	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, select infra flows in a release, and deploy multiple agents to a single machine that adheres to specific conditions. But before we dive into all that has changed, we will publish several announcements via this release blog (and other channels) to prepare your model for upcoming major changes.

5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving various aspects of our home. Among others we have improved the logging, alerting, and security of our next-generation architecture. On top of that we have improved the inner workings of the store and the certificate management for those of us using the Event Streaming pattern.

9		-//__Enhanced overview of the HTTP Statistics__//
10		-As of now all resources that have been called atleast once since deploying them will now show up in the left-bottom graph of the HTTP Statistics. This will make it easier to see whether a particular operation was called within a timeframe. On top of that it makes comparing data on various operations easier. In here you can also filter on one (by pressing the + icon) or more by clicking on the filter icon. In case you want to sort the table in a different manner you can click on the name of the column on which you want to sort.

12		-//__Reason why runtime cannot start is now in the vast majority of cases reported back__//
13		-In this release, we have improved the way we report failures during startup of runtimes. This will ensure that it becomes much easier to pinpoint what went wrong upon startup.
	14	+== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
14	14
15		-{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the next-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}

17		-//__Forced congestion control__//
18		-To reduce the number of repeating mails within a 10 minute window we have now forced congestion control on all alerts generated via the platform.
	18	+{{warning}}Text{{/warning}}
19	19
20		-//__Unused images are cleaned up__//
21		-This release improves the way in which images are kept. To avoid a lot of old and unused images on our systems and our systems we now (on default) cleanup old images that are not used anymore. Should you wish to keep the images and manually remove them on your own server you can deactivate this behavior per "Deploy machine" step in your deployment plan.
	20	+== **Infra flow selection** ==
22	22
23		-== **Store Improvements** ==
	22	+This release will include a significant update to our release functionality, which allows you to configure your release. Presently, eMagiz will allow you to see changes on the infra-flow level visually.
24	24
25		-//__Improved importing behavior for specific use cases__//
26		-Before, it could happen that a certain placeholder that contained an asterisk were imported incorrectly. This has now been fixed to ensure that the correct import behavior is experienced by our users.

27	27
28		-//__Fixed bug in creating a message mapping on top of an imported system message__//
29		-It is now possbile to create a message mapping to an imported system message from the store.
	26	+In edit mode, you can select a new version via the right-click option, which you already use for other flows.

31		-== **Event Streaming - Certificate Management** ==
	28	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
32	32
33		-//__Expired certification notification__//
34		-As of now we have functionality in place that will inform you (and us) when a client certificate of an Event Streaming user is going to expire within the upcoming three months. This way you can take action early on and report back that the update was succesfull so we can revoke the expiring client certificate accordingly. If you want specific information on this please reach out to us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
	30	+We have also added a title to each context menu that specifies the flow type (e.g., exit connector, container infra, connector infra) for additional clarity while constructing your release.

	34	+== **Multiple environments selection** ==
	35	+
	36	+{{warning}}The following is only applicable under the following conditions:
	37	+ * Windows 2022 server
	38	+ * At least one port opened (as a consequence of a hosted web service){{/warning}}
	39	+
	40	+When configuring your Deploy Agent, you now have an additional option that the user can activate. This checkbox unlocks the possibility of stability when running multiple deploy agents on one machine.

	43	+
	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 displayed close to the edge of the canvas. Expanding the area allows you to select these components, which will become much easier.
	47	+
	48	+//__Improved handling of optionality in JSON on lists__//
	49	+Previously, eMagiz always created a JSON array if your data model expected a list. This led to unexpected and undesirable behavior of the message, as empty arrays are not always accepted by external parties.
	50	+
	51	+With this release, we have changed the way in which we generate the JSON output should there be an empty list. Consequently, the empty list will **not** be part of the output anymore, as desired.
	52	+
	53	+//__Loading bar when searching for log entries__//
	54	+To indicate to the user that eMagiz is still busy retrieving log entries, we have added a loading bar to the log entry overview upon pressing search.
	55	+
	56	+//__Improved feedback when deleting elements from Capture__//
	57	+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.
	58	+
	59	+//__Enhanced filter options in Manage__//
	60	+With this release, we have added filter options on both the Alerting tab and the Trigger configuration pop-up. This allows users to filter on Status (Alerting) and Queues, Topics, Recipients, and more (Trigger configuration pop-up) in these places.
	61	+
	62	+//__Copy property names from Create__//
	63	+This release unlocks the possibility of easily copying the name of a property placeholder so it can be used while deploying.
	64	+
	65	+//__Improved feedback during migration to the current runtime architecture__//
	66	+Should you try to migrate the JMS before any other runtime under Create -> Settings, we have improved the feedback. This feedback will tell you why you cannot migrate in this order.
	67	+
	68	+//__Block user from making changes to their cloud while another upgrade is still in progress__//
	69	+We now block users from changing their cloud configuration when another upgrade is ongoing.
	70	+
	71	+//__Cron trigger validation__//
	72	+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.
	73	+
	74	+== **Bug Fixes** ==
	75	+//__Making Edit (and View) the default action when configuring parameters__//
	76	+We have made the Edit (and View) button the default action when configuring parameters in a transformation.
	77	+
	78	+//__Property configuration pop-up resized__//
	79	+We have resized the property configuration overviews to make the property value better readable.
	80	+
	81	+//__Alphabetically sorted components in the flow designer__//
	82	+As of this release, we now sort the components alphabetically in the flow designer.
	83	+
	84	+//__Improved sorting on runtime overview__//
	85	+As of this release, we now sort the runtimes in the runtime overview correctly by time. This means that the runtime with a changed status, closest to the current date and time, is shown at the top of the list. This should reduce the chance of overlooking a critical mistake.
	86	+
	87	+//__Improved sorting on catalog overview__//
	88	+As of this release, we now sort the topics in the catalog by name.
	89	+
	90	+//__Styling fix on rich text editors__//
	91	+Rich text editors are used in various parts of the portal. This release fixes a broken styling configuration that made it difficult to fill in information in these editors.
	92	+
	93	+//__Styling fix on release edit__//
	94	+As of this release, the correct icon (green) will be shown when wanting to add a second API operation under the same "header."
	95	+
	96	+//__Removed false-positive alerts on transformations__//
	97	+When transforming a string to a non-empty string, eMagiz would also show an alert even if the user made a check to avoid an empty string as output. This behavior is now corrected. This will significantly reduce the number of alerts you will see as a user within the context of your transformation.
	98	+
	99	+//__Event Streaming Graphs - view thirty days back__//
	100	+Just like the other views, we now also provide the user with a default thirty-day window to analyze relevant statistics related to event streaming further.
	101	+
	102	+//__Improved helptext__//
	103	+We have improved various help texts across the portal to indicate better what should be filled in for specific fields.
	104	+
36	36	== **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
37	37
38	38	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:
