	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!** Our release of the Private store functionality characterizes this release. This functionality allows some users to export content to a private store that is only accessible within the company and could be published to the public store of eMagiz. On top of that, we resolved some of the limitations on the 3rd generation runtime. Furthermore, some minor fixes and beta features will be released to the community.
	8	+== ** Announcement - TLS versions deprecated** ==
6	6
7		-== **Private Store** ==
8		-On top of our general store, in which eMagiz currently publishes Store content relevant to both the Design and Create phases of eMagiz, we have added the private store functionality. This store works precisely the same as the general store. However, only users belonging to the same company as the exporter can import the store content (after it is approved).
	10	+Placeholder for info from Bas
9	9
10		-{{warning}}Other users can see the store content but are not able to import the store content. They will be notified to them when they try to do so.{{/warning}}
	12	+{{info}}Text{{/info}}
11	11
12		-== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
	14	+== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
13	13
14		-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.
	16	+Placeholder for info from Jelle
15	15
16		-//__SOAP and REST web services migration, including splitting them__//
17		-With this release, we have released the migration process that will allow you to migrate SOAP and REST web services to the 3rd generation runtime. At the same time, you can directly split the all-entry to eliminate that construction. A specific migration path for this will be published in the documentation portal.
	18	+{{warning}}Text{{/warning}}
18	18
19		-//__Changing SSL settings for 3rd generation runtime models works__//
20		-As with the current runtime architecture, you can change the SSL settings if needed for a model running in the 3rd generation runtime.
	20	+== **Infra flow selection** ==
21	21
22		-//__Improved migration for JMS flows__//
23		-This release will improve the migration of JMS flows when migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
	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		-{{warning}}If you already migrated your JMS flow, you should execute a "Reset" action on the JMS level to get these changes in your model{{/warning}}
	24	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
26	26
27		-//__Removed the ability to add "Debug components" to a flow running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
28		-As of this release, you can no longer add debug components on a flow already migrated to the 3rd generation runtime. This functionality will not work in the 3rd generation runtime and would break your flow.
	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		-//__Deployment plan is updated correctly when completly migrated to the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
31		-We have fixed a bug that generated an incorrect default deployment plan once you were fully migrated to the 3rd generation runtime.
	28	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
32	32
33		-//__Correct property generation for Event Streaming flows using the 3rd generation runtime architecture__//
34		-With this release, the properties generated for Event Streaming flows running in the 3rd generation runtime are configured correctly to mimic the ones in the image.
	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		-//__Added "Reset" functionality__//
37		-With this release, a new functionality has been added for 3rd generation runtimes that allows you to combine several steps into one action, called "Reset runtime." The effect of this action is the same as it currently is in the legacy runtime.

38	38
39		-== **Feedback items ** ==
	34	+== **Multiple environments selection** ==
40	40
41		-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}}
42	42
43		-//__Improved naming convention on Store related pages__//
44		-We have improved various display names using the merge functionality within our store offering.
	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
46		-//__Update security protocols for our internal architecture__//
47		-Parts of our internal infrastructure (i.e., docs.emagiz.com) have been updated to adhere to the latest security standards.
	42	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--multiple-environments.png]]
48	48
49		-//__Improved read-only description for "if exists" constructions in Transformations__//
50		-To make it clear what the "if exists" check does while not being in "Start Editing" mode, we have improved the description so users without edit rights or without wanting to enter the "Start Editing" mode can read and interpret what the check does.
	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.
51	51
	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.
52	52
53		-== **Bug fixes ** ==
	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.
54	54
55		-//__Decent validation feedback when not filling in the property value__//
56		-We have fixed the validation feedback you get when not filling in the property value using the "Check properties" functionality.
	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.
57	57
58		-//__Incorrect resource locations__//
59		-We have fixed several instances where the resource location was not generated correctly in the 3rd generation runtime.
	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.
60	60
61		-//__Apply to environment in User Management performance improvement__//
62		-We have improved the performance of updating User Management on your environment. This way, the update functionality is more stable and faster.
	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.
63	63
	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.
	104	+
