++**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.
--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** It has been a while since our last deployment on the 9th of December. As a result, we have finished up a lot of new improvements to our 3rd generation runtime offering and fixed a variety of annoying bugs and some minor enhancements. This release is characterized by the significant steps we took to release several major features on our 3rd generation runtime, including the queue browser and message redelivery functionality.
++== ** Announcement - TLS versions deprecated** ==
--== **Queue Browser** ~*~* ==
++Placeholder for info from Bas
--{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime{{/warning}}
++{{info}}Text{{/info}}
--To enhance the observability of your integration landscape while running in the 3rd generation runtime architecture, we have added a new feature to our Manage phase called the "Queue browser." You can access this functionality via the "Explore" menu in Manage. Then, with the help of the queue browser, you can browse your queue as the name suggests.
++== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
--To do so, we offer two options within this functionality. First, we have the Explore function, and we have the Wiretap function. When selecting a queue and opting for the Explore option, you get a live view of the current data in the queue. Then, when choosing the Wiretap functionality, you automatically wiretap your queue and are presented with copies (on a particular queue) of your actual message that passes through the queue from the moment you press the Wiretap button.
++Placeholder for info from Jelle
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-overview.png]]
++{{warning}}Text{{/warning}}
--After selecting the queue and choosing the option, eMagiz will show you the list of messages (oldest first) that are currently on the queue (Explore option), or that passed the queue since the moment you activate the option (Wiretap option). For each message, you have various options at your disposal.
++== **Infra flow selection** ==
--* Delete the message from the queue (Explore option)
--  ** This means throwing away live data, which can be helpful in a test or acceptance environment where you inadvertently put many messages on a queue.
--* Clear message from the wiretap queue (Wiretap option)
--  ** Once you are done with the analysis of a specific message in the wiretap functionality, you can clear it from the overview so it does not clutter the view anymore
--* Refresh messages list (both options)
--  ** By pressing this button, you can refresh the list of messages displayed to you. Note that the list is sorted in such a way that the oldest messages are shown first
--* Save as test message
--  ** By pressing this button, you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create. Note that we link the message to the corresponding flow if we can. Should we not be able to do so, we link the message to your model so you can still use it in the flow testing functionality.
--* Download
--  ** By pressing this button, you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.
++This release will include a major update of our release functionality through which you can configure your release. As of now eMagiz will provide you with the option to visually see changes on infra flow level.

++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--queue-browser-wiretap-overview.png]]
++When you are in edit mode you can select a new version via the right-click option as you were used to for other flows.
--{{info}}The following restrictions apply to this functionality:
--  * Message payload in excess of 100KB are not shown in the queue browser as they constitute a "large message"
--  * The wiretap functionality works for a period of five minutes in which you can use the refresh button to see new messages coming in.
--    ** After five minutes the wiretap functionality will be shutdown automatically under water.
--    ** To see new messages after the five minutes you will have to access the wiretap functionality again from scratch.{{/info}}
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
--== **Message Redelivery ** ~*~* ==
++On top of that we have added an title to each context menu that specifies the flow type (i.e. exit connector, container infra, connector infra) for additional clarity while constructing your release.
--{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime, and the functionality is enabled for your environment.{{/warning}}

--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--message-redelivery-overview.png]]
++== **Multiple environments selection** ==
--As with our current offering, we now offer our message redelivery functionality for our 3rd generation architecture. To enhance the user experience, we have placed this functionality under the "Explore" option in Manage. When selecting the message redelivery option, you will see all messages that currently need to be redelivered (as an error occurred).
++{{warning}}The following is only applicable under the following conditions:
++  * Windows 2022 server
++  * Atleast one port opened (as a consequence of a hosted web service){{/warning}}
--As in the current functionality, you can select a specific message and retry (or delete) it. The same can be done for all messages at once. Following that, you can still see the linked error message as you could before.
++When configuring your Deploy Agent you now have an additional option that can be activated by the user. With the help of this checkbox you unlock the possibility of stabily running multiple deploy agents on one machine.
--On top of that, we have added some additional functionality.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--multiple-environments.png]]
--* Search option
--  ** Original queue name
--  ** Original message ID (which can be found as a header called jms_messageid in the error message view)
--* Save as test message
--  ** By pressing this button, you can save the message and use it in our flow testing functionality in Create.
--* Download
--  ** By pressing this button, you can download the message and use it outside of the tooling should that be needed.
