three months. This way you can take action early on and report back that the update was succesfull so we can revoke the expiring client certificate accordingly.
