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.
	5	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last couple of weeks, we have worked around the clock to release various improvements points within the 3rd generation runtime and elsewhere. Among others we have improved the feedback provided when a flow can't start due to an incorrect transformation. Improved when certain logging is triggerd and improved the stability of our internal infrastructure. On top of that we fixed several bug fixes surrounding other parts of the platform. So without further ado let us take a look at all these improvements.

8		-== **Feedback Items** ==
	7	+== **3rd generation improvements** ==
9	9
10		-//__eMagiz Mendix connector__//
11		-We released a new version of our eMagiz Mendix connector that will support Mendix version 10 and higher.
	9	+//__Better feedback in error log when a corrupt stylesheet is encountered__//
	10	+We have improved the logging within a 3rd generation runtime that identifies the broken resource by name within a container and informs you to navigate to Create -> Resources to see in which flows the resource is used so you can take the appropriate action.
12	12
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	+//__Better internal error handling to avoid unnecessary alerting and notifications__//
	13	+We have improved the internal error handling when sending metrics from the runtime to our monitoring stack. This will gravely reduce the number of alerts you will receive on this topic when your model runs on the 3rd generation monitoring stack.
15	15
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	+//__Improved Manage Dashboard__//
	16	+This release improves what you can see in the Manage Dashboard after you migrated your model to the 3rd generation runtime architecture.
18	18
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	+//__Improved process surrounding "slot standby" and "slot wakeup" for 3rd generation runtimes__//
	19	+When a slot is put into standby mode we now also stop all on-premise runtimes to avoid excessive logging (and alerting) on your models that have this functionality activated. The opposite happens when the slot wakeup is triggered. As a result not only the cloud runtimes are started but also all on-premise runtimes.

22		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-stack-trace.png]]
	21	+//__Improved process of deploy preparation__//
	22	+With this release we have improved the process through which your deploy action is preparated by eMagiz. As a result the chances of unexpected behavior occuring in your model are drastically reduced.
23	23
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	+//__Improved migration of Streaming container__//
	25	+When migrating your streaming container we now take into account whether "custom error handling" is used within one of the event processors. Based on that determination specific additional components are added to ensure that the streaming container will work after migrating without any manual intervention.
25	25
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.
	27	+//__Add History to Notifications in Manage__//
	28	+To improve the auditability of our platform we have introduced an audit trail to the Notification section in Manage for models running on our 3rd generation monitoring stack. This way it is always visible when the notifications were paused and who paused or unpaused the notifications.
27	27
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}}
	30	+//__Improved Manage phase for Event Streaming__//
	31	+Based on the feedback on our first iteration of the Manage phase for Event Streaming we have improved the graphs and the calculations that fill the graphs with values. On top of that we have added helptexts to clarify what each graph our table displays to you.
29	29
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.
	33	+//__Improved help text for network volumes__//
	34	+With this release we have improved the help text that explains network volumes and how to use them within our solution.
33	33
34		-//__Volume mapping passwords__//
35		-Passwords for network volumes are now securely hidden in the runtime’s machine after deploying a new release.
	36	+{{warning}}Should you be interested in migrating your model to our new 3rd generation architecture, don't hesistate 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}}
36	36
37		-//__Create integration removal__//
38		-When removing an integration from Create, the Create phase is now correctly updated.
	38	+== **Feedback items ** ==
39	39
40		-//__Legacy statistics__//
41		-Legacy pages are now correctly hidden when running on the current runtime architecture.
	40	+//__Removed OData as option for an API Gateway operation__//
	41	+With this release, we have removed the OData operation option as it was not used and was not fully supported anymore by the platform.
42	42
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	+//__Changes in API Gateway operation paths is automatically updated in Create__//
	44	+When you change your path on a hosted API Gateway we will now automatically update the accompanying component in your Create (all-)entry.
45	45
46		-//__Enumeration values__//
47		-Users are now able to add and edit enumeration values while editing event processor flows in the Create phase.
	46	+{{warning}}Make sure to check the changes and create a new version afterward to deploy the changes.{{/warning}}
48	48
49		-[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-event-processor.png]]
	48	+== **Bug fixes ** ==
50	50
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	+//__Prevent endless loop in Deploy -> User Management__//
	51	+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.
53	53
	53	+{{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}}
	54	+
	55	+//__Update error handling during migration to the 3rd generation runtime__//
	56	+As of now the error handling of all flows is correctly updated whilst migrating to the 3rd generation runtime configuration.
