6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, several improvements for pop-ups have been achieved.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have crossed our t's and dotted our i's on the release properties functionality that will impact the day to day life of every user working within the platform. The focus of the release blog will consequently also be on this subject. On top of that we have several additional smaller feedback item coming from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.

7 +== **Release Properties** ==
8 +As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. This change intends to solidify the relationship between a release and a property value. Before, in the current generation architecture, timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes on Production. On top of that it was not always clear whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something that was deployed. These considerations let us to change the property management behavior not only on our next-generation architecture but also on our current generation architecture. Having said that, there are several key changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notably among these are:
8 8  
9 -== **Pop-up Improvements** ==
10 -//__Property releases__//
11 -When a new property release is created, this property release can now be viewed and deleted.
10 +* The current properties tab in Deploy will disappear. The new overview of the properties (and their values) can be found under the "Create phase release" in Deploy -> Releases
11 +* Property placeholders (i.e. the names of properties as given in Create) are now automatically created for you. This to avoid mistakes when filling them in.
12 +* When adding or editing a property you can *now* select multiple runtimes for which the property applies. This is mainly beneficial for those running in a double lane setup or having a distributed landscape of containers.
13 +* A, for most, new concept of a "property release" is introduced. With the help of this functionality you can easily change a property on Production without having to create a completely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.

15 +{{info}}For more information please check out the following microlearnings:
14 14  
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.

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.
21 +Should you have any questions in advance, please get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
22 +{{/info}}
20 20  
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.
24 +== ** Manage - Next generation graphs improvements ** ==
25 +As of this release, we will create a condensed view of your metrics when zooming out in the Manage phase graphs. This will significantly improve the performance of the manage graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.

27 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@202-release-blog--manage-graphs-zoomed-out.png]]
24 24  
25 -== **Formatting & Alignments** ==
26 -
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.
29 -
30 -//__UI improvements__//
31 -UI improvements for static input components have been done and the tooltip for optional/required toggles has been improved.
32 -
33 -//__Runtime overview image versions__//
34 -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.
35 -
36 -//__Component changes reversion__//
37 -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.
38 -
39 -//__State generation statistics__//
40 -The state generation graphs will now show the correct number of cache hits and misses.
41 -
42 -//__Queue browser timestamps__//
43 -All timestamp formatting in the queue browser is now aligned to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS.
44 -
45 -//__Addition and deletion of internal recipients__//
46 -Internal recipients are now added and deleted correctly. Before, an internal recipient could be added and thereafter deleted automatically when refreshing the page.
47 -
48 -
49 49  == **Feedback Items** ==
50 50  
51 -//__Update flows__//
52 -In Create > Resources, a button "Update flows" has been added to update versions of all flows in which a resource is used.
31 +//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz wihout Edit rights in Create__//
32 +Without having edit rights in the Create phase you could already do a lot on the level of flow tests in eMagiz. However, there were some oversights we missed during the implementation. These have been fixed allowing those without edit rights to now also change the name and description of the test case.
53 53  
54 -//__Q&A forum search__//
55 -The option to search by pressing the Enter key has been added to the Q&A forum.
34 +//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
35 +To improve the audtiability on Deploy Architecture we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e. Fixed IP).
56 56  
57 -//__Memory settings__//
58 -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.
37 +//__Test your own exported work__//
38 +We have now made it possible to test your own exported work to the Store before it gets approved. This will increase the quality of store items we have, and our partners, have on offer within the store.
59 59  
60 -//__Runtime validation__//
61 -Validation for runtimes that are moved from on premises to the cloud or vice versa has been improved.
40 +{{info}}In case the concept of the store is new for you please check out this [[Fundamental>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-emagiz-store.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
62 62  
42 +//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
43 +In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
63 63  
45 +//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
46 +This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
47 +
64 64  == **Bug Fixes** ==
65 65  
66 -//__Removal of onramp__//
67 -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).
50 +//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
51 +To avoid unexpected behavior, we now ensure that nothing can be selected once you see the "deletion" pop-up when you want to remove something in the flow designer.
68 68  
69 -//__Runtime statistics details__//
70 -We fixed an issue where heap memory usage data was accumulating when zooming out in the runtime statistics details dashboards.
53 +//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
54 +We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
71 71  
72 -//__Deployment prechecks__//
73 -During deployments prechecks will be done on runtimes that still have to be deployed from deploy architecture.
56 +//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
57 +This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
74 74  
59 +//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
60 +This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
