6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, a new [[runtime image>>doc:Main.Release Information.Runtime Images.V311.WebHome||target="blank"]] 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 additional smaller feedback item coming 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, 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:
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. 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.
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.

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 - 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.
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.

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 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.

49 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-225-routes.png]]
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).
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 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.
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 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.
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 +//__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.
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.
48 +== **Bug Fixes** ==
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 +//__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.
74 74  
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.