++== **Feedback Items** ==
++//__Easier component selection in flow designer__//
++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.
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@190-release-blog--message-redelivery-detail-overview.png]]
++//__Improved handling of optionality in JSON on lists__//
++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.
--== **3rd generation runtime bolstering** ==
++//__Loading bar when searching for log entries__//
++To indicate to the user that eMagiz is still busy retrieving log entries we have now added a loading bar to the log entry overview upon pressing search.
--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.
++//__Improved feedback when deleting elements from Capture__//
++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.
--//__Define memory settings for on-premise runtimes from Deploy Architecture__//
--With this release, you can now define the memory settings (and, therefore, the memory limits) of your on-premise runtimes in the same manner as cloud runtimes. In all cases, you can now define and change the memory settings via Deploy Architecture. In contrast to how these values are actualized for cloud runtimes, you need to create a new release and deploy it to actualize the changes on-premise.
++//__Enhanced filter options in Manage__//
++With this release we have added filter options on both the Alerting tab and the Trigger configuration pop-up. This results in being able to filter on Status (Alerting) and Queues, Topics, Recipients, and more (Trigger configuration pop-up) in these places.
--//__Empty runtime feedback when deploying a release (or setting the release as active)__//
--To prevent you are not being able to deploy a release to your environment due to a mismatch between what is in your release and Deploy Architecture, we have now added a feedback pop-up when deploying a release that notifies you for which runtimes there is a mismatch between your release and Deploy Architecture.
++//__Copy property names from Create__//
++This release unlocks the possibility to easily copy the name of a property placeholder so it can be used whilst deploying.
--//__Auto-fill namespaces for SOAP hosted webservices__//
--Based on your configuration in Design, eMagiz will now auto-fill the namespace when you host a SOAP web service. This avoids any potential problems in validating messages.
++//__Improved feedback during migration to the current-runtime architecture__//
++We have improved the feedback should you try to migrate the JMS before any other runtime under Create -> Settings.
--//__Updated H2 database setting__//
--As of this release, we have improved the configuration of our H2 databases used within eMagiz. This new setting will ensure the runtime controls when the H2 database is shut down.
++//__Block user from making changes to their cloud whilst another upgrade is still in progress__//
++We now block the user from making changes to their cloud configuration when another upgrade is still in progress.
--{{warning}}If you already migrated your runtime, you should execute a "Reset" action on the infra flow to get these changes in your model{{/warning}}
++//__Cron trigger validation__//
++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.
--//__Runtime settings option added to context menu on runtime level Deploy Architecture__//
--As a replacement for the current HTTP settings context menu, we added a new menu item called runtime settings. On top of being able to configure your HTTP settings (which you need to define for a hosted web service), you now also can define whether the control bus needs to work for this runtime.
++== **Bug Fixes** ==
++//__Queue name validation__//
++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.
--//__Deploy Agent option added to context menu on machine level Deploy Architecture__//
--With this release, we have added a context menu item allowing users to deploy the agent needed to run your 3rd generation architecture on-premise. For more information on installing this, please check out this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Expert Level.Solution Architecture.expert-solution-architecture-onpremises-installguide.WebHome||target="blank"]]
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-215-tiny-tales-queue-name-validation.png]]
--//__Performance improvement creating a release__//
--With this release, we have improved the performance of creating a release.
++//__Removal of onramp__//
++An issue has been fixed where removing an onramp that was previously linked to a combined entry was impossible in the Create phase.
--== **Feedback items ** ==
++//__eMagiz login__//
++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.
--We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
--
--//__Sensitive information stored in properties is masked __//
--We have made how we display sensitive information across the portal similar for various parts of the portal.
--
--//__Importing "Private" store content to which you do not have access__//
--We have improved the user feedback a user will get when trying to import a "Private" store item unavailable to the user.
--
--
--== **Bug fixes ** ==
--
--//__Fix the possibility that allowed you to break the system message when dealing with the "Order matters" functionality__//
--We have fixed the possibility you had that would break your system message upon validating it in Create when using the "Order matters" functionality.
--
--//__Synchronization of Event Streaming topic states__//
--We fixed synchronization issues that could occur when several changes were executed on a model that uses a fast amount of topics.
--
--//__Copy and paste default support objects__//
--With this release, you can now copy and paste components without worrying that additional support objects already existing in your target flow are copied over and over into the same flow.
--
--//__Fix editability of properties when importing store items__//
--With this release, you can once again change property names upon importing a store item.
