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!** We have done .....

7 -==**Flow Designer V3**==
7 +{{warning}}Please be aware that for this release, because of the duration of the deployment, we advise you to check your TEST and ACCP cloud slots status, since you might need to start them manually in case your model is using the automatic wake up functionality. For following releases we will set the automatic wake up time to 6:00 AM UTC instead of 5:00 AM UTC. {{/warning}}

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 +== **Quicker Deployment Plan** ==
10 +We fixed an issue which caused the release preparation step to take longer than necessary and caused the machine deployment steps to execute when they could be skipped. So, the deploynment plan will be finished much quicker now!

14 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@184 - FlowDesigner releaseblog 1.png]]
12 +== **Next Generation Architecture Default** ==
13 +With this release, the next generation architecture will become the default. New models will use this generation as default.
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.

18 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@184 - FlowDesigner releaseblog 2.png]]
19 -
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 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-next-gen-default.png]]
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 +== **Cloud Template R11 Docker - Single Lane** ==
18 +This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup on the next generation architecture. This cloud template introduces faster machine boot up and improved auto-healing. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.R11 Docker - Single Lane.WebHome||target="blank"]].
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 +== **Cloud Template R13 Docker - Double Lane** ==
21 +This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a double-lane setup on the next generation architecture. This cloud template introduces faster machine boot up and improved auto-healing. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]].

23 +== **Feedback Items** ==

41 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the key updates around functionality.
25 +//__Unused properties overview__//
26 +In Deploy > Releases, it is now possible to see all unused properties of an environment. This can be viewed by clicking the three dots in the Create phase section. Here it is also possible to quickly delete all or a selection of those unused properties. Unused properties are properties that are:
27 +* Not used by any runtime that is in the Create phase release.
28 +* Not required by a flow that is in the Create phase release.
29 +* If used as nested property, none of its parent properties (checks recursively) are in the Create phase release.
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.
31 +//__Send build requests asynchronously__//
32 +The step in the deployment plan concerning the preparation of runtime images will now be executed more quickly and reliably.

46 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@184 - FlowDesigner releaseblog 3.png]]
47 -
34 +//__Queue explorer milliseconds__//
35 +The queue browser now displays milliseconds in the timestamps.
48 48  
37 +//__Cancel and next buttons order__//
38 +The order of the cancel and next buttons when creating a new trigger has been changed to increase alignment across the platform. Now, all cancel buttons are placed on the right of a 'next' or 'save' button.
39 +
40 +//__Unused images__//
41 +When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
42 +
43 +//__Carwash logging__//
44 +A new logging feature enabling us to make better choices in encryption standards will be released.
45 +
46 +//__Static alerts queue consumers__//
47 +Alerting will now only generate alerts for queues that are created and managed by the eMagiz JMS server.
48 +
49 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
50 +
51 +//__Flow Designer connection line__//
52 +In the Flow Designer an issue has been fixed where the connection line for drawing channels did work well when scrolling or zooming in/out on the canvas.
53 +
54 +//__Portal for migrated models__//
55 +We fixed a rare case where a runtime could not start, or logging, errors and metrics could not be seen in the portal for a model that had just migrated to the next generation architecture.
56 +
57 +//__Error channel inbounds__//
58 +We added a migration step, where we set the error channel to “errorChannel” of all inbounds in a flow if the custom error handling is set to false. Before, the error channel would be set to “errorChannel” only for the first inbound in an entry flow.
