	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 worked hard on improving our next-generation architecture and introduced alerting functionality on top of our event streaming pattern based on user feedback. Furthermore, several smaller feedback items and bugs have been resolved with this release. So without further ado, let us dive into all we have to offer.
	8	+== ** Announcement - TLS 1.0 and 1.1 deprecated** ==
6	6
7		-== **Event streaming alerting** ==
	10	+Placeholder for info from Bas
8	8
9		-This release expands our alerting functionality into the event streaming pattern. As of now, one new "static" alert has been introduced for all clients (using event streaming), and two "dynamic" alerts have been introduced that you can configure yourself if there is a need for it.
	12	+{{info}}Text{{/info}}
10	10
11		-The "static" alert we have added raises an alert (and a subsequent email) when the actual topic size crosses the threshold of 80% of the configured maximum retention size on a topic. This alert provides insights into whether messages on it are deleted due to a size or time constraint. In cases where data is deleted, the topic was too full way before the messages should have been removed due to the retention hours constraint. This alert can indicate that messages might be deleted before consumer groups had the option to consume the messages.
	14	+== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
12	12
13		-The two "dynamic" alerts we have added mimic the alerting on the queue level we already offer to the community.
	16	+Placeholder for info from Jelle

	18	+{{warning}}Text{{/warning}}
16	16
17		-The first new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once the number of messages on one (or more topics) is less than a certain number per defined time unit. So, for example, you can configure an alert once the number of messages placed on a topic called "Exception" is less than 15 messages within 5 minutes.
	20	+== ** Updated release functionality - Infra flow selection** ==
18	18
19		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@197-release-blog--alert-config-example.png]]
	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		-The second new "dynamic" alert allows you to raise an alert once one (or more) consumer groups are more than X messages behind on one or more topics. The configuration of this is comparable to what we saw before.
	24	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
22	22
23		-For more information on the generic way of working surrounding alerting, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] and this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.Alerting.novice-alerting-dynamic-alerting.WebHome||target="blank"]].
	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.
24	24
25		-== **3rd generation improvements** ==
	28	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
26	26
27		-//__Increased grace period for shutdown__//
28		-In this release, we have increased a container's grace period to shut down before it is forcefully shut down. This should reduce the chance of unwanted failover behavior within your model.
	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.
29	29
30		-//__Update at once or not__//
31		-This release fixes and re-introduces the option to execute your actions on the eMagiz per zone or all at once when running in a double-lane Docker setup.
	32	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--context-menu-title.png]]
32	32
33		-//__Improved user feedback while executing a deployment plan__//
34		-This release introduces additional feedback to the user when the deployment plan is executed. This is noticeable when a step cannot be executed properly. The relevant information about why this cannot be executed is shown to the user. This way, they can take this information and act upon it instead of assuming everything went well.
	34	+== ** Updated deploy functionality on-premise - Multiple environments selection** ==
35	35
36		-//__Improved auto-healing when running in a hybrid situation__//
37		-In situations where you run in a hybrid situation (i.e., partly next-gen and partly the current generation), we have improved the auto-healing functionality in case an "out of memory" appears on a runtime running in the current generation but on a next-generation architecture.
	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}}
38	38
39		-//__Improved rollup and storage of metrics when running your solution in the next generation archticture__//
40		-To improve the stability of the Manage phase and, in particular, the metrics when zooming out on the provided information, we have made some structural changes that support this user functionality better.
	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.
41	41
42		-{{warning}} Due to this change, the platform will remove data collected before the release date in the upcoming weeks. This process will be finished at the beginning of June. From then on, all data before the 12th of May will no longer be visible. As users generally do not look back this far back in time, we consider this an acceptable trade-off. {{/warning}}

44		-== **Feedback items ** ==
	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.
45	45
46		-//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
47		-With this release, we have ensured that when you navigate to Design -> System message, you can see the message format (i.e., XML, JSON, or EDI) without entering the "Start Editing" mode.
	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.
48	48
49		-//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
50		-Various minor styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. Please check out the release notes for a complete list and more details.
	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.
51	51
	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.
	56	+
	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	+
52	52	== **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
53	53
54	54	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:
