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!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.

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	+//__New components__//
	10	+The following components have been added:
	11	+* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
	12	+* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
	13	+* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
	14	+* Duplicate detector: support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
	15	+* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
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.
	17	+//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
	18	+Added SpEL functions for:
	19	+* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
	20	+* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
	21	+* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
12	12
13		-The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on queue level we already offer to the community.
	23	+Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
14	14
15		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--new-alerting-options.png]]
	25	+Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.
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.
	27	+//__New image version 2.0.0__//
	28	+The above functionalities are features of the new image version 2.0.0. Important to note is that the library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Changed the library used for Code Mappings. Any customer with Gen3 runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0.

19		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@196-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
	30	+//__Component pages__//
	31	+Pages to add the new components have been created. Forms have been created nicely with proper help texts. The EHCache cache manager has been removed.
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.
	33	+== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
	34	+Manage - Monitoring: We will change the retention of monitoring data of different environments. For minute level data, it will be kept for test, acceptance and production environments for 5, 7 and 30 days respectively. Then the minute level data will be reduced to hour level data then will be stored for test, acceptance and production for 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.

25		-== **3rd generation improvements** ==
	38	+== **Feedback Items** ==
26	26
27		-//__Increased grace period for shutdown__//
28		-In this release, we have increased the grace period a container gets to shutdown before it is forcefully shutdown. This should reduce the chance of unwanted failover behavior to pop-up within your model.
	40	+//__Import from store__//
	41	+Design - Message Mapping: The button 'Import from Store' will directly open the store instead of showing a pop asking whether the store should be opened.
29	29
30		-//__Update at once or not__//
31		-This release fixes re-introduces the option to execute your actions on the eMagiz per zone or all at once when running in a double lane Docker setup.
	43	+//__Save and cancel buttons__//
	44	+The Save and Cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
32	32
33		-//__Improved user feedback while executing a deployment plan__//
34		-This release introduces additional feedback to the user when the deployment plan is executed. This is noticeable when a step cannot be executed properly. The relevant information of why this cannot be executed is shown to the user. This way they can take this information and act upon it instead of assuming everything went well.
	46	+//__User session times__//
	47	+Manage - Monitoring: The user session times for 3rd generation runtime dashboards have been extended, so that the user is not thrown out of the model when using the Manage phase for longer than an hour.
35	35
36		-//__Improved auto-healing when running in a hybrid situation__//
37		-In situations where you run in a hybrid situation (i.e. partly next-gen and partly the current generation) we have improved the auto-healing functionality in case an "out of memory" appears on a runtime running in the current generation but on a next generation architecture.

39		-== **Feedback items ** ==
	51	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
40	40
41		-//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
42		-With this release, we have ensured that when you navigate to Design -> System message you can see the message format (i.e. XML, JSON or EDI) without entering the "Start Editing" mode.
43	43
44		-//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
45		-Various smaller styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. For a complete list and more details please check out the release notes.

47	47	== **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
48	48
49	49	As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:
