++**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.
--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we worked hard on API improvements and 3rd generation improvements for you all to see. Amongst the API improvements we now introduce the option to define REST/XML structures in your API gateway for your API callers to call. This brings more options to the user community in setting up the API Gateway structure in accordance with the needs and desires of the client. On top of that we have released several 3rd generation improvements. Amongst these we will add WS-Security functionality to the runtime and improvements on viewing release properties. Furthermore we have released new cloud templates to improve security in our current runtime and improve the auto-healing for 3rd generation runtime cloud slots. Last but not least we release the first adaptation of "State generation" that can be implemented with the help of us in your model. In the upcoming monts we will gather feedback from actual client cases and improve on this functionality.
++== ** Announcement - TLS versions deprecated** ==
--== **REST XML for API Gateway** ==
++Placeholder for info from Bas
--{{warning}}Note that a decision needs to be made to select XML or JSON as default format for all your operations hosted in your API Gateway.{{/warning}}
++{{info}}Text{{/info}}
--To enhance your options when developing an API gateway that can be called by others we now introduce the option to select XML as the default message format on your API Gateway pattern. You can do this under Design -> Settings -> API Management. In here you can select and edit the settings.
++== **Announcement - Spring 6** ==
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@193-release-blog--rest-xml-default-setting.png]]
++Placeholder for info from Jelle
--Every operation made after this decision will default to XML (or JSON which is still the default). Should you want to support JSON on some operations and XML on others you can select a default and manually correct the mediaType for the requests and responses to which it matters.
++{{warning}}Text{{/warning}}
--[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@193-release-blog--rest-xml-change-media-type-setting.png]]
++== **Infra flow selection** ==
--==**Cloud Template update** ==
++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.
--We have released several new Cloud templates which will be installed via the auto-upgrade settings of your model (or manually in case not set).
--
--====Cloud Template R23 - Single Lane ====
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-comparison.png]]
--This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup in the 2nd generation runtime. This cloud template will update some specific security settings on these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
++In edit mode, you can select a new version via the right-click option, which you already use for other flows.
--====Cloud Template R6 - Single Lane ====
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--infra-flow-selection.png]]
--This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup in the 3rd generation runtime. This cloud template will improve the auto-healing functionality of these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
++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.
--====Cloud Template R6 - Double Lane====
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--context-menu-title.png]]
--This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a double-lane setup in the 3rd generation runtime. This cloud template will improve the auto-healing functionality of these cloud slots. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
++== **Multiple environments selection** ==
--== **WS-Security on the 3rd generation runtime** ~*~* ==
++{{warning}}The following is only applicable under the following conditions:
++  * Windows 2022 server
++  * At least one port opened (as a consequence of a hosted web service){{/warning}}
--To further improve our offering on the 3rd generation runtime we now also have added the necessary functionality to allow you to call SOAP endpoints while utilizing WS-Security as well as securing your hosted SOAP endpoint through WS-Security protocols.
++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.
--== **State Generation ~*~* ==
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-216-hack-heaven--multiple-environments.png]]
--With this release we introduce our first "State Generation" functionality to our user community. After rigorous internal testing and use we have now made a stride to also make it available to the user community on specific use case. In the following months we will gather feedback on this to further improve and release it in a simpler and more user friendly way to the user community.
++== **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 displayed close to the edge of the canvas. Expanding the area allows you to select these components, which will become much easier.
--{{info}}Should you be interested in this functionality or want to learn more please contact us at productmanagement@emagiz.com{{/info}}
++//__Improved handling of optionality in JSON on lists__//
++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.
--== **Feedback items ** ==
++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.
--//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
--With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
++//__Loading bar when searching for log entries__//
++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.
--//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
--When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
++//__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.
--{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
++//__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 allows users to filter on Status (Alerting) and Queues, Topics, Recipients, and more (Trigger configuration pop-up) in these places.
--== **Bug fixes ** ==
++//__Copy property names from Create__//
++This release unlocks the possibility of easily copying the name of a property placeholder so it can be used while deploying.
--//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
--With this release, we have changed the way we update properties when user management is updated for an API gateway using the API Key security mechanisms. This will prevent the endless loop that could now happen on occasion.
++//__Improved feedback during migration to the current runtime architecture__//
++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.
--{{warning}}Any operation that is incorrectly deleted from Deploy while still end up in the logic and could cause issue so pay attention when removing API Gateway operations.{{/warning}}
++//__Block user from making changes to their cloud while another upgrade is still in progress__//
++We now block users from changing their cloud configuration when another upgrade is ongoing.
--//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
--As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
++//__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.
++== **Bug Fixes** ==
++//__Making Edit (and View) the default action when configuring parameters__//
++We have made the Edit (and View) button the default action when configuring parameters in a transformation.
++
++//__Property configuration pop-up resized__//
++We have resized the property configuration overviews to make the property value better readable.
++
++//__Alphabetically sorted components in the flow designer__//
++As of this release, we now sort the components alphabetically in the flow designer.
++
++//__Improved sorting on runtime overview__//
++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.
++
++//__Improved sorting on catalog overview__//
++As of this release, we now sort the topics in the catalog by name.
++
++//__Styling fix on rich text editors__//
++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.
++
++//__Styling fix on release edit__//
++As of this release, the correct icon (green) will be shown when wanting to add a second API operation under the same "header."
++
++//__Removed false-positive alerts on transformations__//
++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.
++
++//__Event Streaming Graphs - view thirty days back__//
++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.
++
++//__Improved helptext__//
++We have improved various help texts across the portal to indicate better what should be filled in for specific fields.
