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.
	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.

7		-== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
	8	+== **Alerts** ==
8	8
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.
	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.
11	11
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.
	13	+//__Missing metrics alert__//
	14	+We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
14	14
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}}
	16	+== **Feedback Items** ==
16	16
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.
	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		-//__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.
	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		-//__Improved rollup and storage of metrics when running an event streaming solution__//
24		-To improve the stability of the Manage phase and, in particular, the metrics when zooming out on the provided information, we have made some structural changes that support this user functionality better.
	24	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-210-deployment-delights-container-overview.png]]
25	25
26		-{{warning}} Due to this change, the platform will remove data collected before the release date in the upcoming weeks. This process will be finished at the beginning of July. From then on, all data before the 9th of June will no longer be visible. As users generally do not look back this far back in time, we consider this an acceptable trade-off. {{/warning}}
	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		-== **Store Improvements** ==
	29	+//__Rebuilding of images__//
	30	+Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
29	29
30		-//__Improved importing behavior for specific use cases__//
31		-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.
	32	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
32	32
33		-== **Event Streaming - Certificate Management** ==
	34	+//__Runtime metrics processing__//
	35	+The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
34	34
35		-//__Expired certification notification__//
36		-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. If you want specific information on this please reach out to us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
	37	+//__Deployment plan__//
	38	+We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
37	37
	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.
	42	+
	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.
	45	+
	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.
