--**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. 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.
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done .....
--{{warning}}State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license.{{/warning}}
++{{warning}}Please be aware that for this release, because of the duration of the deployment, we advise you to check your TEST and ACCP cloud slots status, since you might need to start them manually in case your model is using the automatic wake up functionality. For following releases we will set the automatic wake up time to
++6:00 AM UTC instead 5:00 AM UTC. {{/warning}}
--== **State Generation~*~*** ==
++== **Next Generation Architecture Default** ==
++With this release, the next generation architecture will become the default. New models will use this generation as default.
--//__New components__//
--The following components have been added:
--* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
--* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
--* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
--* 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.
--* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-next-gen-default.png]]
--//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
--Added SpEL functions for:
--* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac.
--* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond).
--* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser).
++== **Cloud Template R11 - Single Lane** ==
++This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup on the next generation architecture. This cloud template introduces faster machine boot up and improved auto-healing. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found here
--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`.
++== **Cloud Template R13 - Double Lane** ==
--Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions. With this functionality, you can access your JSON payloads in a similar way as you would access XML payloads using [[xPath>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Advanced Level.Create your transformations.advanced-create-your-transformations-xpath-advanced||target="blank"]].
--{{info}}The components are all configurable from the Flow Designer in Create and are accompanied by a help text explaining the use cases and the various technical configurations. Note that to make the components work in your model, a new release containing the latest image (2.0.0) needs to be deployed.{{/info}}
--
--{{warning}}The library used for Code Mappings has been changed. Any customer with next generation architecture runtimes and code mappings is required to reset their container infra flows prior to deploying on image 2.0.0. This has no consequences on a functional level. {{/warning}}
--
--== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==
--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 7, 14 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.

  == **Feedback Items** ==
--//__Import from store__//
--The button 'Import from Store' in Design will directly open the store instead of showing a pop up asking whether the store should be opened.
++//__Unused properties overview__//
++In Deploy > Releases, it is now possible to see all unused properties of an environment. This can be viewed by clicking the three dots in the Create phase section. Here it is also possible to quickly delete all or a selection of those unused properties. Unused properties are properties that are:
++* Not used by any runtime that is in the Create phase release.
++* Not required by a flow that is in the Create phase release.
++* If used as nested property, none of its parent properties (checks recursively) are in the Create phase release.
--//__Save and cancel buttons placement__//
--The save and cancel buttons have been placed slightly further apart from each other to avoid misclicking.
++//__Send build requests asynchronously__//
++The step in the deployment plan concerning the preparation of runtime images will now be executed more quickly and reliably.
--//__User session times__//
--The user session times for next generation architecture 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.
++//__Queue explorer milliseconds__//
++The queue browser now displays milliseconds in the timestamps.
  //__Cancel and next buttons order__//
  The order of the cancel and next buttons when creating a new trigger has been changed to increase alignment across the platform. Now, all cancel buttons are placed on the right of a 'next' or 'save' button.
--//__Data sink page__//
--The data sink page has been moved to the “Explore” tab.
--
--//__Unused images removal__//
++//__Unused images__//
  When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
--//__Flow Designer performance__//
--Performance improvements for the Flow Designer have been implemented.
++//__Carwash logging__//
++A new logging feature enabling us to make better choices in encryption standards will be released.
--//__Properties with special characters__//
--When a user would migrate to the next generation architecture and deploy their release containing properties with special characters, certain flows could not find the correct values to properties anymore or could not find the properties altogether. With this release, special characters such as a backslash do not break properties after deployment.
++//__Static alerts queue consumers__//
++Alerting will now only generate alerts for queues that are created and managed by the eMagiz JMS server.
--//__Hidden flow fragements__//
--When importing items from the store, flow fragments that are hidden in design will be listed under the versions in create.
--
--//__Resources disappearances__//
--Resources would disappear in the flow designer when pressing Cancel on selecting a new resource. With this release, resources without a name will not trigger error messages when users select components.
--
--//__Error channel for all inbounds__//
--If there is no custom error handling, next generation migration would set the error channel to “errorChannel” only for the first inbound in an entry flow. We added a migration step, such that the error channel is set to “errorChannel” of all inbounds in a flow if the custom error handling is set to false.
--
--//__Highlighting resources__//
--The performance of highlighting resources of selected components is improved in Read only mode.
--
  == **Bug Fixes** ==
--//__Topic and event-processor names__//
--The styling of the event streaming canvas in the Create and Deploy phases has been altered slightly to make topic and event-processor names more readable.
++//__Images rebuild__//
++We fixed an issue which caused the release preparation step to take longer time than necessary and caused the machine deployment steps to execute when they could be skipped.
--//__System alignment__//
--The positioning of Systems across Design, Create and Deploy phases are now synchronized to the position of their respective System in the Capture phase. So, systems are aligned regarding positioning across all phases. This will be done for existing systems as well.
++//__Flow Designer connection line__//
++In the Flow Designer an issue has been fixed where the connection line for drawing channels did work well when scrolling or zooming in/out on the canvas.
--//__Error alerting__//
--The error trigger is now configured to check if an error message contains a certain term, besides checking the error header.
++//__Portal for migrated models__//
++We fixed a rare case where a runtime could not start, or logging, errors and metrics could not be seen in the portal for a model that had just migrated to the next generation architecture.
--//__Alerting__//
--For the next generation architecture models, several adaptations to triggers have been made.
--* For the next generation architecture models, you will no longer receive alert messages for every error message, every log message of 'level' ERROR, and for memory usage above 80%.
--* For the next generation architecture models with event streaming, the threshold to receive the 'Topic approaching maximum size' alert has been increased from 95% of configured size used to 110%.
--* The next generation architecture configurable trigger for error messages has been extended with the option to check whether the 'last-exception' message contained a certain text. This can be combined with the header-value match.
++//__Error channel inbounds__//
++We added a migration step, where we set the error channel to “errorChannel” of all inbounds in a flow if the custom error handling is set to false. Before, the error channel would be set to “errorChannel” only for the first inbound in an entry flow.
--//__Unused containers__//
--Containers are set inactive when they are unused and removed in Design.
--
--//__Error popups when promoting a release version__//
--We fixed an issue that a lot of error popups were shown when you promoted a release version to a next environment.
--
--{{warning}}There is a new eMagiz Mendix connector available because a memory leak was found, only affecting Mendix connectors that have been migrated to the next generation architecture. It is advised to upgrade to the new eMagiz Mendix connector before fully migrating to the next generation architecture. {{/warning}}
