5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** Our release of the Private store functionality characterizes this release. This functionality allows some users to export content to a private store that is only accessible within the company and could be published to the public store of eMagiz. On top of that, we resolved some of the limitations on the 3rd generation runtime. Furthermore, some minor fixes and beta features will be released to the community.
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 -== **Private Store** ==
8 -On top of our general store, in which eMagiz currently publishes Store content relevant to both the Design and Create phases of eMagiz, we have added the private store functionality. This store works precisely the same as the general store. However, only users belonging to the same company as the exporter can import the store content (after it is approved).
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:

10 -{{warning}}Other users can see the store content but are not able to import the store content. They will be notified to them when they try to do so.{{/warning}}
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.

12 -== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
15 +{{info}}For more information please check out the following microlearnings:

16 -//__SOAP and REST web services migration, including splitting them__//
17 -With this release, we have released the migration process that will allow you to migrate SOAP and REST web services to the 3rd generation runtime. At the same time, you can directly split the all-entry to eliminate that construction. A specific migration path for this will be published in the documentation portal.
21 +Should you have any questions in advance, please get in touch with us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
22 +{{/info}}
18 18  
19 -//__Changing SSL settings for 3rd generation runtime models works__//
20 -As with the current runtime architecture, you can change the SSL settings if needed for a model running in the 3rd generation runtime.
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.
21 21  
22 -//__Improved migration for JMS flows__//
23 -This release will improve the migration of JMS flows when migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
27 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@202-release-blog--manage-graphs-zoomed-out.png]]
24 24  
25 -{{warning}}If you already migrated your JMS flow, you should execute a "Reset" action on the JMS level to get these changes in your model{{/warning}}
29 +== **Feedback Items** ==
26 26  
27 -//__Removed the ability to add "Debug components" to a flow running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
28 -As of this release, you can no longer add debug components on a flow already migrated to the 3rd generation runtime. This functionality will not work in the 3rd generation runtime and would break your flow.
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.
29 29  
30 -//__Deployment plan is updated correctly when completly migrated to the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
31 -We have fixed a bug that generated an incorrect default deployment plan once you were fully migrated to the 3rd generation runtime.
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).
32 32  
33 -//__Correct property generation for Event Streaming flows using the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
34 -With this release, the properties generated for Event Streaming flows running in the 3rd generation runtime are configured correctly to mimic the ones in the image.
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.
35 35  
36 -//__Added "Reset" functionality__//
37 -With this release, a new functionality has been added for 3rd generation runtimes that allows you to combine several steps into one action, called "Reset runtime." The effect of this action is the same as it currently is in the legacy runtime.
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}}
38 38  
39 -== **Feedback items ** ==
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.
40 40  
41 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
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.
42 42  
43 -//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
44 -We have improved various display names using the merge functionality within our store offering.
48 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
45 45  
46 -//__Update security protocols for our internal architecture__//
47 -Parts of our internal infrastructure (i.e., docs.emagiz.com) have been updated to adhere to the latest security standards.
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.
48 48  
49 -//__Improved read-only description for "if exists" constructions in Transformations__//
50 -To make it clear what the "if exists" check does while not being in "Start Editing" mode, we have improved the description so users without edit rights or without wanting to enter the "Start Editing" mode can read and interpret what the check does.
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.
51 51  
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.
52 52  
53 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
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.
54 54  
55 -//__Decent validation feedback when not filling in the property value__//
56 -We have fixed the validation feedback you get when not filling in the property value using the "Check properties" functionality.
57 -
58 -//__Incorrect resource locations__//
59 -We have fixed several instances where the resource location was not generated correctly in the 3rd generation runtime.
60 -
61 -//__Apply to environment in User Management performance improvement__//
62 -We have improved the performance of updating User Management on your environment. This way, the update functionality is more stable and faster.
