--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have hit the ground running in this quarter by not only focusing on larger features but also spend a substantial chunk of time on focusing with us all on a lot of smaller feedback items and bugs. All these items will be provided to you with this release. Among these are flow designer improvements, navigation improvements, and consistency improvements. On top of that, we have made our new monitoring stack available to a first set of models. So let us dive into all we have to offer this time!
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have...
--== **New monitoring stack** ==
++== **Alerts** ==
--This release will introduce a new monitoring stack that is available for models that run in the new runtime architecture of eMagiz. With the help of this monitoring stack we have redesigned various screens in Manage and restructured our alerting approach. For a sneak preview of what these changes entail please check out the following microlearnings.
++//__Topic approaching max size alert__//
++The alert ‘topic approaching maximum size’ alert has been temporarily disabled due to a high number of false positives.

--* [[Alerting in eMagiz>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-interpreting-runtime-statistics-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]]

--* [[HTTP Statistics>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Advanced Level.Advanced monitoring.HTTP Statistics.WebHome||target="blank"]]
++//__Missing metrics alert__//
++We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
--{{info}}Note that the new monitoring stack is only available for models that run the new runtime architecture. Should you wish to become an early adopter please contact us at productmanagement@emagiz.com to discuss the possibilities{{/info}}
++== **Feedback Items** ==
--== **Transformation Improvements** ==
++//__Container version overview__//
++In Deploy > Releases, it is now possible to see the container versions in the release details. This can be viewed by clicking the three dots in the Create phase section.
--//__Toggle between Design and Create__//
--This release will introduce a toggle that allows you to quickly navigate between the Create Transformation and the Design Message Mapping. In both Create as Design, a new button is added on the transformation level that allows you to open the transformation in Design (or Create) depending on where you are currently. This should make navigating easier when you make a mistake or forget something in Design.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-209-deployment-delights-container-overview.png]]
--//__Improved Transformation options for booleans__//
--On top of that, we will introduce additional functionality to transform "Boolean to enumeration," "enumeration to Boolean," and" Boolean to Boolean." Just as you are used to for the "enumeration to enumeration" transformation, you can now define a value mapping for each combination mentioned above. See below for an example of how this looks.
++//__Unchanged containers__//
++When deploying a new release, containers that have no changes between the deployed release and the new release will not be deployed and restarted.
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@179-release-blog--transformation-options-boolean.png]]
++//__Rebuilding of images__//
++Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
--== **Feedback items ** ==
--Apart from the key updates around functionality, we have also solved other feedback items.
--
--//__Correctly define the size of a cloud slot when creating it for the first time__//
--Currently, eMagiz will look to Design when creating the cloud slot for the first time. This is to avoid you having to “create” your solution twice, as there were instances where eMagiz would always create the cloud slot with the smallest size available first, even if this were not what you wanted.
--
--//__Updated infographic Capture__//
--As of now, we have updated the infographic on the Capture phase to incorporate the new look and feel and explain the updated functionality in Capture.
--
--//__Updated error feedback in Design__//
--Before, you could see a transformation error in Design even though the transformation was not used in your solution (i.e., “data pipeline” functionality). However, when you now define a specific integration as a data pipeline solution, the error will not be shown.
--
--//__Improved styling of Topic Storage in Design Architecture__//
--When having a large number of topics in your environment, the topic storage overview in Design Architecture will now be improved as the horizontal scrollbar is gone.
--
--//__Improved styling of error feedback on User Management in Deploy__//
--With this release we have improved the styling of the feedback pop-up you get in User management after pressing “Apply to environment” and several updates could not be executed.
--
--//__Show only the ten latest flow versions when selecting a flow version in a Release__//
--To improve the quality and speed of defining a release, we will show only the latest ten versions of a flow in the release widget, as these ten are most likely to be selected by a user. If you need an older version, you can add it via the “Details” option on the release.
--
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@179-release-blog--ten-latest-flow-versions-release.png]]
--
--//__Optional Client Secret when using the grant_type Password when calling an OAuth2.0 IDP__//
--Before, you needed to define the Client Secret even for the grant_type Password, where it is not always required. We have corrected this behavior to ensure that this is in line with the OAuth 2.0 specification.
--
--//__Clear API Gateway System message__//
--With this release, we have added the Clear button that you already know from the messaging pattern to the API Gateway system message. This unifies the options between the two patterns in Design on the system message level.
--
--//__Additional information in Property History__//
--To improve the usability of the property history page in Deploy, we now also show the runtime on which a particular property is changed. This is particularly useful when changing the same property used on different runtimes.
--
--//__Save Tag when ready__//
--With this release, we have made it explicit that when you want to change the name of a tag, you first need to press the “Save” button before the change is actualized within your model.
--
--//__View deployment step information when having view rights__//
--With this release, we have made it possible to view not only the deployment steps but also the detailed information of each deployment step when you only have view rights on a specific environment.
--
--//__Validating external recipients in notification settings__//
--Before pressing save, we will now validate what you entered in the external recipients setting to ensure that what is entered there are valid values.
--
--//__Automatically link enumeration list to attribute__//
--When you create an enumeration list relevant to a particular attribute, eMagiz will now automatically link the two together without you having to do this manually.
--
--//__Approve and go to environment__//
--With this release, we will provide you with the option to approve a release to a specific environment and let eMagiz directly take you to that environment.
--
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@179-release-blog--approve-and-go-to-environment.png]]
--
--//__Remove irrelevant information on a runtime in Design Architecture__//
--We have removed all irrelevant information for a user when you enter the details view of a runtime in Design Architecture. The information that is still shown is visualized below.
--
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@179-release-blog--container-view.png]]
--
--//__Add question about message redelivery in Capture__//
--When you use the message redelivery functionality, and it is relevant to consider whether it will be helpful when sending data to the system, you will now see an additional question in Capture. This question should trigger a thinking process on handling message redelivery for that specific solution.
--
--//__Prevent pressing “Apply to environment” multiple times leading to conflicts__//
--With this release, we have improved this functionality to verify whether an update is currently being executed. If this is true, all other times, you push the button; you will be notified that the process is still running. This is done to avoid potential conflicts if a user presses the "Apply to environment" button more than once in a short period.
--
--//__Add “State” to the topic details in Deploy Architecture__//
--Based on your feedback, we have improved the topic details overview to include the “State” of a topic. Each topic can be “Unchanged,” “Changed,” “Deleted,” or “New.” Based on this state, you can determine which topics will be added, changed, deleted, or remain untouched.
--
--//__Improved stability of logging on the Gen3 Architecture__//
--With this release, we have improved the stability of the logging and made sure that the logging is correctly compacted internally.
--
  == **Bug Fixes** ==
--//__Various updates when importing store items in Design including a transformation__//
--With this release, we have made several improvements for importing store items in Design, including a transformation. This will further bolster our offering on this.
++//__Runtime metrics processing__//
++The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
--//__Opening flow testing widget in specific circumstances was not working__//
--With this release, we fixed an issue where you could not open the flow testing functionality in the Create phase when your flow contained a particular construction combined with the “nullChannel.”
++//__Deployment plan__//
++We solved a bug where a deployment step in the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
--//__Improved styling when adding a large message to a flow test__//
--With this release, the styling of the pop-up will not change when you define a large message as input (or expected output) of your flow test. This will ensure that you can still easily specify the flow test message’s name and description after entering the large message.
++//__Store message merging__//
++The message merging tool has been fixed to allow merging of your message definitions from the Store to existing data model messages.
--//__Errors on the UI do not keep following me__//
--Before, we had some issues: when you navigated away from the API Gateway statistics page, an error pop-up would keep following you throughout the platform. To resolve this issue, you needed to refresh the browser. We have fixed this issue permanently with this release, making the refresh obsolete.
++//__View all store items__//
++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.
--//__Navigating back to the transformation in Create works again__//
--With this release, we have squashed a bug that annoyed users. Before, it could happen that when you navigated away from the transformation page in your flow in Create and returned later, the transformation was not shown anymore. With this release, we have made sure that regardless of where you come from, the transformation will be visible for you to see.
++//__Out of memory behavior__//
++We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
--//__Remove the qualified name when editing a non-legacy Mendix entry in eMagiz__//
--With this release, we have removed the possibility of changing the obsolete qualified name when editing a non-legacy Mendix entry in eMagiz.
++//__Max fetch size__//
++We improved the help text of the advanced option of ‘max fetch size’ for the mail inbound adapter to better describe how that option affects its behavior.
++
--//__Selecting tags when drawing a line in Capture__//
--We have now made this possible (again). This way, you can directly select the tag(s) you want instead of opening the detailed information on the line after it is already added to Capture.
--
--//__Remove invalid selection when configuring a cron trigger via the tooling__//
--With this release, we have removed invalid selection options presented to you when you used the configuration option on a property of type cron to let eMagiz define the cron trigger value. This is to avoid unwanted surprises when deploying your solution.
