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!
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** The past few weeks we have worked hard to release our new queue alerting design. Please find out all new features in our [[Standard Alerting eMagiz>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] microlearning. Note that the new queue alerting will not yet be availalbe for queues with message redelivery. Next to alerting, we have worked on tenant items, machine pop-ups and progress bars, as well as the Infinispan Cache Manager. Find out all below!

9 -//__Alerting notification settings__//
9 +//__Queue alerting__//
10 +Alerting for message queues has been improved for the [[current runtime>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]] architecture, which includes the following improvements:
11 +* New UI that shows all queues and the alerting that is active on them.
12 +* Every queue in the model will be automatically added to the list of queues in Manage - Alerting.
13 +* Triggers of a queue will be automatically enabled or disabled based on whether that queue is included in the release.
14 +* Added 2 new trigger types "inactivity check" and "periodic activity check" that replace the "queue throughput" alert.
15 +** These checks can now run for a (very) long time, whereas the "queue throughput" was limited by 1 hour.
16 +* The alert generation has been solidified to reduce the likelihood that your alerting is affected with false positives or false negatives during eMagiz maintenance.
17 +* When the same check of multiple queues trigger at the same time, the alerts will be aggregated into a single summarized email instead of a single email per alert.
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.
19 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-226-alerting.png]]
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 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-225-image-warning.png]]
24 +eMagiz will migrate your dynamic queue alerts on the **release day** when you are **fully** or **partially** migrated to the [[current runtime architecture>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]]. When doing so, we will configure the new queue alert in a similar fashion to best match its current behaviour. Note that the queue alerting will only function for models that are **fully** migrated to the [[current runtime architecture>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Fundamentals.fundamental-runtime-generation3||target="blank"]]. Should you want to change or create new queue alerts, you can do so starting the day **after** the release to avoid conflicts with our migration.
23 23  
24 -//__Infinispan Cache Manager__//
25 -We added support for the Infinispan Cache Manager to perform clustering through JGroups' GossipRouter. For this, a new runtime image LINK is available.
26 -
27 -//__Infinispan Cache Manager error message__//
28 -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.
26 +{{warning}}Please note that the new queue alerting will not yet be available for models with message redelivery. {{/warning}}

30 -//__Flow bump__//
31 -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.
32 -
33 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-225-resources-update.png]]
28 +//__Tenant technical name__//
29 +The technical name of a tenant cannot be changed once the tenant has been transferred to Create.
34 34  
35 -//__Unused support objects__//
36 -Support objects are now shown in two sections, namely 'Support objects' and 'Unused support objects'.
31 +//__Tenant transfer__//
32 +A tenant cannot be untransferred from Create if the connector container of that tenant is still active in Deploy.

39 -
40 -//__Deleting routes__//
41 -For clarity purposes, a confirmation pop-up will be shown when deleting routes.
34 +//__Property placeholder__//
35 +A property placeholder which contains a tenant name will be hidden in case its values and the technical name of the tenant are equal.
42 42  
43 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-225-routes.png]]
37 +//__Machine pop-up__//
38 +* The machine pop-up in Deploy Architecture now shows the name of the machine in the pop-up header.
39 +* The machine health indicator has been improved visually.
40 +* Several progress bars have been improved visually.
44 44  
45 -//__Debug queue__//
46 -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.

50 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
51 -//__Internal server error__//
52 -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.
44 +//__Infinispan Cache Manager__//
45 +The Infinispan Cache Manager has been updated to:
46 +* Provide an additional 'transport type' to offer more means for creating a clustered setup;
47 +* Provide clearer helptexts explaining which of the options is needed and what its effect is;
48 +* Include validation on fields depending on the selected 'transport type'.
53 53  
54 -//__Namespace update__//
55 -Editing a namespace used in a message definition automatically updates the message definition & transformations.
56 -
57 -//__Error pop-up__//
58 -We fixed an issue where a pop-up was shown with an incorrect error while editing the message mapping of a synchronous flows.
59 -
60 -//__SMB inbound channel adapter__//
61 -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.
62 -
63 -//__Heap memory__//
64 -The initial committed heap memory of runtimes has been lowered to better match actual usage. For this, a new runtime image LINK is available.
65 -
66 -//__Classpath conflicts__//
67 -We updated transitive runtime dependencies to prevent potential conflicts on the classpath for extended images.
