6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we made several improvements to keep our model running smoothly. We also made some small changes to various XPath-related parts of the portal and updated our deployment plan. Find out all the improvements and bug fixes below!

10 +//__Monitoring Trigger - Improvements__//
19 19  
20 -* The following graph now shows an improved unit of measurement
21 -** Runtime Statistics - Key Metrics
22 -*** Log events are counted as a sum instead of a maximum per data point.
23 -* The following data measurement graphs indicate whether the component was on or off when hovering over the data points.
24 -** Runtime Statistics - Other Metrics
25 -*** Data measurements
26 -** Queue Statistics - Other Metrics
27 -*** Data measurements
12 +* For the step type "Monitoring Trigger," we have re-introduced the "Enable" option.

30 -* The Memory and CPU usage table in the Runtime statistics displays the maximum value in a given time period that is selected.
31 -* Pressing the 'show main dashboard' button returns back to the unfiltered master dashboard.
32 -* For detailed views the 'show main dashboard' button is on the left.
33 -* Graphs on a page share the same crosshair.
34 -* The styling on HTTP statistics when there are no (un)successful requests within a timeframe has been improved.
35 -* For selection dropdowns the selected variables are locked to the top for easy deselection.
16 +* The "Disable" option under this step type comes with two new options.
17 +** End Action. Here, you can opt for the following three options:
18 +*** Auto-enable triggers
19 +*** Send email
20 +*** Both
21 +** Duration. Here, you can define a waiting period that states how long eMagiz should wait before executing the end action. The value of this field needs to lie between 15 and 120 minutes. Note that the timer starts when your deployment plan's "disable" step is finished.

40 -//__Failover deployment plan__//
41 -The deployment plan steps with type 'Failover' are now deprecated, meaning they can no longer be added to a deployment plan.
25 +{{warning}}Note that the end action is only triggered when the deployment plan cannot complete all steps. When all steps are completed, the timer is **stopped**. Therefore, we advise adding the "enable" step back to the end of your deployment plan to ensure that triggers are automatically re-enabled when the deployment is successfully finished. This also covers cases where the deployment plan is automatically executed (by pressing the play button), after which the user moves on to other things and forgets to move away from the page once the deployment plan is completed.
26 +
27 +In the coming weeks, we will actively monitor eMagiz models to see to what extent this advice has been implemented.{{/warning}}

43 -//__Edit mode flow testing__//
44 -Test messages can now be edited or removed while in the edit mode of the flow testing functionality.
29 +//__Default Plan - Improvements__//
45 45  
46 -//__Missing properties overview__//
47 -Setting the value of a missing property will now automatically remove it from the missing properties overview. Besides that, search and sort functionality have been added to the missing properties overview.
48 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-missing-properties.png]]
31 +* When you press the "Default Plan" option, the following changes will occur (assuming you also have a default plan on your environment):
32 +** The existing "Disable" step is extended to define that eMagiz will automatically enable triggers after 60 minutes have passed.
33 +** The "Enable" step is added as the last step of your deployment plan.
49 49  
50 -//__Legacy release notes__//
51 -The legacy release notes tab has been removed.

58 -//__Memory warning__//
59 -A pop-up with a warning will be shown when containers are configured with less memory than recommended.
39 +With this release we launch a new runtime image that provides an additional configuration option on our SFTP (caching) session factory support object. With this option you can define the **order** in which the authentication is handled and which options are **allowed**. The following options are possible. The default configuration option (which is valid in 99% of the cases) is "Keyboard-Interactive and Password".

79 79  == **Bug Fixes** ==
80 -//__Legacy properties__//
81 -We removed legacy properties in connections through the eMagiz Mendix connector. This means that you will not get blocked anymore when deploying to Production.
49 +//__XPath Header Enricher - Help Text Improvement__//
50 +We have added a help text segment that explain that you will get the first result back if your XPath returns a list of values. Secondly, we have added an additional help text segment that explains how to change the XPath expression in case you want to get a list of values back.
82 82  
83 -//__Exceeding memory__//
84 -We fixed a bug where new machines could be deployed with exceeding memory.
52 +//__XPath Configuration - Transformation__//
53 +We fixed a bug that caused the “Value“ input field to disappear once you switched from the "custom xpath" to the "if exists" option when adding a Conditional block in the Create Transformation tooling.
85 85  
86 -//__Copy paste__//
87 -The copy paste functionality in the flow designer does not change the configuration of existing flow components anymore.
