5 -**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.
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.

7 -== **Release Date Change** ==
8 -As of release 208, released on November 9th, 2023, we will change our release date to Thursday morning starting at 05:00 AM CET (4:00 UTC). 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]].

10 -== **Deployment Plan** ==
11 -
12 -//__Improved deployment plan to make the process better and more predictable__//
13 -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 stopped last, and when executing the deployment plan, the JMS server is deployed first. This way, the JMS server is troubled minimally, and all processes are stopped before being deployed again. This provides additional control over the deployment of your release(s) and reduces the likelihood of false-positive logging (and potentially alerting) during and shortly after the deployment.

16 -
17 -//__Editing release properties__//
18 -With this release, it will be possible to change the description of a property by editing the property.
19 -
20 -//__Container memory settings__//
21 -A change in memory settings triggers redeployment of the container now.
22 -
23 -//__Properties tab__//
24 -We have removed the deprecated tab Properties in the Deploy phase.
25 -
26 -//__Cleanup old images__//
27 -When a release is removed, the related unused images in the on-premises machines will be removed as well.
28 -
29 -//__Performance improvements for loading releases__//
30 -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.
31 -
32 -== **Store Improvements** ==
33 -
34 -//__Message definition elements order__//
35 -We fixed an issue that the order of message definition elements was changed after being imported.
36 -
37 -//__Importing a store item with synchronous message definitions__//
38 -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.
39 -
40 -//__Importing store items containing static copies__//
41 -We fixed an issue that store items were missing static copies. Now, store items with static copies are imported correctly.
42 -
43 -//__Importing store content__//
44 -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.
45 -
46 -//__Store disclaimer__//
47 -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.
48 -
49 49  == **Feedback Items** ==
50 50  
51 -//__Alerting manual pause__//
52 -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.
10 +//__eMagiz Mendix connector__//
11 +We released a new version of our eMagiz Mendix connector that will support Mendix version 10 and higher.
53 53  
54 -//__Ordering of graphs in Manage__//
55 -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).
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.
56 56  
57 -//__UTC times in Grafana panels__//
58 -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.
16 +//__Improved OpenAPI import__//
17 +The path length that eMagiz supports when importing OpenAPI specifications is now increased to a maximum of 300 characters.
59 59  
60 -//__Update flow designer version__//
61 -The framework used in the flow designer has been updated to the latest version.
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.
62 62  
63 -//__Carwash track TLS versions in logging__//
64 -A new logging feature will be released, enabling us to make better choices in deprecating old encryption standards.
22 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-stack-trace.png]]
65 65  
66 -//__Moving channels in the flow designer__//
67 -Moving already attached channels in the flow designer has been made sligthly easier.
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.
68 68  
69 -//__Topic sizes description change__//
70 -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.
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.
71 71  
72 -//__Password change notification__//
73 -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.
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}}
74 74  
75 -//__Password comparison__//
76 -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.
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.
77 77  
78 -//__Inactive user alerting__//
79 -Inactivated users are now removed from all alert settings (included “disabled“ settings) to avoid undesirable notifications.
34 +//__Volume mapping passwords__//
35 +Passwords for network volumes are now securely hidden in the runtime’s machine after deploying a new release.
80 80  
81 -//__Alphabetical sorting on user level in HTTP statistics__//
82 -Variables in the 3rd generation runtimes HTTP statistics detail pages are now sorted case insensitive.
37 +//__Create integration removal__//
38 +When removing an integration from Create, the Create phase is now correctly updated.
83 83  
40 +//__Legacy statistics__//
41 +Legacy pages are now correctly hidden when running on the current runtime architecture.
84 84  
85 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
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.
86 86  
87 -//__Flow designer styling__//
88 -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.
46 +//__Enumeration values__//
47 +Users are now able to add and edit enumeration values while editing event processor flows in the Create phase.
89 89  
90 -//__Partial search for messages__//
91 -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".
49 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-219-creation-carousel-event-processor.png]]
92 92  
93 -//__Disk usage after cloud template update__//
94 -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.
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.
95 95  
96 -//__Error handling migration__//
97 -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.
