6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** This release, we have done several improvements for our Failover functionality and added two configuration options for our SMB session factory support objects. We have also updated our password policy, so from now on you are required to have a password with a minimum length of 14 characters! Apart from these improvements, we have done several bug fixes. Please find out all below!
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we focused on tidying up our house to make it ready for various cool things to come later this year. As a result, we have a set of infastrucutural improvements as well as several UI/UX related improvements and bug fixes for you to enjoy.

8 -== **Feedback Items** ==
9 -//__Password policy__//
10 -Our password policy has been updated such that the minimum length is 14 characters, other requirements have remained the same. All users will be required to update their password when logging in. You will not be able to close this popup until your password has been updated successfully.

12 -//__Failover__//
13 -Several improvements for our failover functionality have been done:
14 -* We have improved the warning message for the balance failover deployment plan step, making it more clear how to solve this issue should it occur during your deployment.
15 - [[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-233-balance-failover.png]]
16 -* We have added the option to manually initiate the failover balancing process, saving you from having to execute your deployment. This action can be found in Deploy Architecture, when right clicking on the white canvas.
17 -* We have added a visualization of connector systems that are pending a failover enable or disable in Deploy Architecture. Besides that, you will also see this shown in the pending changes list when you apply your changes to the environment.

10 +//__Alerts/Notifications improved UI/UX__//
11 +Alerts/Notifications now have an icon before the text to put further emphasis on the meaning. One example of such a change is shown below.
19 19  
20 -//__Empty status__//
21 -The status of error messages can now be reset to empty.

24 -//__SMB session factory__//
25 -We have added two additional configuration options to the SMB session factory support object.
26 -* Connect as guest: We have added the option to toggle whether the session factory should attempt to connect as a guest if the login attempt with the provided username and password is rejected.
27 -* Force SMB version 2: We have added the option to enforce the usage of SMB version 2. This effectively disables backwards-compatible version negotiation.
15 +//__Badge, Switch, and progess bar have an improved UI/UX__//
16 +We have updated our badge, switch and progress bar components. This to improve the overall quality and consistency of what we show to the user. One example of such a change is shown below.

30 -//__Support object alert__//
31 -If a component misses a support object, an alert is now shown in the Flow Designer, displaying which support object is missing.
21 +//__Auto-creation API Operation entry gate__//
22 +We have changed the auto-creation behavior for entry gates. This means that we now avoid creating functionality in these entry gates that is only relevant for flows running inside a Mendix app.

33 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-233-support-object-alert.png]]
24 +//__Infra flow reset Mendix Connector__//

43 -
44 -//__Release version__//
45 -The version number of releases that have been activated, cannot be reused anymore for new releases. Note that this check only applies to release version numbers that are activated since this Release 233.
