5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvement points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. We have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation, improved when specific logging is triggered, and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that, we fixed several bugs surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado, let us look at all these improvements.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we have done much work to improve our logging and overviews. This should improve the user experience for our platform. Next to this, we have done several minor changes and bug fixes, mainly relating to the Deploy and Manage phase.
6 6  
7 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
8 +== **Logging** ==
9 +//__Missing log entries__//
10 +We improved crash handling so that log messages clearly show when and why a container failed to start.
8 8  
9 -//__Better feedback in the error log when a corrupt stylesheet is encountered__//
10 -We have improved the logging within a 3rd generation runtime that identifies the broken resource by name within a container and informs you to navigate to Create -> Resources to see in which flows the resource is used so you can take the appropriate action.
12 +//__Runtime logging__//
13 +We fixed a bug where no new log messages were showing up, even though they were produced by the container.
11 11  
12 -//__Better internal error handling to avoid unnecessary alerting and notifications__//
13 -We have improved the internal error handling when sending metrics from the runtime to our monitoring stack. This will gravely reduce the alerts you receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
15 +//__Deployment execution error message__//
16 +In some cases when a machine type step in the deployment plan execution errors, the portal may give an error when trying to display the error message. This has been fixed by now showing a generic error in the deployment plan and logging the full error in the Deploy history. The Deploy history will show a summary of the error and show the full error message in a new pop-up.
14 14  
15 -//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
16 -This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrate your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
18 +== **Overviews** ==
17 17  
18 -//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
19 -When a slot is put into standby mode, we also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models with this functionality. The opposite happens when the slot wakeup is triggered. As a result, not only the cloud runtimes are started but also all on-premise runtimes.
20 +//__Runtime overview__//
21 +We added a new overview in the Deploy phase, called 'Runtime Overview', which shows the information of all runtimes on running machines in an overview.
20 20  
21 -//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
22 -With this release, we have improved the process through which your deployment action is prepared by eMagiz. As a result, the chances of unexpected behavior occurring in your model are drastically reduced.
23 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-runtime-overview.png]]
23 23  
24 -//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
25 -When migrating your streaming container, we now consider whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination, additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without manual intervention.
25 +//__Missing properties overview__//
26 +The missing properties overview has been updated to show the runtimes and flow versions of missing property values.
26 26  
27 -//__Add History to Notifications in Manage__//
28 -To improve the auditability of our platform, we have introduced an audit trail to the Notification section in Manage for models running on our 3rd generation monitoring stack. This way, it is always visible when the notifications were paused and who paused or unpaused the notifications.
28 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-missing-properties-overview.png]]
29 29  
30 -//__Improved Manage phase for Event Streaming__//
31 -Based on the feedback on our first iteration of the Manage phase for Event Streaming, we have improved the graphs and the calculations that fill the graphs with values. On top of that, we have added help texts to clarify what each chart our table displays to you.
30 +//__Runtime restart or redeploy overview__//
31 +Before executing the deployment plan to deploy machines, a pop-up will be shown with a list of the affected runtimes.
32 32  
33 -//__Improved help text for network volumes__//
34 -With this release, we have improved the help text that explains network volumes and how to use them within our solution.
33 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-restarted-redeployed-runtimes.jpg]]

36 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesitate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
35 +== **Feedback Items** ==
37 37  
38 -== **Feedback items ** ==
37 +//__Breaking changes pop-up__//
38 +Pending changes that have a high risk level are now shown in red bold in the pop up that appears after clicking 'Apply to environment'.
39 39  
40 -//__Generation of security logic API Gateway in case of API Key as security method is improved__//
41 -With this release, we have improved the generation of security logic within the Create phase related to API Gateways that use the API Key method as their security mechanism.
40 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-breaking-changes.jpg]]
42 42  
43 -//__User Roles are sorted alphabetically__//
44 -All user roles under User Management are now also sorted alphabetically.
42 +//__External recipients emailaddress__//
43 +The overview of external recipients has been updated. External recipients are created on a model level, instead of comma separated list. This means that you can add them to your environment directly, like internal users.
45 45  
46 -//__Name of keystore for user management now includes the environment__//
47 -To improve the naming of the downloaded keystore that needs to be distributed to external parties, we have added the name of the environment to the filename. You can distinguish between the various environments by looking at the filename.
45 +//__Broker queue metrics dashboards__//
46 +It is now possible to select the MQTT broker in the queue metrics dashboards.
48 48  
49 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
48 +//__Runtime image version__//
49 +The version of runtime images used to prepare your containers for deployments will be the same across all environments. This holds for releases that are deployed and promoted to a next environment.
50 50  
51 -//__Consolidated upgrade process cloud template__//
52 -With this release, we have removed some specific update options that could cause mismatches between what was visually displayed and what was happening in the cloud.
53 53  
54 -//__Ensure users can deploy release on environments they have edit rights on__//
55 -Currently, users with limited rights in Deploy, for example, only edit rights in Test, can now activate and deploy releases ready for other environments but need to be deployed on the environment for which they have the rights to do so.
52 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
56 56  
54 +//__Message throughput__//
55 +The message throughput graph in the Manage phase will now show the correct data, independent from the selected time internal. Before, this graph would not show any data in some cases.
56 +
57 +//__Cloud template upgrade unjust rollback__//
58 +An issue has been fixed where a cloud template upgrade would be rolled back unjustly due to failed runtime checks.
59 +
60 +//__Next generation block__//
61 +Apply to environment will now be blocked when trying to deploy Gen3 runtimes on a Gen2 model.

57 57  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
58 58  
59 59  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:
