5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release is characterized mainly by our efforts to bolster our 3rd generation runtime and all the interactions with it. Furthermore, some small bug fixes and beta features will be released to the community.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we have invested our effort to improve the performance and experience of our platform in the Deploy phase. Next to that, we did several bug fixes, not only for the Deploy phase, but also for the Store. Lastly, we made some changes to the alerts that you may be receiving.

8 +== **Alerts** ==

9 -This release will introduce the next phase of the Store to our whole community. With this new functionality, you can import data model messages (i.e., CDM, API Gateway Data model, or Event Streaming data model) and transformations. Connecting to standardized systems such as Exact Online, Microsoft Graph, Salesforce, and others will become even more accessible.
10 +//__Topic approaching max size alert__//
11 +The alert ‘topic approaching maximum size’ has been temporarily disabled due to a high number of false positives.

13 +//__Missing metrics alert__//
14 +We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.

15 -== **New eMagiz Mendix Connector** ==
18 +//__Improved release build process__//
19 +When a new release will be activated, no longer all containers will be rebuild but only affected containers will be rebuild. This should decrease the time for a release to be ready to be deployed.
16 16  
17 -This release introduces a new version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector. This version (6.0.0) will work with the current runtime architecture and the new runtime architecture making the migration from the existing runtime architecture to the new runtime architecture easier. The latest version of the eMagiz Mendix Connector can be found in the Mendix Marketplace and the eMagiz portal.
21 +//__Container version overview__//
22 +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.
18 18  
19 -{{info}}Migrating the runtime from the eMagiz portal works the same as for any other runtime. The migration path can be found [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-emagiz-runtime-generation-3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}

21 -== **Flow version restore** ~* ==
26 +//_Improved deployment process_//
27 +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.
22 22  
23 -On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to restore your flow to a previous version. This way, you can quickly undo changes made that were incorrect.
29 +//__Rebuilding of images__//
30 +Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.

32 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
26 26  
27 -{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when restoring to a previous version:
28 - * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
29 - * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
30 - * You will **not** be able to restore your flow to the original version created by eMagiz. You can use the reset function if you want this state back
31 - * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/warning}}
34 +//__Runtime metrics processing__//
35 +The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
32 32  
33 -== **Feedback items ** ==
37 +//__Deployment plan__//
38 +We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
34 34  
35 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
40 +//__View all store items__//
41 +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.
36 36  
37 -//__Improved help texts Kafka component__//
38 -The help texts on various configuration options and the general help text on multiple Kafka components have been updated to clarify how they work and how you ought to configure them to achieve the best possible result when sending and receiving messages to and from topics within eMagiz.
43 +//__Out of memory behavior__//
44 +We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
39 39  
40 -//__Improved warning message when Message redelivery cannot be adequately executed__//
41 -We have improved the warning you get when you cannot retrieve the messages waiting to be redelivered. This helps clarify what is going wrong when a user sees this warning.
46 +//__Max fetch size__//
47 +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.
42 42  
43 -//__See Flow Designer errors on the Create overview__//
44 -To improve our offering surrounding the new Flow Designer functionality, we now show on the Create overview which of the flows you still have alerts due to a misconfiguration of the flow. This will help to identify ongoing work much more manageable.

52 -//__Update Swagger File when changing the order of entities in gateway message__//
53 -In our previous release, we improved how the Swagger file is generated when changing the order of attributes of your gateway message. To make this functionality work for entities, we have made several additional changes to the platform supporting this.
