	6	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** As part of our alignment week we also had a hackathon event focusing on a wide array of reported feedback on the portal. The majority of the release blog will be focused on this. On top of that we launch new functionality that makes it easier to transform to JSON, to select infra flows in a release, and makes it possible to deploy multiple agents to a single machine that adheres to specific conditions. Furthermore, several announcements will be made via this release blog (and other channels) to better prepare your model for upcoming major changes.

5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have work hard on improving our next generation architecture and introduced the "live" mode within our flow testing functionality. Furthermore there are loads of smaller feedback items and bugs that have been resolved with this release. So without further ado let us dive into all we have to offer.

9		-With this release we bring an improved version of the flow testing functionality. As of now you will have the option to switch between "live" and "mock" mode will running a flow test. The "mock" mode is the mode you are used to from us. In this mode all external communication is mocked by the system and only the functional process can be tested.
	12	+{{info}}Text{{/info}}
10	10
11		-By switching to "live" mode you can not only test the functional process but also the communication to the external system. You can do so by entering the "edit" mode of the flow test and toggle between "mock" and "live" mode. When doing so eMagiz will show you the following pop-up stressing the consequences of your actions.
	14	+== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==

	20	+== ** Updated release functionality - Infra flow selection** ==
18	18
19		-== **3rd generation improvements** ==
	22	+This release will include a major update of our release functionality through which you can configure your release. As of now eMagiz will provide you with the option to visually see changes on infra flow level.
20	20
21		-//__Event Streaming statistics completion__//
22		-In this release, we have updated the retrieval of data to ensure that for all models, all environments and all topics this data can be shown to the user so they can properly monitor the environment.
	24	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
23	23
24		-//__Deployments on next generation architecture__//
25		-This release fixes several smaller bugs and adds several improvements to the deployment process of the next generation architecture.
	26	+When you are in edit mode you can select a new version via the right-click option as you were used to for other flows.
26	26
27		-//__Clean queues option__//
28		-This release introduces an option for **admins** to clean queues that remained after a migration towards the next generation runtime architecture. This will make the overview of which queues are "problematic" a much more realistic overview.
	28	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
29	29
30		-== **Feedback items ** ==
	30	+On top of that we have added an title to each context menu that specifies the flow type (i.e. exit connector, container infra, connector infra) for additional clarity while constructing your release.
31	31
32		-//__On-premise containers are started upon slot wakeup__//
33		-With this release, we have added additional functionality to models running in the next generation runtime architecture. With this improvement all on-premise containers are stopped when the cloud slot goes to sleep and are woken up once the slot is woken up in the morning.
	32	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--context-menu-title.png]]
34	34
35		-//__See Fixed IP in Deploy Architecture__//
36		-To improve our cloud offerings' we now display the configured fixed IP on your cloud connectors. This will unlock you as the user to easily communicate this value to external parties without involvement on our end.
	34	+== ** Updated deploy functionality on-premise - Multiple environments selection** ==
37	37
38		-//__Resource path is shown to the user__//
39		-You can now, without downloading, see the resource path of a resource by viewing the metadata of the resource. You can do so by pressing the "eye" icon to view this information.
	36	+{{warning}}The following is only applicable under the following conditions:
	37	+ * Windows 2022 server
	38	+ * Atleast one port opened (as a consequence of a hosted web service){{/warning}}
40	40
41		-//__Flow designer improvements__//
42		-With this release various improvements have been made to the flow designer. Among others we have improved the overview of what an "unused resource" is. You now have the option to define certain resources that are used but cannot be auto-detected by eMagiz to be an "used" resource to avoid confusion.
	40	+When configuring your Deploy Agent you now have an additional option that can be activated by the user. With the help of this checkbox you unlock the possibility of stabily running multiple deploy agents on one machine.
43	43
44		-//__Improved capabilities of a company contact__//
45		-With this release we have improved the capabilities of a company contact. As of now you can also add users to models belonging to subcompanies below your the company to which you are the company contact.

47		-== **Bug fixes ** ==
	44	+== **Feedback Items** ==
	45	+//__Easier component selection in flow designer__//
	46	+The area selector through which you can select one or more components has improved to allow for an easier selection of said components when they are displayed closed to the edge of the canvas. By expanding the area you can select the selection of these components will become much easier.
48	48
49		-//__Optional API parameters are handled correctly__//
50		-Currently, eMagiz would create the wrong expression for handling optional API parameters. With this release we have improved the expression in such a way that all optional parameters are handled correctly out of the box.
	48	+//__Improved handling of optionality in JSON on lists__//
	49	+Previously, eMagiz would always create a JSON array if your data model expected a list. This would lead to unexpected and undesirable behavior of the message as empty arrays are not always accepted by external parties. With this release we have changed the way in which we generate the JSON output should there be an empty list in the output. Consequently the empty list will **not** be part of the output anymore as desired.
51	51
52		-//__Without CDM rights nothing related to any data model can be edited anymore__//
53		-With this release, we have made sure that nothing related to any data model can be edited without having the proper rights.
	51	+//__Loading bar when searching for log entries__//
	52	+To indicate to the user that eMagiz is still busy retrieving log entries we have now added a loading bar to the log entry overview upon pressing search.
54	54
55		-//__Improved sorting of Design and Deploy archticture__//
56		-With this release, we now ensure that both Design and Deploy architecture are sorted in the same manner to avoid confusion when quickly switching between both views.
	54	+//__Improved feedback when deleting elements from Capture__//
	55	+To better specify to the user which integration or system the user intends to delete we have improved the text in the confirmation pop-up. This way we can provide more information to the user to avoid mistakes.
57	57
	57	+//__Enhanced filter options in Manage__//
	58	+With this release we have added filter options on both the Alerting tab and the Trigger configuration pop-up. This results in being able to filter on Status (Alerting) and Queues, Topics, Recipients, and more (Trigger configuration pop-up) in these places.
	59	+
	60	+//__Copy property names from Create__//
	61	+This release unlocks the possibility to easily copy the name of a property placeholder so it can be used whilst deploying.
	62	+
	63	+//__Improved feedback during migration to the current-runtime architecture__//
	64	+We have improved the feedback should you try to migrate the JMS before any other runtime under Create -> Settings.
	65	+
	66	+//__Block user from making changes to their cloud whilst another upgrade is still in progress__//
	67	+We now block the user from making changes to their cloud configuration when another upgrade is still in progress.
	68	+
	69	+//__Cron trigger validation__//
	70	+We have added a validation check upon saving a cron expression in the Flow Designer to avoid flows not starting due to a misconfigured cron expression.
	71	+
	72	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
	73	+//__Queue name validation__//
	74	+The validation regarding undesired spaces for components that use a queue name has been improved. Specifically, users are now prevented from creating a queue name with a space in the queue name when editing this in the Create phase in the Flow Designer.
	75	+
	76	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-215-tiny-tales-queue-name-validation.png]]
	77	+
	78	+//__Removal of onramp__//
	79	+An issue has been fixed where removing an onramp that was previously linked to a combined entry was impossible in the Create phase.
	80	+
	81	+//__eMagiz login__//
	82	+In the login screen, users can now press "enter" to log in when the username field is selected. Previously, this was only the case for the password field.
	83	+
