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.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, several improvements for pop-ups have been achieved.
6 6  
7 -== **State Generation** ==
8 8  
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.
9 +== **Pop-up Improvements** ==
10 +//__Property releases__//
11 +When a new property release is created, this property release can now be viewed and deleted.
16 16  
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).
13 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-213-joyful-journeys-property-release.png]]
22 22  
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`.
15 +//__Runtime deletion__//
16 +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.
24 24  
25 -Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions.
18 +//__Wiretap & debug error messages__//
19 +The error messages that may be displayed when using wiretaps and the debugger have been improved, these are now more user friendly.
26 26  
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.
21 +//__Action messages__//
22 +The formatting of action messages regarding changes in retention bytes/hours has been improved. The action message will now display the correct, actual behaviour.
29 29  
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.
32 32  
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 +== **Formatting & Alignments** ==
35 35  
36 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-207-aligned-state-metrics-storage.png]]
27 +//__Input fields__//
28 +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.
37 37  
38 -== **Feedback Items** ==
30 +//__UI improvements__//
31 +UI improvements for static input components have been done and the tooltip for optional/required toggles has been improved.
39 39  
40 -//__Alerting manual pause__//
41 -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.
33 +//__Component changes reversion__//
34 +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.
42 42  
43 -//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
44 -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).
36 +//__State generation statistics__//
37 +The state generation graphs will now show the correct number of cache hits and misses.
45 45  
46 -//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
47 -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.
39 +//__Queue browser timestamps__//
40 +All timestamp formatting in the queue browser is now aligned to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS.
48 48  
49 -//__Update flow designer version__//
50 -The framework used in the flow designer has been updated, improving performance.
42 +//__Addition and deletion of internal recipients__//
43 +Internal recipients are now added and deleted correctly. Before, an internal recipient could be added and thereafter deleted automatically when refreshing the page.
51 51  
52 -//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
53 -A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
54 54  
55 -//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
56 -Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
46 +== **Feedback Items** ==
57 57  
58 -//__Topic sizes description change__//
59 -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.
48 +//__Update flows__//
49 +In Create > Resources, a button "Update flows" has been added to update versions of all flows in which a resource is used.
60 60  
61 -//__Password change notification__//
62 -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.
51 +//__Q&A forum search__//
52 +The option to search by pressing the Enter key has been added to the Q&A forum.
63 63  
64 -//__Password comparison__//
65 -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.
54 +//__Memory settings__//
55 +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.
66 66  
67 -//__Inactive user alerting__//
68 -Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
57 +//__Runtime validation__//
58 +Validation for runtimes that are moved from on premises to the cloud or vice versa has been improved.
69 69  
70 -//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
71 -Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
60 +//__Runtime overview image versions__//
61 +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.
72 72  
73 -
74 74  == **Bug Fixes** ==
75 75  
76 -//__Flow designer styling__//
77 -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.
65 +//__Removal of onramp__//
66 +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).
78 78  
79 -//__Partial search for messages__//
80 -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".
68 +//__Runtime statistics details__//
69 +We fixed an issue where heap memory usage data was accumulating when zooming out in the runtime statistics details dashboards.
81 81  
82 -//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
83 -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.
71 +//__Deployment prechecks__//
72 +During deployments prechecks will be done on runtimes that still have to be deployed from deploy architecture.
84 84  
85 -//__Error handling migration__//
86 -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.
