5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have done much work for the Deploy phase. On top of that, we have worked on several store functionalities. Next to this, we have several smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release ....
6 6  
7 -== **Release Date Change** ==
8 -As of release 208, released on November 9th, 2023, we will change our release date to Thursday morning starting at 05:00 AM CET (4:00 UTC). We opted for this change as it allows us to control better and manage our releases to uphold the quality standards you have gotten used to from us. Should you have any questions, please get in touch with [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].

10 -== **Deployment Plan** ==
9 +== **Feedback Items** ==
11 11  
12 -//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
13 -The algorithm for generating a default deployment plan is improved to keep JMS downtime and alerting to a minimum. When stopping a machine, the JMS server is stopped last, and when executing the deployment plan, the JMS server is deployed first. This way, the JMS server is troubled minimally, and all processes are stopped before being deployed again. This provides additional control over the deployment of your release(s) and reduces the likelihood of false-positive logging (and potentially alerting) during and shortly after the deployment.
11 +//__Property releases__//
12 +When a new property release is created, this property release can now be viewed and deleted.

14 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-213-joyful-journeys-property-release.png]]
16 16  
17 -//__Editing release properties__//
18 -With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
16 +//__Runtime deletion__//
17 +When deleting a runtime, the error message that is displayed is more descriptive. The error messages will now include the names of the flows that run on the container.
19 19  
20 -//__Container memory settings__//
21 -A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
19 +//__Update flows__//
20 +In Create > Resources, a button "Update flows" has been added to update versions of all flows in which a resource is used.
22 22  
23 -//__Properties tab__//
24 -We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
22 +//__Input fields__//
23 +Multiple input fields have been updated such that they expand when the amount of characters exceeds the default size. These updates were done to cater to large expressions.
25 25  
26 -//__Cleanup old images__//
27 -When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
25 +//__Memory settings__//
26 +It is now possible to change the memory settings of a container before pressing "Apply to environment". Before, it was only possible to view the memory settings if a container was running on AWS or running on a docker machine.
28 28  
29 -//__Performance improvements for loading releases__//
30 -Performance improvements have been implemented for loading releases in Deploy. Releases should now load faster than before. All functionality should remain exactly the same as before.
28 +//__Runtime validation__//
29 +Validation for runtimes that are moved from on premises to the cloud or vice versa has been improved.
31 31  
32 -== **Store Improvements** ==
31 +//__UI improvements__//
32 +UI improvements for static input components have been done and the tooltip for optional/required toggles has been improved.
33 33  
34 -//__Message definition elements order__//
35 -We fixed an issue that the order of message definition elements was changed after being imported.
34 +//__Q&A forum search__//
35 +The option to search by pressing the Enter key has been added to the Q&A forum.
36 36  
37 -//__Importing a store item with synchronous message definitions__//
38 -We fixed an issue that importing a store item with synchronous message definitions went wrong. Now, the imported message definitions should correspond with the exported message definitions.
37 +//__Wiretap & debug error messages__//
38 +The error messages that may be displayed when using wiretaps and the debugger have been improved, these are now more user friendly.
39 39  
40 -//__Importing store items containing static copies__//
41 -We fixed an issue that store items were missing static copies. Now, store items with static copies are imported correctly.
40 +//__Runtime overview image versions__//
41 +Insight into invented and actual deployments has been improved. If the release version number on runtimes is different compared with the release, this is shown in the runtime overview.
42 42  
43 -//__Importing store content__//
44 -We fixed an issue that blocked you from importing Store content in the Design phase. The message definitions and message mappings are now imported correctly as the original content in the item of the Store.
43 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
44 +//__Action messages__//
45 +The formatting of action messages regarding changes in retention bytes/hours has been improved. The action message will now display the correct, actual behaviour.
45 45  
46 -//__Store disclaimer__//
47 -Users who are not the model owner no longer see the eMagiz Store disclaimer popup, instead they see a popup containing a message that states that the model owner should accept the disclaimer.
47 +//__Removal of onramp__//
48 +We fixed an issue where it was not possible to remove the last onramp linked to a splitted entry (that was an all-entry before).
48 48  
49 -== **Feedback Items** ==
50 +//__Component changes reversion__//
51 +In the flow designer a bug could occur where the changes to a component would be reverted if the editing pop-up would be kept open for some minutes without having saved the changes yet. This has been fixed.
50 50  
51 -//__Alerting manual pause__//
52 -A few releases ago we changed the behavior of alerting in the deployment plan. Now each time when a deployment plan is executed the alerting will be automatically re-enabled when the deployer closes the deployment plan or closes the web browser. The majority of the users are happy with the new behavior, but there are some use cases that you do not want start the alerting immediately. With this release, if alerting has been paused manually, this will not be activated automatically after a release deployment.
53 +//__State generation statistics__//
54 +The state generation graphs will now show the correct number of cache hits and misses.
53 53  
54 -//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
55 -The graphs in Manage are now ordered according to importance. This means that runtime statistics are sorted by "Process CPU usage" (highest first), queue statistics are sorted by "Messages in queue" (highest first), and HTTP statistics are sorted by "Unsuccessful requests" (highest first).
56 +//__Runtime statistics details__//
57 +We fixed an issue where heap memory usage data was accumulating when zooming out in the runtime statistics details dashboards.
56 56  
57 -//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
58 -All Grafana panels now show UTC times, which are normally used in eMagiz, instead of local (browser) time zones. This way, it is easier to match graphs with logging events or alerts.
59 +//__Queue browser timestamps__//
60 +All timestamp formatting in the queue browser is now aligned to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS.
59 59  
60 -//__Update flow designer version__//
61 -The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
62 +//__Deployment prechecks__//
63 +During deployments prechecks will be done on runtimes that still have to be deployed from deploy architecture.
62 62  
63 -//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
64 -A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
65 +//__Addition and deletion of internal recipients__//
66 +Internal recipients are now added and deleted correctly. Before, an internal recipient could be added and thereafter deleted automatically when refreshing the page.
65 65  
66 -//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
67 -Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
68 -
69 -//__Topic sizes description change__//
70 -In the change description (and History) when altering the topic size of a topic the new and old value were switched around creating confusion, this has been resolved.
71 -
72 -//__Password change notification__//
73 -When an account password change request is made, even when this fails, a mail is sent to the account owner to inform the owner about the action.
74 -
75 -//__Password comparison__//
76 -When changing a password, it is compared to a list of known database breaches for security. A warning is shown when the password corresponds with a password in the database.
77 -
78 -//__Inactive user alerting__//
79 -Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
80 -
81 -//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
82 -Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
83 -
84 -//__SOAP Web services path__//
85 -Developers with Admin rights are now able to edit the 'SOAP Web services path' in the SSL settings.
86 -
87 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
88 -
89 -//__Flow designer styling__//
90 -The styling of the flow designer's left component panel has been restructured, solving a rare bug which would break the styling of certain functionalities.
91 -
92 -//__Partial search for messages__//
93 -It is now possible to search on messages partially in Manage Monitoring. For example, a search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
94 -
95 -//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
96 -In the last cloud template update there was an issue with disk performance. This has been resolved in this release. You can manually upgrade your cloud template, or rely on automatic updates.
97 -
98 -//__Error handling migration__//
99 -If there is no custom error handling, when migrating to Gen3, the error channel to “errorChannel” is only created for the first inbound in an entry flow. This has been fixed by adding a migration step, where we set the error channel of all inbounds in a flow to “errorChannel” if the custom error handling is set to false.
