5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we worked hard on API improvements and 3rd generation improvements for you all to see. Amongst the API improvements we now introduce the option to define REST/XML structures in your API gateway for your API callers to call. This brings more options to the user community in setting up the API Gateway structure in accordance with the needs and desires of the client. On top of that we have released several 3rd generation improvements. Amongst these we will add WS-Security functionality to the runtime and improvements on viewing release properties. Furthermore we have released new cloud templates to improve security in our current runtime and improve the auto-healing for 3rd generation runtime cloud slots. Last but not least we release the first adaptation of "State generation" that can be implemented with the help of us in your model. In the upcoming monts we will gather feedback from actual client cases and improve on this functionality.
5 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have done much work for state generation, so that you can derive more information from your data! Examples are enrichment, aggregation, change detection and duplicate detection. State generation functionality is only accessible for models with an add-on state generation license. Next to state generation, several improvements regarding the alignment of components have been made. Moreover, performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented. Lastly, a change in the metrics storage duration has been performed.

9 +//__New components__//
10 +The following components have been added:
11 +* Aggregator: reverse of the splitter, used to combine multiple messages into a single one.
12 +* Infinispan metadata outbound channel adapter: Used to (temporarily) store metadata, which can be used to enrich messages, or make decisions in filters or scripts.
13 +* Content enricher: used to add properties to the payload of messages, similar to what the header enricher can do for headers.
14 +* Duplicate detector: Support object used to detect duplicate messages for a certain key on an inbound channel of a flow component. Duplicates can be marked or discarded.
15 +* Infinispan support objects, supporting the aggregator, metadata outbound channel adapter and content enricher.
10 10  
11 -To enhance your options when developing an API gateway that can be called by others we now introduce the option to select XML as the default message format on your API Gateway pattern. You can do this under Design -> Settings -> API Management. In here you can select and edit the settings.
17 +//__SpEL functions & JSON__//
18 +Added SpEL functions for:
19 +* Encoding & decoding Base64, Hex and hmac
20 +* Date retrieval (currentDateTime, currentEpochMilli, currentEpochSecond)
21 +* Date conversion (DateTime to Epoch, Epoch to DateTime, DateTime formatter and DateTime parser)
22 +* Added support for SpEL property accessors for XML and JSON, meaning that you can read message payloads in SpEL expressions easily. For example, to retrieve the value for 'id' in the following JSON String: `{"id":"123"}`, this SpEL expression suffices: `payload.id`.
23 +* Added support for `#JsonPath` usage in SpEL expressions

15 -Every operation made after this decision will default to XML (or JSON which is still the default). Should you want to support JSON on some operations and XML on others you can select a default and manually correct the mediaType for the requests and responses to which it matters.

19 -==**Cloud Template update** ==
20 -
21 -We have released several new Cloud templates which will be installed via the auto-upgrade settings of your model (or manually in case not set).
26 +== **Metrics Storage Duration** ==

24 24  
25 -This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup in the 2nd generation runtime. This cloud template will update some specific security settings on these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
31 +== **Feedback Items** ==
26 26  
27 -====Cloud Template R6 - Single Lane ====
33 +//__Alerting manual pause__//
34 +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.
28 28  
29 -This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup in the 3rd generation runtime. This cloud template will improve the auto-healing functionality of these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
36 +//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
37 +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).
30 30  
31 -====Cloud Template R6 - Double Lane====
39 +//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
40 +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.
32 32  
33 -This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a double-lane setup in the 3rd generation runtime. This cloud template will improve the auto-healing functionality of these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
42 +//__Update flow designer version__//
43 +The framework used in the flow designer has been updated, improving performance.
34 34  
35 -== **WS-Security on the 3rd generation runtime** ~*~* ==
45 +//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
46 +A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
36 36  
37 -To further improve our offering on the 3rd generation runtime we now also have added the necessary functionality to allow you to call SOAP endpoints while utilizing WS-Security as well as securing your hosted SOAP endpoint through WS-Security protocols. Please make sure to create a new release that will trigger the image creation process which will included this feature when necessary.
48 +//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
49 +Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
38 38  
39 -== **State Generation ~*~* ==
51 +//__Topic sizes description change__//
52 +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.
40 40  
41 -With this release we introduce our first "State Generation" functionality to our user community. After rigorous internal testing and use we have now made a stride to also make it available to the user community on specific use case. In the following months we will gather feedback on this to further improve and release it in a simpler and more user friendly way to the user community.
54 +//__Password change notification__//
55 +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.
42 42  
43 -{{info}}Should you be interested in this functionality or want to learn more please contact us at productmanagement@emagiz.com{{/info}}
57 +//__Password comparison__//
58 +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.
44 44  
45 -== **Feedback items ** ==
60 +//__Inactive user alerting__//
61 +Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
46 46  
47 -//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
48 -With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
63 +//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
64 +Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
49 49  
50 -//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
51 -When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
52 52  
53 -{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
67 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
54 54  
55 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
69 +//__Flow designer styling__//
70 +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.
56 56  
57 -//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
58 -With this release, we have changed the way we update properties when user management is updated for an API gateway using the API Key security mechanisms. This will prevent the endless loop that could now happen on occasion.
72 +//__Partial search for messages__//
73 +It is now possible to search on messages partially in Manage Monitoring. For example, a search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
59 59  
60 -{{warning}}Any operation that is incorrectly deleted from Deploy while still end up in the logic and could cause issue so pay attention when removing API Gateway operations.{{/warning}}
75 +//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
76 +In the last cloud template update there was an issue with disk performance. This has been resolved in this release. You can manually upgrade your cloud template, or rely on automatic updates.
61 61  
62 -//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
63 -As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
78 +//__Error handling migration__//
79 +If there is no custom error handling, when migrating to Gen3, the error channel to “errorChannel” is only created for the first inbound in an entry flow. This has been fixed by adding a migration step, where we set the error channel of all inbounds in a flow to “errorChannel” if the custom error handling is set to false.
