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.

45 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.

48 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.

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.
75 +//__Making Edit (and View) the default action when configuring parameters__//

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.
81 +//__Alphabetically sorted components in the flow designer__//
82 +As of this release, we now sort the components alphabetically in the flow designer.

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.
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.
83 83  
87 +//__Improved sorting on catalog overview__//
88 +As of this release, we now sort the topics in the catalog by name.
89 +
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.
