--**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In the last few weeks, we have done much work for the Deploy phase. On top of that, we have worked on several store functionalities. Next to this, we have several smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.
++**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we are bringing a significant performance improvement to flow testing, with execution times now accelerated by up to 3 times. Next to that, over the past week, we focused on improving the usability of our platform and addressing community feedback. Specifically, we enhanced user interface elements on several pages, including the descriptions of help texts, external links within help texts, and the overall layout of help text pages. Additionally, we made improvements to several pop-up pages. We also made the user interface more user-friendly for debugging integration flows. Lastly, we resolved an issue for some models when creating an Event Processor.
--== **Release Date Change** ==
--As of release 208, released on November 9th, 2023, we will change our release date to Thursday morning starting at 05:00 AM CET. We opted for this change as it allows us to control better and manage our releases to uphold the quality standards you have gotten used to from us. Should you have any questions, please get in touch with [[productmanagement@emagiz.com>>mailto:academy@emagiz.com]].
++== **Faster Flow Testing** ==
--== **Deployment Plan** ==
++We are rolling out a major upgrade to flow testing performance, boosting execution speeds by up to three times. This enhancement will greatly accelerate your workflow when developing integrations, enabling you to run tests faster and more efficiently. Consequently, this will further support users for delivering higher-quality integrations.
--//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
--The algorithm for generating a default deployment plan is improved to keep JMS downtime and alerting to a minimum. When stopping a machine, the JMS server is now stopped first, and when executing the deployment plan, the JMS server is deployed first. This way, the JMS server is troubled minimally. Next to this, the start/stop/restart machine deployment steps are now also executed correctly for AWS and on-premises machines.
++== **Feedback Items** ==
++//__Retention duration and bytes in Capture__//
++The pop-up page for specifying integration requirements in the Capture phase now correctly asks for the required retention duration and bytes for the integration/topic, instead of the previously incorrect terms retention size and bytes.
--//__Editing release properties__//
--With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
++//__Help text panel in Capture__//
++Collapsing the help text of this pop-up page by clicking the "?" icon on the top right corner of the pop-up page will now correctly hide the help text pane.
--//__Container memory settings__//
--A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
++//__Adding tags in Capture__//
++In the Capture phase, clicking to add or remove a tag in the pop-up page for specifying integration requirements no longer displays a 'blocked' icon.
--//__Properties tab__//
--We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-224-selectable-cursor-for-tags.png]]
++
++//__Property value page__//
++Pop-up pages with non-editable input fields containing long text are now displaying the entire content without any text being cut off at the edge of the page.
--//__Cleanup old images__//
--When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-224-pop-ups-wrapped-property-values.png]]
--//__Performance improvements for loading releases__//
--Performance improvements have been implemented for loading releases in Deploy. Releases should now load faster than before. All functionality should remain exactly the same as before.
++//__Improved text in Design architecture__//
++We fixed some spelling mistakes in the pop-up page when applying to environment in Design architecture.
--== **Store Improvements** ==
++//__Adding attributes for a message definition__//
++We fixed an issue where your selected attributes were lost when navigating between paginations while adding more attributes to the entity in the pop-up shown when you press the 'Add Attribute' button on the right panel of your System Message, CDM, API Data Model, or Event Streaming Data Model.
--//__Message definition elements order__//
--We fixed an issue that the order of message definition elements was changed after being imported.
++//__Helptext for HTTP methods__//
++We improved the help text for the HTTP method field in the HTTP outbound gateway and HTTP outbound channel adapter flow components to provide clearer descriptions for different HTTP methods. Additionally, we implemented a validation for these components to prevent selecting the HTTP method 'PATCH' if an Apache HttpComponents REST template is not provided.
--//__Importing a store item with synchronous message definitions__//
--We fixed an issue that importing a store item with synchronous message definitions went wrong. Now, the imported message definitions should correspond with the exported message definitions.
++//__External links__//
++Clicking links to external documentation in the eMagiz portal is now configured to always open the links in a new tab, rather than replacing your current tab.
