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!** This release is characterized mainly by our efforts to bolster our 3rd generation runtime and all its interactions. Furthermore, some minor fixes and beta features will be released to the community.
8 +== ** Announcement - TLS versions deprecated** ==

7 -== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
10 +Placeholder for info from Bas

9 -This release will introduce various improvements for our 3rd generation runtime. Below you will find the most noteworthy enhancements we made to the 3rd generation runtime and its interaction with the portal.
12 +{{info}}Text{{/info}}
10 10  
11 -//__Migration of JMS backup configuration improved__//
12 -With this release, the configuration of the JMS backup configuration is improved to prevent potential connectivity issues after migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
14 +== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
13 13  
14 -//__Prechecks on Upgrade option made available for 3rd generation runtime__//
15 -As with the current runtime architecture, you can now also execute the prechecks before automatically upgrading to the latest cloud template on the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
16 +Placeholder for info from Jelle
16 16  
17 -//__Autogenerated exits can be deployed at once__//
18 -This release has fixed a bug that prevented you from deploying an exit flow correctly.
18 +{{warning}}Text{{/warning}}
19 19  
20 -//__Code mapping functionality available on 3rd generation runtime__//
21 -As of this release, code mapping functionality is also available for the 3rd generation runtime. This removes the restriction on migrating to the new 3rd generation runtime for our clients that use the code mapping functionality.
20 +== **Infra flow selection** ==
22 22  
23 -//__Improved the performance when activating a release__//
24 -With this release, the performance of activating a release has improved considerably. This means less waiting time when activating a release.
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.
25 25  
26 -//__Failing runtimes won't be restarted indefinitely anymore__//
27 -We have put a cap on this behavior to prevent your logs from exploding due to a failing runtime being restarted indefinitely. As of this release, five attempts will be made to restart a failing runtime. If the runtime can not start correctly after these attempts, the runtime will be stopped.

28 28  
29 -== **Exportable Release Audit** ~* ==
26 +In edit mode, you can select a new version via the right-click option, which you already use for other flows.
30 30  
31 -On top of that, we will also launch a new Beta feature to the community that allows you to export an audit document of your (Production) release.
28 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
32 32  
33 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@187-release-blog--flow-version-restore.png]]
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.
34 34  
35 -{{warning}}Note that the following restrictions apply when exporting an audit document:
36 - * Changes made on definition and transformation level are **not** restored
37 - * You will **not** be able to restore to any flow version that was created before October 17th, 2022
38 - * You will **not** be able to restore your flow to the original version created by eMagiz. You can use the reset function if you want this state back
39 - * Your restored flow version will **not** be automatically committed to Deploy{{/warning}}

41 -== **Feedback items ** ==
34 +== **Multiple environments selection** ==
42 42  
43 -We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
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  
45 -//__Data Sink Refactor__//
46 -We have made some infrastructural changes to how data sink messages are stored and can be retrieved from the portal. Should there be changes needed on your end, we will contact you separately.
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.
47 47  
48 -//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
49 -We have improved various display names to ensure that it is clear from the naming that store content can be implemented in all integration patterns.
42 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--multiple-environments.png]]
50 50  
51 -//__Press "Enter" to search on multiple pages__//
52 -In our Daemon Switch release, we added functionality that allowed you to press **Enter** to search on the property overview page. This release has added this functionality to many more pages across the portal. The complete list is as follows.
44 +== **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.

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.
68 68  
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.
52 +
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.
55 +
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.
58 +
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.
61 +
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 +
74 +== **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.
77 +
78 +//__Property configuration pop-up resized__//
79 +We have resized the property configuration overviews to make the property value better readable.
80 +
81 +//__Alphabetically sorted components in the flow designer__//
82 +As of this release, we now sort the components alphabetically in the flow designer.
83 +
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.
86 +
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.
