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.
	5	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have worked hard on improving the migration towards our next-generation architecture as well as improved the general behavior when running on the next-generation architecture. Furthermore, several improvements have been made to our own infrastructure to ensure that all data flowing via this infrastructure now more and more customers are migrating can be handled as good if not better as before.

	9	+//__"Stop" action when running a hybrid situation is not causing issues anymore__//
	10	+Before, it could happen when running a double-lane setup in a hybrid situation (i.e karaf based runtimes on top of the next-generation architecture) that the stop action on said runtime would not stop the runtime but "kill" it. With this release that behavior is changed.

12		-{{info}}Text{{/info}}
	12	+{{info}}Note that this fix is part of a new runtime image for the karaf based runtimes. The impact of this can be read [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-deploy-execute-deployment-plan-gen3.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}

14		-== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
	14	+//__Removed certain dependencies between Deploy Architecture and Releases__//
	15	+In this release, we have removed several specific dependencies that caused confusion between the functionality in the Deploy Architecture overview compared to the functionality that is linked to a release and specifically the deployment of a release.
15	15
16		-In the next release, we expect to release a major version of our current runtime base image. This image moves the eMagiz stack from Java 8 to Java 17, and from Spring Framework 5 to Spring Framework 6. Although eMagiz will try to make the transition as smooth as possible, we recommend that you start with the following preparations.
	17	+//__Improved validation errors on invalid configuration of HTTP outbound components__//
	18	+This release fixes and re-introduces the option to execute your actions on the eMagiz per zone or all at once when running in a double-lane Docker setup.
17	17
18		-{{warning}}
19		-* Make sure that your release is running on the latest flow versions. After the release of the new image, eMagiz will push new flow versions of components that have changes. These new flow versions must be included in the subsequent release. Having your release already on the latest flow versions makes this less affecting
20		-* To help you identify which flow versions are especially important here, you can consider all flows that contain any of the following components: Simple job launcher (data pipelines), Job explorer (data pipelines), HTTP components message sender (support object), Web service outbound gateway (with a 'message sender' attribute specified), SFTP session factory (support object), API gateways with OAuth2 as security mechanism.
21		-* We recommend identifying flows with (advanced) custom Groovy scripts. As our Java version changes and the Spring version changes, this may affect the availability of the libraries on the classpath, and therefore the validity of import statements. You can already test the Groovy script using the flow testing functionality as flow testing is already running on the Java 17 and Spring Framework 6 baseline.
22		-* In addition, the groovy version used has been moved from version 3.0.19 to 4.0.18. These changes may affect your scripts as well. These release notes outline the major changes
23		-The code handling SFTP file transfer has been overhauled completely. Although this should not affect you, we encourage you to test your SFTP integrations before deploying to Production.{{/warning}}
	20	+//__Improved migration behavior__//
	21	+This release introduces several improvements with regards to the migration behavior via "Transfer settings from Design". Among these are a smoother migration of your JMS (and backup JMS) process, additional feedback given to the user and feedback when the migration process is finished.
24	24
	23	+//__Improved auto-healing when running in a hybrid situation__//
	24	+In situations where you run in a hybrid situation (i.e., partly next-gen and partly the current generation), we have improved the auto-healing functionality in case an "out of memory" appears on a runtime running in the current generation but on a next-generation architecture.
25	25
26		-== **Infra flow selection** ==
	26	+//__Improved rollup and storage of metrics when running your solution in the next generation archticture__//
	27	+To improve the stability of the Manage phase and, in particular, the metrics when zooming out on the provided information, we have made some structural changes that support this user functionality better.
27	27
28		-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.
	29	+{{warning}} Due to this change, the platform will remove data collected before the release date in the upcoming weeks. This process will be finished at the beginning of June. From then on, all data before the 12th of May will no longer be visible. As users generally do not look back this far back in time, we consider this an acceptable trade-off. {{/warning}}

32		-In edit mode, you can select a new version via the right-click option, which you already use for other flows.
	33	+//__Make sure the message format can be viewed without "Start editing"__//
	34	+With this release, we have ensured that when you navigate to Design -> System message, you can see the message format (i.e., XML, JSON, or EDI) without entering the "Start Editing" mode.

	36	+//__Various styling improvements in the flow testing functionality__//
	37	+Various minor styling improvements have been added to the flow testing functionality to improve the overall user experience. Please check out the release notes for a complete list and more details.
35	35
36		-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.

44		- * At least one port opened (as a consequence of a hosted web service){{/warning}}
45		-
46		-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.

50		-== **Feedback Items** ==
51		-//__Easier component selection in flow designer__//
52		-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.
53		-
54		-//__Improved handling of optionality in JSON on lists__//
55		-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.
56		-
57		-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.
58		-
59		-//__Loading bar when searching for log entries__//
60		-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.
61		-
62		-//__Improved feedback when deleting elements from Capture__//
63		-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.
64		-
65		-//__Enhanced filter options in Manage__//
66		-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.
67		-
68		-//__Copy property names from Create__//
69		-This release unlocks the possibility of easily copying the name of a property placeholder so it can be used while deploying.
70		-
71		-//__Improved feedback during migration to the current runtime architecture__//
72		-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.
73		-
74		-//__Block user from making changes to their cloud while another upgrade is still in progress__//
75		-We now block users from changing their cloud configuration when another upgrade is ongoing.
76		-
77		-//__Cron trigger validation__//
78		-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.
79		-
80		-== **Bug Fixes** ==
81		-//__Making Edit (and View) the default action when configuring parameters__//
82		-We have made the Edit (and View) button the default action when configuring parameters in a transformation.
83		-
84		-//__Property configuration pop-up resized__//
85		-We have resized the property configuration overviews to make the property value better readable.
86		-
87		-//__Alphabetically sorted components in the flow designer__//
88		-As of this release, we now sort the components alphabetically in the flow designer.
89		-
90		-//__Improved sorting on runtime overview__//
91		-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.
92		-
93		-//__Improved sorting on catalog overview__//
94		-As of this release, we now sort the topics in the catalog by name.
95		-
96		-//__Styling fix on rich text editors__//
97		-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.
98		-
99		-//__Styling fix on release edit__//
100		-As of this release, the correct icon (green) will be shown when wanting to add a second API operation under the same "header."
101		-
102		-//__Removed false-positive alerts on transformations__//
103		-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.
104		-
105		-//__Event Streaming Graphs - view thirty days back__//
106		-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.
107		-
108		-//__Improved helptext__//
109		-We have improved various help texts across the portal to indicate better what should be filled in for specific fields.
