6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, a new runtime image (LINK) will be available, including changes to our infinispan cache manager, SMB inbound channel adapter, and heap memory configuration. Moreover, we have made progress on our alerting improvement plans and have improved and added several pop-up screens. Find out all we released below!
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 smaller feedback items from our hackathon efforts that are now released to you.

8 -== **Feedback Items** ==
9 -//__Alerting notification settings__//
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, the timing of changing properties was crucial to avoid costly mistakes in Production. On top of that, it could have been clearer whether a property value was indeed updated as it was not linked to something deployed. These considerations allow us to change the property management behavior in our next-generation architecture and our current-generation architecture. There are several fundamental changes compared to the current way of managing your properties. Most notable among these are:
10 10  
11 -//__Process containers__//
12 -If a model does not have a license for a pattern, the model contact now has the option to delete the process container of that given pattern.
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. As a result, you don't have to type them twice when working on an integration.
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, a 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 an entirely new release in Test and promote it to the Production environment.
13 13  
14 -//__Design settings__//
15 -When pressing Apply settings in Design Settings, a confirmation screen will now be shown to present the changes that will be taken into effect for each environment.

19 -//__Untested images__//
20 - A warning will be shown when a release is activated on **Production** with a new runtime image version which has not been tested on acceptance before.

22 +{{/info}}
29 29  
30 -//__Infinispan Cache Manager__//
31 -We added support for the Infinispan Cache Manager to perform clustering through JGroups' GossipRouter. For this, a new runtime image LINK is available.
32 -
33 -//__Infinispan Cache Manager error message__//
34 -We improved the error message when configuring an Infinispan Cache Manager with ‘TCP-ping’ transport type, when the list of peer hosts are passed in invalid format. For this, a new runtime image LINK is available.
24 +== ** Manage - 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 managed graphs as we retrieve and show less fine-grained information when zooming out.
35 35  
36 -//__Flow bump__//
37 -When bumping a new version of the flows that are using a resource, you can specify which version type you want to create, Major, Minor or Patch version. You can also give more information in a description.

41 -//__Unused support objects__//
42 -Support objects are now shown in two sections, namely 'Support objects' and 'Unused support objects'.

46 -//__Deleting routes__//
47 -For clarity purposes, a confirmation pop-up will be shown when deleting routes.
31 +//__Improved editability when testing in eMagiz without Edit rights in Create__//
32 +Without editing 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 should have noticed during the implementation. These have been fixed, allowing those without edit rights to change the test case's name and description.
48 48  
49 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-225-routes.png]]
34 +//__Improved auditability on Deploy Architecture__//
35 +To improve the audibility of Deploy Architecture, we now also log when someone with Admin rights changes specific functions on this level (i.e., Fixed IP).
50 50  
51 -//__Debug queue__//
52 -The 'Open debug queue' button in the queue browser enables the user to directly open the debug queue when it exists instead of having to search for it.

56 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
57 -//__Internal server error__//
58 -The internal server error pop-up is not received anymore when moving to Create in a model which has an Event Streaming license but is not using it.
37 +//__Test your own exported store content__//
38 +We have now allowed testing of your 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.
59 59  
60 -//__Namespace update__//
61 -Editing a namespace used in a message definition automatically updates the message definition & transformations.
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}}
62 62  
63 -//__Error pop-up__//
64 -We fixed an issue where a pop-up was shown with an incorrect error while editing the message mapping of a synchronous flows.
42 +//__Improved comparison of flows in the releases overview__//
43 +We have now made it possible to see the differences in the flow versions between the two releases for all three patterns.
65 65  
66 -//__SMB inbound channel adapter__//
67 -The SMB inbound channel adapter failed to retrieve files when the remote directory pointed to a path with multiple directories in it, unless they were seperated with '}}' instead of '{{/'. This has been resolved, meaning that remote directories that contain multiple folders in its path can (and should) contain '/' again. For this, a new runtime image LINK is available.
45 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
68 68  
69 -//__Heap memory__//
70 -The initial committed heap memory of runtimes has been lowered to better match actual usage. For this, a new runtime image LINK is available.
47 +//__Improved validation on XPath header enricher__//
48 +To avoid unexpected behavior when filling in the XPath header enricher component, we have improved the validation on this component.
71 71  
72 -//__Classpath conflicts__//
73 -We updated transitive runtime dependencies to prevent potential conflicts on the classpath for extended images. For this, a new runtime image LINK is available.
50 +//__Cancel behavior on flow testing property overview fixed__//
51 +We have ensured that when you press Cancel when editing a property needed in a flow test, the property placeholder will no longer disappear from the list.
74 74  
53 +//__Cancel behavior on flow fragment level when exporting store content__//
54 +We have ensured that when you press Cancel when exporting a flow fragment, the flow fragment will no longer disappear from the list.
55 +
56 +//__Adding numbers on containers in Deploy Architecture__//
57 +With this release, we have made the first step in giving a clear overview of how many integrations for a certain runtime (i.e., container) are in your active release.
