6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release we have done many improvements to the monitoring graphs in Manage. Moreover, we have made some improvements to the missing properties and unused properties overviews and did several bug fixes. Find out all improvements & bug fixes 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!

47 47  == **Feedback Items** ==
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.
48 48  
49 -//__Failover deployment plan__//
50 -The deployment plan steps with type 'Failover' are now deprecated, meaning they can no longer be added to a deployment plan.
19 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-226-alerting.png]]
51 51  
52 -//__Edit mode flow testing__//
53 -Test messages can now be edited or removed while in the edit mode of the flow testing functionality.
54 54  
55 -//__Missing properties overview__//
56 -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.
57 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-missing-properties.png]]
22 +{{info}}Please check out our [[Standard Alerting eMagiz>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Crash Course.Crash Course Platform.crashcourse-platform-manage-alerting-gen3||target="blank"]] microlearning for an elaborate explanation of our new queue alerting design. {{/info}}
58 58  
59 -//__Legacy release notes__//
60 -The legacy release notes tab has been removed.
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.
61 61  
62 -//__SSL helptext__//
63 -The SSL section in runtime settings has more elaborate helptext.
26 +{{warning}}Please note that the new queue alerting will not yet be available for models with message redelivery. {{/warning}}

69 69  
70 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-memory-settings.png]]
31 +//__Tenant transfer__//
32 +A tenant cannot be untransferred from Create if the connector container of that tenant is still active in Deploy.
71 71  
72 -//__Reuse test messages__//
73 -It is now possible to reuse the test messages created in other flows within the routing and vice versa.
74 -
75 -//__Unused properties__//
76 -We added logging for when properties are deleted from the unused properties screen.
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.
77 77  
78 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-unused-properties.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.

80 -//__Styling component__//
81 -The styling of the "File Item Reader Message Source" component configuration pop-up has been improved.
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'.

88 -== **Bug Fixes** ==
89 -//__Legacy properties__//
90 -We removed legacy properties in connections through the eMagiz Mendix connector. This means that you will not get blocked anymore when deploying to Production.

92 -//__Exceeding memory__//
93 -We fixed a bug where new machines could be deployed with exceeding memory.
94 -
95 -//__Copy paste__//
