5 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have focused on wrapping up the previous quarter and starting the new one. When this happens, we go silent for a few weeks to plan for the upcoming quarter during our PI rituals. This time we added the famous "Hackathon" to the end of the PI week so we could start the Easter break with excellent spirit after solving several smaller feedback items and bugs reported by you. Several of those stories will be included in this and the upcoming release. On top of that, we introduce various improvements to our API Gateway pattern and our 3rd generation runtime architecture. Subsequently, we will release a new runtime image supporting the multiple improvements.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release, we have a new version of our eMagiz Mendix connector available, that will support Mendix version 10 and higher. Furthermore, we have improved our functionality to enable users to seamlessly import OpenAPI specifications with URL paths of up to 300 characters in length. Lastly, we have done many bug fixes, one of which will ensure that SFTP sessions will be closed again after completion. For this fix, a new [[runtime image>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.V304.WebHome||target="blank"]] has been published.

8 +== **Feedback Items** ==
8 8  
9 -With this release we bring an improved version of the release properties functionality. With the introduction of the 3rd generation runtime the way properties can be updated and when they need to be available for the solution to start up has changed compared to the current runtime architecture. More on that can be found [[here>>Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target= "blank"]]
10 +//__eMagiz Mendix connector__//
11 +We released a new version of our eMagiz Mendix connector that will support Mendix version 10 and higher.
10 10  
11 -== **API improvements** ==
13 +//__External machine agents__//
14 +We have added functionality that allows the user to (auto-) update their external (on-premise) machine agents on the current generation architecture from the portal. With future releases of environment templates, your on-premise agents may also be updated.
12 12  
13 -//__Improved auto-generated error handling__//
14 -When you create a new operation in your API gateway, eMagiz will now automatically generate the correct schemas, HTTP codes, and examples for this operation based on industry standards.
16 +//__Improved OpenAPI import__//
17 +The path length that eMagiz supports when importing OpenAPI specifications is now increased to a maximum of 300 characters.
15 15  
16 -//__Switch default message format__//
17 -We have improved the logic when you switch the message format of your gateway message from XML to JSON or vice versa. As a result, the Swagger file will be changed accordingly. Once you update the relevant flow in Create and deploy the solution, the Swagger UI will automatically match the expected result.
19 +//__Flow test stack trace__//
20 +If a flow test creates a log line with level ‘Warning’ or ‘Error’ and there is a stack trace created, then we show the stack trace inside the log message on a separate tab.
18 18  
19 -//__Re-using elements in gateway message__//
20 -This release improves how the examples and schemas in Swagger and the Flow Testing functionality are generated when certain elements repeatedly appear in different places within one specific gateway message.
22 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-stack-trace.png]]
21 21  
22 -//__Improved naming of API operations when adding integrations to Create__//
23 -Previously when you added API operations to the Create phase, the HTTP operation (i.e., POST, PUT, GET) was not visible to a user. As a result, it became tough for a user to discern between specific operations once multiple of them were used on one resource (i.e., Order, Invoice, Lead). To clarify this for the user, the display name defined in Design (instead of Capture) is now used within this overview for these operations.
24 +{{info}}With the release of Spring 6 in our previous release, some users reported that their filters have begun logging warnings about discarding messages even though the filter is configured to not throw an exception on rejection. For flows that process high numbers of messages (and potentially discard a lot of messages as well) this can significantly disturb the overview of the logs in the manage phase.
24 24  
25 -== **3rd generation improvements** ==
26 +To mitigate this, you can change the filter that throws the warning so it specifically refers to a discard channel. Given the chosen configuration, we advice to use the nullChannel option. This will silently drop the message without registering a warning in the log. In case you find the warning in the log a nice addition, we suggest to add an explicit discard channel leading to a logging outbound channel adapter. This log component can then be configured to throw a warning.
26 26  
27 -//__Update of the static alerting engine__//
28 -In this release, we have updated the static alerting engine that determines when one of the static alerts, as defined by eMagiz, should be triggered (or not). This change will improve the performance of the solution and will ensure that the alerts are activated correctly.
28 +In the next release, we will aid you by adding a validation check that will force you to select a discard channel when it is currently not selected once you edit the flow to create a new version. More on this in the next release blog. {{/info}}
29 29  
30 -//__Add "Data pipeline" functionality__//
31 -This release introduces the "data pipeline" functionality to the 3rd generation runtime. This removes another blockage for models waiting on this before migrating to the 3rd generation runtime.
30 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
31 +//__Error handling__//
32 +When migrating to the current generation architecture, the default error handling will now also be migrated correctly, so that no manual changes have to be done for this.
32 32  
33 -//__Fix related to the debugger__//
34 -This release introduces a fix that allows users to debug a flow once the toggle "Send error messages to eMagiz" is activated.
34 +//__Volume mapping passwords__//
35 +Passwords for network volumes are now securely hidden in the runtime’s machine after deploying a new release.
35 35  
36 -{{warning}}To make use of this bug fix, you need to be on the latest runtime image{{/warning}}
37 +//__Create integration removal__//
38 +When removing an integration from Create, the Create phase is now correctly updated.
37 37  
38 -//__Improved migration process__//
39 -This release introduced a fix that allows a user to migrate event processors with custom error handling without manual intervention.
40 +//__Legacy statistics__//
41 +Legacy pages are now correctly hidden when running on the current runtime architecture.
40 40  
41 -//__Deployment plan change__//
42 -In this release, the prepare release step will not start automatically anymore. This prevents the user from waiting for this action to be finished before they can continue deploying the solution to their environment.
43 +//__Unused properties__//
44 +Users should not be able to edit or delete eMagiz properties, and so these eMagiz properties will now not be shown in the 'Unused property overview' anymore.
43 43  
44 -{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesitate to contact us at [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:productmanagement@emagiz.com]] or read our [[documentation>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] on the subject.{{/warning}}
46 +//__Enumeration values__//
47 +Users are now able to add and edit enumeration values while editing event processor flows in the Create phase.
45 45  
46 -== **Feedback items ** ==
49 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-event-processor.png]]
47 47  
48 -//__License Tracker improvements__//
49 -With this release, we have added several new features available to purchase. On top of that, additional information on the license, such as adding notes and seeing the data sink packets, is now available.
51 +//__SFTP sessions__//
52 +SFTP session factories did not close their connection after it was complete. This could cause connection starvation on the SFTP server, and was especially noticable when using the SFTP Session Factory without caching, as that factory opens a new connection for every call. For this, a new [[runtime image>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.V304.WebHome||target="blank"]] has been released.
50 50  
51 -//__Ability to view the message definition for a topic__//
52 -Currently, you can easily navigate to the message definition of a topic via the context menu in Design, even if there is no event processor linked to the topic.
53 -
54 -//__Restricted access for uploading custom certificates to endpoints__//
55 -To improve our cloud offerings' general security and prevent users from uploading the wrong certificates, we have now restricted access to this view to ensure that only the administrator can execute this change. This allows for a discussion between the team implementing the solution and eMagiz before actions are taken.
56 -
57 -== **Bug fixes ** ==
58 -
59 -//__Improved deletion behavior for enumerations__//
60 -To prevent that eMagiz will incorrectly delete enumeration lists when you press a "Cancel" button, we have improved the deletion behavior when viewing enumerations in the Create phase of eMagiz.
61 -
62 -//__Prevent "async" api operations__//
63 -With this release, we have removed the ability to select the "async" option when the default message format is API Management.
64 -
65 -//__Importing a response definition broke the request definition__//
66 -Currently, importing a response definition breaks the request definition. With this release, we have changed this behavior, ensuring that only the response definition is changed when importing and not the request definition.
67 -
68 -//__Removing a flow does not update the API "all-entry" anymore__//
69 -When you removed a flow from Create, the API Gateway all-entry received a new version of the flow. With this release, we have changed this behavior so that this only happens when the flow you remove is an API-related flow and not when it is a messaging or event streaming flow.
70 -
71 -//__Stop deployment plan when a property is missing__//
72 -Currently, the execution of your deployment plan continues when eMagiz notices a missing property. As this is confusing for a user and not desirable, we have updated the logic to ensure that when this happens, the execution stops. This allows you to fill in the properties, and once filled in, you can continue with the remainder of the deployment plan.
73 -
74 -//__Cap stack trace of error messages and log entries__//
75 -To prevent that enormous stack traces of error messages and log entries need to be processed by various systems, we have now limited what is kept so only the relevant information is shown to the user.
