++**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.
--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have crossed our t's and dotted our i's on the release properties functionality that will impact the day to day life of every user working within the platform. The focus of the release blog will consequently also be on this subject. On top of that we have several additional smaller feedback item coming from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
++== ** Announcement - TLS versions deprecated** ==
--== **Release Properties** ==
--As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. There are several key changes compared to the current way of managing your properties.

--== ** Deploy Architecture - Apply To Environment improvements ** ==
--As of this release, we will show you a list of all changes about to be changed once you press "Apply to the environment" in Deploy Architecture. This will make it clearer for users, especially those working in teams, what will change when pressing this button.

++== **Infra flow selection** ==
--== ** Breadcrumb navigation in eMagiz ** ==
--This release introduces the "breadcrumb" navigation in certain parts of eMagiz. This will mostly be noticed and impact the Create phase when you check out your transformation or system message on the flow level. Apart from there, the navigation is implemented consistently across the portal for a unified look and feel.
++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.

++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
++In edit mode, you can select a new version via the right-click option, which you already use for other flows.
++
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
++
++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.

++== **Multiple environments selection** ==
++
++{{warning}}The following is only applicable under the following conditions:
++  * Windows 2022 server
++  * At least one port opened (as a consequence of a hosted web service){{/warning}}
++
++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.

++
  == **Feedback Items** ==
++//__Easier component selection in flow designer__//
++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.
--//__Improved layout of catalog page in Design__//
--We have improved the layout of the API Catalog overview in Design for our API Gateway users. Among others, we have introduced a scrollbar to get a better overview of several operations.
++//__Improved handling of optionality in JSON on lists__//
++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.
--//__Improved layout of "Edit integration" pop-up for API Gateway integrations__//
--Currently, the full path of your backend system will be shown when opening the "Edit integration" pop-up on your API Gateway integration.
++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.
--//__Additional help texts on Design Architecture__//
--We have improved the help texts in Design Architecture concerning the Event Streaming topic storage overview.
++//__Loading bar when searching for log entries__//
++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.
--//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
--In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
++//__Improved feedback when deleting elements from Capture__//
++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.
--//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
--This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
++//__Enhanced filter options in Manage__//
++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.
++//__Copy property names from Create__//
++This release unlocks the possibility of easily copying the name of a property placeholder so it can be used while deploying.
++
++//__Improved feedback during migration to the current runtime architecture__//
++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.
++
++//__Block user from making changes to their cloud while another upgrade is still in progress__//
++We now block users from changing their cloud configuration when another upgrade is ongoing.
++
++//__Cron trigger validation__//
++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.
++
  == **Bug Fixes** ==
++//__Making Edit (and View) the default action when configuring parameters__//
++We have made the Edit (and View) button the default action when configuring parameters in a transformation.
--//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
--To avoid unexpected behavior, we now ensure that nothing can be selected once you see the "deletion" pop-up when you want to remove something in the flow designer.
++//__Property configuration pop-up resized__//
++We have resized the property configuration overviews to make the property value better readable.
--//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
--We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
++//__Alphabetically sorted components in the flow designer__//
++As of this release, we now sort the components alphabetically in the flow designer.
--//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
--This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
++//__Improved sorting on runtime overview__//
++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.
--//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
--This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
++//__Improved sorting on catalog overview__//
++As of this release, we now sort the topics in the catalog by name.
++//__Styling fix on rich text editors__//
++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.
++
++//__Styling fix on release edit__//
++As of this release, the correct icon (green) will be shown when wanting to add a second API operation under the same "header."
++
++//__Removed false-positive alerts on transformations__//
++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.
++
++//__Event Streaming Graphs - view thirty days back__//
++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.
++
++//__Improved helptext__//
++We have improved various help texts across the portal to indicate better what should be filled in for specific fields.
