5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have focused on wrapping up the previous quarter and starting the new one. When this happens, we go silent for a few weeks to plan for the upcoming quarter during our PI rituals. This time we added the famous "Hackathon" to the end of the PI week so we could start the Easter break with excellent spirit after solving several smaller feedback items and bugs reported by you. Several of those stories will be included in this and the upcoming release. On top of that, we introduce various improvements to our API Gateway pattern and our 3rd generation runtime architecture. Subsequently, we will release a new runtime image supporting the multiple 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 -== **Release properties** ==**
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 -== **API improvements** ==
12 +//__Runtime logging__//
13 +We fixed a bug where no new log messages were showing up, even though they were produced by the container.
10 10  
11 -//__Improved auto-generated error handling__//
12 -When you create a new operation in your API gateway, eMagiz will now automatically generate the correct schemas, HTTP codes, and examples for this operation based on industry standards.
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.
13 13  
14 -//__Switch default message format__//
15 -We have improved the logic when you switch the message format of your gateway message from XML to JSON or vice versa. As a result, the Swagger file will be changed accordingly. Once you update the relevant flow in Create and deploy the solution, the Swagger UI will automatically match the expected result.
18 +== **Overviews** ==
16 16  
17 -//__Re-using elements in gateway message__//
18 -This release improves how the examples and schemas in Swagger and the Flow Testing functionality are generated when certain elements repeatedly appear in different places within one specific gateway message.
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.
19 19  
20 -//__Improved naming of API operations when adding integrations to Create__//
21 -Previously when you added API operations to the Create phase, the HTTP operation (i.e., POST, PUT, GET) was not visible to a user. As a result, it became tough for a user to discern between specific operations once multiple of them were used on one resource (i.e., Order, Invoice, Lead). To clarify this for the user, the display name defined in Design (instead of Capture) is now used within this overview for these operations.
23 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-runtime-overview.png]]
22 22  
23 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
25 +//__Missing properties overview__//
26 +The missing properties overview has been updated to show the runtimes and flow versions of missing property values.
24 24  
25 -//__Update of the static alerting engine__//
26 -In this release, we have updated the static alerting engine that determines when one of the static alerts, as defined by eMagiz, should be triggered (or not). This change will improve the performance of the solution and will ensure that the alerts are activated correctly.
28 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-211-missing-properties-overview.png]]
27 27  
28 -//__Add "Data pipeline" functionality__//
29 -This release introduces the "data pipeline" functionality to the 3rd generation runtime. This removes another blockage for models waiting on this before migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
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.
30 30  
31 -//__Fix related to the debugger__//
32 -This release introduces a fix that allows users to debug a flow once the toggle "Send error messages to eMagiz" is activated.

34 -{{warning}}To make use of this bug fix, you need to be on the latest runtime image{{/warning}}
35 +== **Feedback Items** ==
35 35  
36 -//__Improved migration process__//
37 -This release introduced a fix that allows a user to migrate event processors with custom error handling without manual intervention.
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'.
38 38  
39 -//__Deployment plan change__//
40 -In this release, the prepare release step will not start automatically anymore. This prevents the user from waiting for this action to be finished before they can continue deploying the solution to their environment.

42 -{{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}}
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.
43 43  
44 -== **Feedback items ** ==
45 +//__Broker queue metrics dashboards__//
46 +It is now possible to select the MQTT broker in the queue metrics dashboards.
45 45  
46 -//__License Tracker improvements__//
47 -With this release, we have added several new features available to purchase. On top of that, additional information on the license, such as adding notes and seeing the data sink packets, is now available.
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.
48 48  
49 -//__Ability to view the message definition for a topic__//
50 -Currently, you can easily navigate to the message definition of a topic via the context menu in Design, even if there is no event processor linked to the topic.
51 51  
52 -//__Restricted access for uploading custom certificates to endpoints__//
53 -To improve our cloud offerings' general security and prevent users from uploading the wrong certificates, we have now restricted access to this view to ensure that only the administrator can execute this change. This allows for a discussion between the team implementing the solution and eMagiz before actions are taken.
52 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
54 54  
55 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
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 56  
57 -//__Improved deletion behavior for enumerations__//
58 -To prevent that eMagiz will incorrectly delete enumeration lists when you press a "Cancel" button, we have improved the deletion behavior when viewing enumerations in the Create phase of eMagiz.
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 59  
60 -//__Prevent "async" api operations__//
61 -With this release, we have removed the ability to select the "async" option when the default message format is API Management.
60 +//__Next generation block__//
61 +Apply to environment will now be blocked when trying to deploy Gen3 runtimes on a Gen2 model.
62 62  
63 -//__Importing a response definition broke the request definition__//
64 -Currently, importing a response definition breaks the request definition. With this release, we have changed this behavior, ensuring that only the response definition is changed when importing and not the request definition.
65 -
66 -//__Removing a flow does not update the API "all-entry" anymore__//
67 -When you removed a flow from Create, the API Gateway all-entry received a new version of the flow. With this release, we have changed this behavior so that this only happens when the flow you remove is an API-related flow and not when it is a messaging or event streaming flow.
68 -
69 -//__Stop deployment plan when a property is missing__//
70 -Currently, the execution of your deployment plan continues when eMagiz notices a missing property. As this is confusing for a user and not desirable, we have updated the logic to ensure that when this happens, the execution stops. This allows you to fill in the properties, and once filled in, you can continue with the remainder of the deployment plan.
71 -
72 -//__Cap stack trace of error messages and log entries__//
73 -To prevent that enormous stack traces of error messages and log entries need to be processed by various systems, we have now limited what is kept so only the relevant information is shown to the user.
