6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!**
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.
7 7  
8 -== **TBD** ==
7 +== **Deployment Plan** ==
9 9  
9 +//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
10 +The algorithm for genarating a default deployment plan is improved to keep jms downtime and alerting to a minimum. Next to this, the start/stop/restart machine deployment steps are now also executed correctly for aws and on-premises machines.
10 10  
12 +//__Editing release properties__//
13 +With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
11 11  
15 +//__JMS memory setting check__//
16 +A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
17 +
18 +//__Properties tab__//
19 +We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
20 +
21 +//__Cleanup old images__//
22 +When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
23 +
24 +//__Performance improvements for loading releases__//
25 +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.
26 +
27 +== **Store Improvements** ==
28 +
29 +//__Message definition elements order__//
30 +We fixed an issue that the orders of message definition’s elements were changed after they were imported.
31 +
32 +//__Message definition elements order__//
33 +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.
34 +
12 12  == **Feedback Items** ==
13 13  
14 -//__Missing properties overview__//
15 -The missing properties overview has been updated to show the runtimes and flow versions of missing property values.
37 +//__Alerting manual pause__//
38 +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.
16 16  
17 -ADD FIGURE
40 +//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
41 +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).
18 18  
19 -//__Container version overview__//
20 -Due to the improved build process for containers, the release versions and container versions will not longer be the same anymore. Therefore we introduce a way where you can look up to see which container versions are linked to a specific release. This can help you to identify if your containers that are running have the right version according to the release.
43 +//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
44 +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.
21 21  
22 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-210-deployment-delights-container-overview.png]]
46 +//__Update flow designer version__//
47 +The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved deployment process__//
25 -The improved release build process, as mentioned above, brings another major improvement to the platform. Because container versions will not be updated regularly we can identify during a deployment which container should get a new container version. Only the ones that should get a new version will be deployed and restarted, all other containers will not go down and keep running. This decreases the deployment time and improves the performance.
49 +//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
50 +A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
26 26  
27 -//__Rebuilding of images__//
28 -Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
52 +//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
53 +Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
29 29  
30 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
55 +//__Topic sizes description change__//
56 +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.
31 31  
32 -//__Runtime metrics processing__//
33 -The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
58 +//__Password change notification__//
59 +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.
34 34  
35 -//__Deployment plan__//
36 -We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
61 +//__Password comparison__//
62 +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.
37 37  
38 -//__View all store items__//
39 -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.
40 40  
41 -//__Out of memory behavior__//
42 -We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
65 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
43 43  
44 -//__Max fetch size__//
45 -In the Flow Designer, we improved the help text of the advanced option of ‘max fetch size’ for the Mail Inbound Adapter component to better describe how that option affects the component's behavior.
67 +//__Flow designer styling__//
68 +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.

47 47  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
48 48  
49 49  As always, this is a gentle reminder to ask questions via the Q&A forum. The Q&A forum is available in the eMagiz iPaaS portal, so we can all benefit from the knowledge within the community. For some inspiration, take a look at these forum answers:
