5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have work hard on improving our next generation architecture and introduced alerting functionality on top of our event streaming pattern based on user feedback. Furthermore there are several smaller feedback items and bugs that have been resolved with this release. So without further ado let us dive into all we have to offer.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release will release several impactful features and enablers to our community. Among others, the next phase of the eMagiz Store will become publicly available. This means that you can now import data models and transformation on top of system messages in Design and accelerators in Create. Furthermore, we will launch a new Beta functionality through some of our clients, enabling you to restore your flow to a previous version.

7 -== **Event streaming alerting** ==
7 +== **Store - Next phase** ==
8 8  
9 -With this release we expand our alerting functionality into the event streaming pattern. As of now one new "static" alert is introduced for all clients (using event streaming) and two "dynamic" alerts are introduced that you can configure yourself if there is need for it.
9 +This release will introduce the next phase of the Store to our whole community. With this new functionality, you can import data model messages (i.e., CDM, API Gateway Data model, or Event Streaming data model) and transformations. Connecting to standardized systems such as Exact Online, Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, and others will become even more accessible.
10 10  
11 -The "static" alert we have added raises an alert (and a subsequent email) when the actual topic size crosses the threshold of 80% of the configured maximum retention size on a topic. This alert provides insights whether messages on it are deleted due to a size or time constraint. In cases where data is deleted becomes the topic was too full way before the messages should have been removed as a result of the retention hours constraint this alert can be seen as an indication that messages might be deleted before consumer groups had the option to consume the messages.

13 -The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on queue level we already offer to the community.
13 +{{info}}For more information on the Store please check out this [[course>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]]. As a reminder, you can find all documentation on all available Store content published by eMagiz [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Store.WebHome||target="blank"]].{{/info}}

15 +== **New eMagiz Mendix Connector** ==
16 16  
17 -The first new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once the total number of messages on one (or more topics) is less than a certain number per defined time unit. So for example you can configure an alert once the number of message placed on a topic called "Exception" is less than 15 messages within 5 minutes.
17 +This release introduces a new version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. This version (6.0.0) will work with the current runtime architecture and the new runtime architecture making the migration from the existing runtime architecture to the new runtime architecture easier. The latest version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector can be found in the Mendix Marketplace and the eMagiz portal.

19 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
19 +{{info}}Migrating the runtime from the eMagiz portal works the same as for any other runtime. The migration path can be found [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-emagiz-runtime-generation-3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
20 20  
21 -The second new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once one (or more) consumer groups is more than X number of messages behind on one or more topics. The configuration of this is comparable as we saw before.
21 +== **Flow version restore** ~* ==
22 22  
23 -For more information on the generic way of working surrounding alerting please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]] and this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.Alerting.novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting.WebHome||target="blank"]].
23 +On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to restore your flow to a previous version. This way, you can quickly undo changes made that were incorrect.

25 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
25 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--flow-version-restore.png]]
26 26  
27 -//__Event Streaming statistics completion__//
28 -In this release, we have updated the retrieval of data to ensure that for all models, all environments and all topics this data can be shown to the user so they can properly monitor the environment.
27 +{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when restoring to a previous version:
28 + * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
29 + * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
30 + * You will **not** be able to restore your flow to the original version created by eMagiz. You can use the reset function if you want this state back
31 + * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/warning}}
29 29  
30 -//__Deployments on next generation architecture__//
31 -This release fixes several smaller bugs and adds several improvements to the deployment process of the next generation architecture.
32 -
33 -//__Clean queues option__//
34 -This release introduces an option for **admins** to clean queues that remained after a migration towards the next generation runtime architecture. This will make the overview of which queues are "problematic" a much more realistic overview.
35 -
36 36  == **Feedback items ** ==
37 37  
38 -//__On-premise containers are started upon slot wakeup__//
39 -With this release, we have added additional functionality to models running in the next generation runtime architecture. With this improvement all on-premise containers are stopped when the cloud slot goes to sleep and are woken up once the slot is woken up in the morning.
35 +We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
40 40  
41 -//__Resource path is shown to the user__//
42 -You can now, without downloading, see the resource path of a resource by viewing the metadata of the resource. You can do so by pressing the "eye" icon to view this information.
37 +//__Improved help texts Kafka component__//
38 +The help texts on various configuration options and the general help text on multiple Kafka components have been updated to clarify how they work and how you ought to configure them to achieve the best possible result when sending and receiving messages to and from topics within eMagiz.
43 43  
44 -//__Flow designer improvements__//
45 -With this release various improvements have been made to the flow designer. Among others we have improved the overview of what an "unused resource" is. You now have the option to define certain resources that are used but cannot be auto-detected by eMagiz to be an "used" resource to avoid confusion.
40 +//__Improved warning message when Message redelivery cannot be adequately executed__//
41 +We have improved the warning you get when you cannot retrieve the messages waiting to be redelivered. This helps clarify what is going wrong when a user sees this warning.
46 46  
47 -//__Improved capabilities of a company contact__//
48 -With this release we have improved the capabilities of a company contact. As of now you can also add users to models belonging to subcompanies below your the company to which you are the company contact.
43 +//__See Flow Designer errors on the Create overview__//
44 +To improve our offering surrounding the new Flow Designer functionality, we now show on the Create overview which of the flows you still have alerts due to a misconfiguration of the flow. This will help to identify ongoing work much more manageable.
49 49  
50 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
46 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--alert-visualized-in-create-overview.png]]
51 51  
52 -//__Optional API parameters are handled correctly__//
53 -Currently, eMagiz would create the wrong expression for handling optional API parameters. With this release we have improved the expression in such a way that all optional parameters are handled correctly out of the box.
48 +{{info}}Note that you need to open flows that are currently triggering alerts to show the alert on the Create overview{{/info}}
54 54  
55 -//__Without CDM rights nothing related to any data model can be edited anymore__//
56 -With this release, we have made sure that nothing related to any data model can be edited without having the proper rights.
50 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
57 57  
58 -//__Improved sorting of Design and Deploy archticture__//
59 -With this release, we now ensure that both Design and Deploy architecture are sorted in the same manner to avoid confusion when quickly switching between both views.
52 +//__Update Swagger File when changing the order of entities in gateway message__//
53 +In our previous release, we improved how the Swagger file is generated when changing the order of attributes of your gateway message. To make this functionality work for entities, we have made several additional changes to the platform supporting this.
