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 a lot of things that are unfortunately not quite ready to be released. As a result the output of this release is limited. Having said that we still bring some key improvements in the Deploy and Manage phase that would make life much easier.
8 +== ** Announcement - TLS 1.0 and 1.1 deprecated** ==

7 -== **Next generation improvements and bug fixes** ==
10 +Placeholder for info from Bas
8 8  
9 -//__Enhanced right-hand view within Deployment Plan context__//
10 -When executing your deployment plan we will show specific log entries of the info category that indicate that a container (i.e. runtime) has started up correctly. On top of that we show the warnings and errors in this overview.
12 +{{info}}{{/info}}
11 11  
12 -{{info}}Note that when the JMS container gets restarted connection errors in the logs are a normal thing to witness so keep your eyes peeled for the startup logging on JMS level to gain confidence in the deployment.{{/info}}
14 +== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
13 13  
14 -//__Improved timeout settings when deploying__//
15 -To avoid mismatches between various parts of the infrastructure we have improved the timeout configuration on certain deployment plan steps to reduce the chance that these mismatches occur.
16 +Placeholder for info from Jelle
16 16  
17 -{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the current-generation runtimes. The release notes of this can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
18 +{{warning}}{{/warning}}
18 18  
19 -//__Detailed HTTP Statistics now show user info in specific additional cases__//
20 -To solve a bug for a specific client we changed the logic to show the user info (i.e. first part of the api key) in a specific implementation just as we already do in our standard implementations.
20 +== ** Updated release functionality - Infra flow selection** ==
21 21  
22 -{{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}}
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.
23 23  
24 -//__Improved loading speed of Manage Dashboard__//
25 -This release improves the loading speed with which all the dashboards in Manage are shown to the user. This will enhance the user experience within the Manage phase.
24 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
26 26  
27 -== **Store Improvements** ==
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.
28 28  
29 -//__Importing in Design is improved__//
30 -We have solved a bug that could cause issues when importing something in Design while the accompanying integration was not yet in Create.
28 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
31 31  
32 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
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.
33 33  
34 -//__Deprecated reminder pop-up removed__//
35 -We have removed a reminder pop-up on a pending cloud template as it was deprecated and could cause issues when using it in communication with other systems.
32 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--context-menu-title.png]]
36 36  
37 -//__Improved selection area in Flow Designer__//
38 -When working on a large flow you can now select specific areas easily while you are scrolled down further down the flow.
34 +== ** Updated deploy functionality on-premise - Multiple environments selection** ==
39 39  
40 -//__Improved Kafka settings__//
41 -For all flows that use a Kafka related component within the flow designer we will run a migration to update every single one of them to the new best practices and create a new flow version for them.
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}}
42 42  
43 -{{info}}We strongly encourage all users that use these components to update to these new best practices as they increase stability of the cluster and throughput of the solution{{/info}}
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.
44 44  
42 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--multiple-environments.png]]
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 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.
47 +
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.
50 +
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.
53 +
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 +
64 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
65 +//__Queue name validation__//
66 +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.
67 +
68 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-215-tiny-tales-queue-name-validation.png]]
69 +
70 +//__Removal of onramp__//
71 +An issue has been fixed where removing an onramp that was previously linked to a combined entry was impossible in the Create phase.
72 +
73 +//__eMagiz login__//
74 +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.
75 +
