5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on a lot of things that are unfortunately not quite ready to be released. As a result the output of this release is limited. Having said that we still bring some key improvements in the Deploy and Manage phase that would make life much easier.
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.

7 -== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
7 +==**Flow Designer V3**==
8 8  
9 -//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
10 -When executing your deployment plan we will show specific log entries of the info category that indicate that a container (i.e. runtime) has started up correctly. On top of that we show the warnings and errors in this overview.
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.
11 11  
12 -{{info}}Note that when the JMS container gets restarted connection errors in the logs are a normal thing to witness so keep your eyes peeled for the startup logging on JMS level to gain confidence in the deployment.{{/info}}

13 13  
14 -//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
15 -To avoid mismatches between various parts of the infrastructure we have improved the timeout configuration on certain deployment plan steps to reduce the chance that these mismatches occur.
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.
17 +
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.
16 16  
17 -{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the current-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
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.
18 18  
19 -//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
20 -To solve a bug for a specific client we changed the logic to show the user info (i.e. first part of the api key) in a specific implementation just as we already do in our standard implementations.
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

39 +== **Feedback items ** ==
23 23  
24 -//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
25 -This release improves the loading speed with which all the dashboards in Manage are shown to the user. This will enhance the user experience within the Manage phase.
41 +We have also solved other feedback items besides the key updates around functionality.
26 26  
27 -== **Store Improvements** ==
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 28  
29 -//__Importing in Design is improved__//
30 -We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.

31 31  
32 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
33 -
34 -//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
35 -We have removed a reminder pop-up on a pending cloud template as it was deprecated and could cause issues when using it in communication with other systems.
36 -
37 -//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
38 -When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down further down the flow.
39 -
40 -//__Improved Kafka settings__//
41 -For all flows that use a Kafka related component within the flow designer we will run a migration to update every single one of them to the new best practices and create a new flow version for them.
42 -
43 -{{info}}We strongly encourage all users that use these components to update to these new best practices as they increase stability of the cluster and throughput of the solution{{/info}}
