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.

6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we have invested our effort to improve the performance and experience of our platform in the Deploy phase. Next to that, we did several bug fixes, not only for the Deploy phase, but also for the Store. Lastly, we made some changes to the alerts that you may be receiving.

8 -== **Alerts** ==

10 -//__Topic approaching max size alert__//
11 -The alert ‘topic approaching maximum size’ has been temporarily disabled due to a high number of false positives.
12 +{{info}}{{/info}}
12 12  
13 -//__Missing metrics alert__//
14 -We solved an issue where the ‘missing metrics’ alert did not always contain the full container name.
14 +== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==

19 +
20 +== ** Updated release functionality - Infra flow selection** ==
21 +
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 +
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.
31 +
32 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--context-menu-title.png]]
33 +
34 +== ** Updated deploy functionality on-premise - Multiple environments selection** ==
35 +
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}}
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.
41 +
42 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--multiple-environments.png]]
43 +
16 16  == **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.
17 17  
18 -//__Container version overview__//
19 -In Deploy > Releases, it is now possible to see the container versions in the release details. This can be viewed by clicking the three dots in the Create phase section. By having this overview, you can check which versions of the containers that exist in Deploy Architecture are in the release.
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.
20 20  
21 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-blog-210-deployment-delights-container-overview.png]]
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.
22 22  
23 -//__Unchanged containers__//
24 -When deploying a new release, containers that have no changes between the deployed release and the new release will not be deployed and restarted. This decreases the deployment time and improves the performance.
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.
25 25  
26 -//__Rebuilding of images__//
27 -Changing the list of flows that should run on a container will now trigger the rebuilding of images.
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.
28 28  
29 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
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.
30 30  
31 -//__Runtime metrics processing__//
32 -The collection and publishing of runtime metrics is no longer synchronized across containers, which improves their processing.
33 33  
34 -//__Deployment plan__//
35 -We solved a bug where a deployment step in the execution of the deployment plan could randomly get stuck.
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.
36 36  
37 -//__View all store items__//
38 -An issue has been fixed where it was not possible to load more store items in the left panel in the Create phase Flow Designer.
68 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-215-tiny-tales-queue-name-validation.png]]
39 39  
40 -//__Out of memory behavior__//
41 -We improved the out of memory behavior of runtimes. Runtimes will now always restart when an out of memory error occurs.
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.
42 42  
43 -//__Max fetch size__//
44 -In the Flow Designer, we improved the help text of the advanced option of ‘max fetch size’ for the Mail Inbound Adapter component to better describe how that option affects the component's behavior.
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.

46 46  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
47 47  
48 48  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:
