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.

6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, several improvements for pop-ups have been achieved.

14 +== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
14 14  
15 -//__Runtime deletion__//
16 -When deleting a runtime, the error message that is displayed is more descriptive. The error messages will now include the names of the flows that run on the container.
16 +Placeholder for info from Jelle
17 17  
18 -//__Wiretap & debug error messages__//
19 -The error messages that may be displayed when using wiretaps and the debugger have been improved, these are now more user friendly.
18 +{{warning}}Text{{/warning}}
20 20  
21 -//__Action messages__//
22 -The formatting of action messages regarding changes in retention bytes/hours has been improved. The action message will now display the correct, actual behaviour.
20 +== **Infra flow selection** ==
23 23  
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 -== **Formatting & Alignments** ==
24 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
26 26  
27 -//__Input fields__//
28 -Multiple input fields have been updated such that they expand when the amount of characters exceeds the default size. These updates were done to cater to large expressions.
26 +In edit mode, you can select a new version via the right-click option, which you already use for other flows.
29 29  
30 -//__UI improvements__//
31 -UI improvements for static input components have been done and the tooltip for optional/required toggles has been improved.
28 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
32 32  
33 -//__Component changes reversion__//
34 -In the flow designer a bug could occur where the changes to a component would be reverted if the editing pop-up would be kept open for some minutes without having saved the changes yet. This has been fixed.
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.
35 35  
36 -//__State generation statistics__//
37 -The state generation graphs will now show the correct number of cache hits and misses.
32 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--context-menu-title.png]]
38 38  
39 -//__Queue browser timestamps__//
40 -All timestamp formatting in the queue browser is now aligned to yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS.
34 +== **Multiple environments selection** ==
41 41  
42 -//__Addition and deletion of internal recipients__//
43 -Internal recipients are now added and deleted correctly. Before, an internal recipient could be added and thereafter deleted automatically when refreshing the page.
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}}
44 44  
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.
45 45  
42 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--multiple-environments.png]]
43 +
46 46  == **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 47  
48 -//__Update flows__//
49 -In Create > Resources, a button "Update flows" has been added to update versions of all flows in which a resource is used.
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 50  
51 -//__Q&A forum search__//
52 -The option to search by pressing the Enter key has been added to the Q&A forum.
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.
53 53  
54 -//__Memory settings__//
55 -It is now possible to change the memory settings of a container before pressing "Apply to environment". Before, it was only possible to view the memory settings if a container was running on AWS or running on a docker machine.
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.
56 56  
57 -//__Runtime validation__//
58 -Validation for runtimes that are moved from on premises to the cloud or vice versa has been improved.
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.
59 59  
60 -//__Runtime overview image versions__//
61 -Insight into invented and actual deployments has been improved. If the release version number on runtimes is different compared with the release, this is shown in the runtime overview.
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.
62 62  
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 +
63 63  == **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.
64 64  
65 -//__Removal of onramp__//
66 -We fixed an issue where it was not possible to remove the last onramp linked to a splitted entry (that was an all-entry before).
78 +//__Property configuration pop-up resized__//
79 +We have resized the property configuration overviews to make the property value better readable.
67 67  
68 -//__Runtime statistics details__//
69 -We fixed an issue where heap memory usage data was accumulating when zooming out in the runtime statistics details dashboards.
81 +//__Alphabetically sorted components in the flow designer__//
82 +As of this release, we now sort the components alphabetically in the flow designer.
70 70  
71 -//__Deployment prechecks__//
72 -During deployments prechecks will be done on runtimes that still have to be deployed from deploy architecture.
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.
73 73  
87 +//__Improved sorting on catalog overview__//
88 +As of this release, we now sort the topics in the catalog by name.
74 74  
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 +
75 75  == **Fancy Forum Answers** ==
76 76  
77 77  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:
