5		-**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have crossed our t's and dotted our i's on the release properties functionality that will impact the day to day life of every user working within the platform. The focus of the release blog will consequently also be on this subject. On top of that we have several additional smaller feedback item coming from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
	6	+**Hi there, eMagiz developers!**
	7	+In this release, we will do a large maintenance update, moving the eMagiz [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] stack from Spring 5 to Spring 6 and from Java 8 to Java 17. Please refer to our new [[runtime image>>https://docs.emagiz.com/bin/view/Main/Release%20Information/Runtime%20Images/V3.0.0/||target="blank"]] and Spring 6 [[migration path>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-spring-6-migration.WebHome||target="blank"]] for more information. Next to this, we have improved event streaming logging, so that logs are not cluttered with irrelevant info anymore. Lastly, we have removed the deprecated cloud option 'Root' from the portal.

7		-== **Release Properties** ==
8		-As of this release, we will introduce a new way of handling properties for all our clients. This change intends to solidify the relationship between a release and a property value. Before, in the current generation architecture, timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes on Production. On top of that it was not always clear whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something that was deployed. These considerations let us to change the property management behavior not only on our next-generation architecture but also on our current generation architecture. Having said that, there are several key changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notably among these are:
	9	+== **Spring 6 Migration** ==
	10	+As announced in our previous release blogs, we will release a major version of our [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] base image for all our clients running on the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture in our release that will be released on April 11th, 2024, which is this release.
9	9
10		-* The current properties tab in Deploy will disappear. The new overview of the properties (and their values) can be found under the "Create phase release" in Deploy -> Releases
11		-* Property placeholders (i.e. the names of properties as given in Create) are now automatically created for you. This to avoid mistakes when filling them in.
12		-* When adding or editing a property you can *now* select multiple runtimes for which the property applies. This is mainly beneficial for those running in a double lane setup or having a distributed landscape of containers.
13		-* A, for most, new concept of a "property release" is introduced. With the help of this functionality you can easily change a property on Production without having to create a completely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.
	12	+Configurations that contain any one of the listed components below are automatically migrated to Spring 6:
	13	+* JDBC BoneCP data source
	14	+* SSL web service message sender
	15	+* Web service outbound gateway
	16	+* SFTP session factory
	17	+* HTTP components message sender
	18	+* Job manager
	19	+* Credentials
	20	+* Simple job launcher
	21	+* Default SFTP session factory
14	14
15		-{{info}}For more information please check out the following microlearnings:
	23	+Legacy configurations that contain SSL web service message sender components are also updated with a non runtime affecting change.

	25	+In our continued efforts to make the transition to Spring 6 as smooth as possible we have written down the advised process for identifying and updating the relevant flows as a consequence of the Spring 6 migration, which you can find [[here>>doc:Main.eMagiz Support.Migration Paths.migration-path-spring-6-migration.WebHome||target="blank"]].

	27	+This large maintenance update, moving the eMagiz runtime stack from Spring 5 to Spring 6 and from Java 8 to Java 17, includes moving to latest (major) versions of open source projects, libraries and technologies. For this, a new [[runtime image>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.WebHome||target="blank"]] will be released. Although no new functionality is added in this new image version, several Spring libraries have been changed significantly. More information can be found [[here>>https://docs.emagiz.com/bin/view/Main/Release%20Information/Runtime%20Images/V3.0.0/||target="blank"]].

24		-== ** Manage - Next generation graphs improvements ** ==
25		-As of this release, we will create a condensed view of your metrics when zooming out in the Manage phase graphs. This will significantly improve the performance of the manage graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.

29	29	== **Feedback Items** ==
	30	+//__Event streaming logging__//
	31	+Event streaming processors will produce significantly less logging, so the logs are not cluttered with irrelevant info logs.
30	30
31		-//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz wihout Edit rights in Create__//
32		-Without having edit rights in the Create phase you could already do a lot on the level of flow tests in eMagiz. However, there were some oversights we missed during the implementation. These have been fixed allowing those without edit rights to now also change the name and description of the test case.
	33	+//__Root Cloud__//
	34	+Options and screens related to the deprecated cloud option 'Root' have been removed from the portal.
33	33
34		-//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
35		-To improve the audtiability on Deploy Architecture we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e. Fixed IP).
36		-
37		-//__Test your own exported work__//
38		-We have now made it possible to test your own exported work to the Store before it gets approved. This will increase the quality of store items we have, and our partners, have on offer within the store.

40		-{{info}}In case the concept of the store is new for you please check out this [[Fundamental>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-emagiz-store.WebHome||target="blank"]]{{/info}}
41		-
42		-//__Improved Audit Trail on several places__//
43		-In several places in the portal, we have improved the audit trail to specify better who changed what at which point in time.
44		-
45		-//__Removed the erroneous alert on message mapping when having a passthrough API__//
46		-This release removes the erroneous alert people reported on "errors in message mapping" for a passthrough API.
47		-
48		-== **Bug Fixes** ==
49		-
50		-//__Avoid clicking on other components while deleting another__//
51		-To avoid unexpected behavior, we now ensure that nothing can be selected once you see the "deletion" pop-up when you want to remove something in the flow designer.
52		-
53		-//__Improved validation feedback in migrating to the next-generation architecture__//
54		-We have improved the validation feedback when migrating to the next-generation architecture.
55		-
56		-//__Make sure that user credentials can be viewed with view rights__//
57		-This release makes sure that the user credentials in Deploy can be considered with view rights and not only when having edit rights.
58		-
59		-//__Refresh behavior within the deployment plan is fixed__//
60		-This release changes the refresh behavior within the deployment plan to show, once more, the "to be installed" flows before the user presses Execute.
