	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 couple of weeks we had our quarterly "hackathon" in which we fixed a series of annoying bugs and introduced many small improvements. On top of that we also finished several additional features for our 3rd generation runtime that will make your life while running on the 3rd generation runtime easier and better manageable. Among the additional features we have the dynamic alerting and the debugger functionality.
	8	+== ** Announcement - TLS versions deprecated** ==

	12	+{{info}}Text{{/info}}
10	10
11		-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 "Dynamic Alerts." You can access this functionality via the "Alerting" menu in Manage. Then, with the help of the "Trigger" overview, you can view all triggers on your environment. On the top of the list you will see all "static" alerts as defined by eMagiz. Below that you will see all "dynamic" alerts that you and your fellow teammembers (with sufficient rights) can view, edit and delete.
	14	+== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
12	12
13		-We offer alerting on five types.
	16	+Placeholder for info from Jelle

15		-* Error message
16		-* Log message
17		-* Queue consumers
18		-* Messages in queue

21		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--dynamic-alert-trigger-options.png]]
	20	+== **Infra flow selection** ==
22	22
23		-These five options give you the option to configure more or less the same as you are currently used to when configuring triggers. Once you make a choice for a type you can press the "Next" button to fill in the details of the trigger. One example of how this can look is shown below.
	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	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
26	26
27		-Once the trigger tab is filled in you can navigate to the "Output" tab to select the recipients for the trigger you are configuring. On top of that you can reduce the number of message at which congestion control is enabled if ten is too high for you.
	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		-== **Debugger ** ~*~* ~* ==
	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.
32	32
33		-{{warning}}Note that this functionality only works when the following criteria are met.
34		-* Your JMS server is running on the 3rd generation runtime
35		-* The store item called "3rd generation debugger" is imported in the infra flow of each runtime for which you want the ability to debug
36		-* The beta image is activated
37		-* A new release is created that includes the flow changes and this release is deployed to the environment(s){{/warning}}
	32	+[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--context-menu-title.png]]
38	38
39		-As with our current offering, we now offer a functionality with which you can debug channels and see them via the eMagiz portal. As stated above to get to this point you need to execute several steps to get your model ready to be "debugged". Once you have done this you can activate the "debug" mode, via Deploy -> Containers for **one** specific flow **per** runtime that is of particular interest to you. Once you have done this you will see a pop-up telling you whether the "debug" mode was indeed activated or not.
	34	+== **Multiple environments selection** ==
40	40
41		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-action-success.png]]
	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		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-action-failure.png]]
	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.
44	44
45		-Assuming it was activated correctly you can navigate to Manage -> Explore -> Queue browser and select the emagiz.debug queue to see the messages coming through.

47		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--debugger-output-queue-browser.png]]
	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	48
49		-{{info}}Note the following limitations when working with the debugger.
50		- * Your entire model needs to be migrated to the 3rd generation runtime
51		- * Only **one** flow **per** runtime can be debugged **per** environment
52		- * There is only **one** overview in which **all** debugged messages are shown
53		- * Message payload in excess of 100KB are not shown in the queue browser as they constitute a "large message"
54		- * The debug functionality works for a period of five minutes in which you can use the refresh button to see new messages coming in.
55		- ** After five minutes the debug functionality will be shutdown automatically under water.
56		- ** To see new messages after the five minutes you will have to access the debug functionality again from scratch.{{/info}}
	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.
57	57
58		-== **Volume mapping - Network Share** ==
	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.
59	59
60		-This release will introduce an additional functionality within our [[volume mapping>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.File based connectivity.novice-file-based-connectivity-volume-mapping-on-premise||target="blank"]] offering. With this additional configuration option you can configure a network share and configure it to create a mapping between a network share and a docker volume.
	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.
61	61
62		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--volume-mapping-network-share-overview.png]]
	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.
63	63
64		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@191-release-blog--volume-mapping-network-share-detail.png]]
	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.
65	65
66		-== **Feedback items ** ==
	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.
67	67
68		-We have also solved other feedback items besides the flow designer's critical updates.
	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.
69	69
70		-//__Improved validation feedback on non-supported WSS4J interceptor __//
71		-We have improved the validation feedback when someone tries to implement a specific WSS4J interceptor implementation.
	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.
72	72
73		-//__Improve help text in flow testing on Java classes__//
74		-We have improved the helptext when you are adding headers to your test message. In this helptext we explain the top five Java classes and how to note them down to make it work in the flow testing functionality and in eMagiz in general.
	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.
75	75
76		-//__Improved readibility of notification when trying to delete a runtime__//
77		-When you have forgotten one or more steps when deleting a runtime you will be notified by the system on this. With this release we have improved the readibility of the notification.
	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.
78	78
79		-== **Bug fixes ** ==
	78	+//__Property configuration pop-up resized__//
	79	+We have resized the property configuration overviews to make the property value better readable.
80	80
81		-//__Keep selection when copying properties__//
82		-We have fixed the bug that prevented you from easily copying properties from one runtime to another based on the runtime list.
	81	+//__Alphabetically sorted components in the flow designer__//
	82	+As of this release, we now sort the components alphabetically in the flow designer.
83	83
84		-//__Check on security header improved for API Gateway__//
85		-We improved the check in the API Gateway through which we validate whether an API caller is authenticated when using the API Key method to secure the API Gateway.
	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	86
87		-//__Copy and paste default support objects__//
88		-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.
	87	+//__Improved sorting on catalog overview__//
	88	+As of this release, we now sort the topics in the catalog by name.
89	89
90		-//__Fix editability of properties when importing store items__//
91		-With this release, you can once again change property names upon importing a store item.
	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	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	+