++
++//__Enumeration values__//
++When editing a message definition (i.e., a System Message, CDM, API Data Model, or Event Streaming Data Model) in the Create phase, users can add enumeration values for attributes with an Enumeration data type. In this release, we’ve added a "Save and Add New" button to streamline the process of adding multiple enumeration values.
--//__Importing store items containing static copies__//
--We fixed an issue that store items were missing static copies. Now, store items with static copies are imported correctly.
++//__Debugging Shortcut__//
++Debugging a flow typically requires users to activate debug on a specific flow in Deploy → Containers, then navigate to Manage → Explore → Queue Browser and manually type in emagiz.debug. In this release, we have added a shortcut button that opens the Queue Browser page directly in the pop-up page right after activating debugging. Next to that, the Queue Browser page now includes a button to directly open the debugging queue, eliminating the need to manually type in emagiz.debug in the search box.
--//__Importing store content__//
--We fixed an issue that blocked you from importing Store content in the Design phase. The message definitions and message mappings are now imported correctly as the original content in the item of the Store.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-224-queue-explorer-button.png]]
--//__Store disclaimer__//
--Users who are not the model owner no longer see the eMagiz Store disclaimer popup, instead they see a popup containing a message that states that the model owner should accept the disclaimer.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-224-open-debug-queue-button.png]]
--== **Feedback Items** ==
++//__Test Message from Manage-Explore__//
++Additionally, we have improved the names and descriptions of test messages that you saved when debugging and wiretapping your integration in the Manage - Explore section.
--//__Alerting manual pause__//
--A few releases ago we changed the behavior of alerting in the deployment plan. Now each time when a deployment plan is executed the alerting will be automatically re-enabled when the deployer closes the deployment plan or closes the web browser. The majority of the users are happy with the new behavior, but there are some use cases that you do not want start the alerting immediately. With this release, if alerting has been paused manually, this will not be activated automatically after a release deployment.
++[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-224-test-message-debug-title-description.png]]
--//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
--The graphs in Manage are now ordered according to importance. This means that runtime statistics are sorted by "Process CPU usage" (highest first), queue statistics are sorted by "Messages in queue" (highest first), and HTTP statistics are sorted by "Unsuccessful requests" (highest first).
++//__Password property__//
++In the Flow designer within the Create phase, copying password properties now copies the actual password value instead of the encoded value.
--//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
--All Grafana panels now show UTC times, which are normally used in eMagiz, instead of local (browser) time zones. This way, it is easier to match graphs with logging events or alerts.
--
--//__Update flow designer version__//
--The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
--
--//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
--A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
--
--//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
--Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
--
--//__Topic sizes description change__//
--In the change description (and History) when altering the topic size of a topic the new and old value were switched around creating confusion, this has been resolved.
--
--//__Password change notification__//
--When an account password change request is made, even when this fails, a mail is sent to the account owner to inform the owner about the action.
--
--//__Password comparison__//
--When changing a password, it is compared to a list of known database breaches for security. A warning is shown when the password corresponds with a password in the database.
--
--//__Inactive user alerting__//
--Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
--
--//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
--Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
--
--//__SOAP Web services path__//
--Developers with Admin rights are now able to edit the 'SOAP Web services path' in the SSL settings.
--
  == **Bug Fixes** ==
--//__Flow designer styling__//
--The styling of the flow designer's left component panel has been restructured, solving a rare bug which would break the styling of certain functionalities.
++//__Event Processor Keystore and Trustore__//
--//__Partial search for messages__//
--It is now possible to search on messages partially in Manage Monitoring. For example, a search for Uptime can be done by searching for "up" "time" "ptim".
++We fixed an issue where the keystore location and the truststore location were generated incorrectly when creating a new event processor for models that were migrated from the legacy runtime architecture to the current generation architecture.
--//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
--In the last cloud template update there was an issue with disk performance. This has been resolved in this release. You can manually upgrade your cloud template, or rely on automatic updates.
--
--//__Error handling migration__//
--If there is no custom error handling, when migrating to Gen3, the error channel to “errorChannel” is only created for the first inbound in an entry flow. This has been fixed by adding a migration step, where we set the error channel of all inbounds in a flow to “errorChannel” if the custom error handling is set to false.
