	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 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 smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.

7		-== **Release Properties** ==
8		-As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. This change intends to solidify the relationship between a release and a property value. Before, in the current generation architecture, the timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes in Production. On top of that, it could have been clearer whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something deployed. These considerations allow us to change the property management behavior in our next-generation architecture and our current-generation architecture. There are several fundamental changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notable among these are:
	10	+Placeholder for info from Bas
9	9
10		-* The current properties tab in Deploy will disappear. The new overview of the properties (and their values) can be found under the "Create phase release" in Deploy -> Releases
11		-* Property placeholders (i.e., the names of properties as given in Create) are now automatically created for you. As a result, you don't have to type them twice when working on an integration.
12		-* When adding or editing a property, you can **now** select multiple runtimes for which the property applies. This is mainly beneficial for those running in a double-lane setup or having a distributed landscape of containers.
13		-* A, for most, new concept of a "property release" is introduced. With the help of this functionality, you can easily change a property on Production without having to create an entirely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.

24		-== ** Manage - Graphs improvements ~*~* ** ==
25		-As of this release, we will create a condensed view of your metrics when zooming out in the Manage phase graphs. This will significantly improve the performance of the managed graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.
	20	+== ** Updated release functionality - Infra flow selection** ==
26	26
27		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@202-release-blog--manage-graphs-zoomed-out.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.

	24	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
	25	+
	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.
	27	+
	28	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
	29	+
	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.

	38	+ * Atleast 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 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	+
29	29	== **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.
30	30
31		-//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz without Edit rights in Create__//
32		-Without editing rights in the Create phase, you could already do a lot on the level of flow tests in eMagiz. However, there were some oversights we should have noticed during the implementation. These have been fixed, allowing those without edit rights to change the test case's name and description.
	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.
33	33
34		-//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
35		-To improve the audibility of Deploy Architecture, we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e., Fixed IP).
	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.
36	36
37		-//__Test your own exported store content__//
38		-We have now allowed testing of your exported work to the store before it gets approved. This will increase the quality of store items we have, and our partners have on offer within the store.
	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.
39	39
40		-{{info}}In case the concept of the store is new for you, please check out this [[Fundamental>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-emagiz-store.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
	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.
41	41
42		-//__Improved comparison of flows in the releases overview__//
43		-We have now made it possible to see the differences in the flow versions between the two releases for all three patterns.
	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.
44	44
45		-== **Bug Fixes** ==
	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.
46	46
47		-//__Improved validation on XPath header enricher__//
48		-To avoid unexpected behavior when filling in the XPath header enricher component, we have improved the validation on this component.
	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.
49	49
50		-//__Cancel behavior on flow testing property overview fixed__//
51		-We have ensured that when you press Cancel when editing a property needed in a flow test, the property placeholder will no longer disappear from the list.
	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.
52	52
53		-//__Cancel behavior on flow fragment level when exporting store content__//
54		-We have ensured that when you press Cancel when exporting a flow fragment, the flow fragment will no longer disappear from the list.
	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.
55	55
56		-//__Adding numbers on containers in Deploy Architecture__//
57		-With this release, we have made the first step in giving a clear overview of how many integrations for a certain runtime (i.e., container) are in your active release.
	76	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-215-tiny-tales-queue-name-validation.png]]
58	58
	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.

59	59	== **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
60	60
61	61	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:
