6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, our new environment template will be available! Please find out more about it [[here>>Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates||target="blank"]]. Moreover, we have addressed several key feedback points within our platform.
6 +**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we focused on testing the eMagiz Mendix Connector and solving internal feedback on the process and the connector itself. With that behind us, we are ready to launch the new eMagiz Mendix Connector in our community. With this release, we will make it available for all new Mendix systems in models running on the current-generation architecture. In a future release, we will bring a migration wizard aiding a simple and smooth migration to the new eMagiz Mendix Connector. On top of that, we have some minor updates to improve the quality of the platform.

10 -As announced on our [[status page>>https://status.emagiz.com/incidents/nc5jxhxtkvfg||target="blank"]] we will release a new environment template to our community. This environment template contains two significant changes on your environment of which the eMagiz agent is key. This agent is responsible for communicating between the various machines within your model (both on-premises and our cloud).
10 +This release introduces the new eMagiz Mendix Connector to our platform. This means that when you add a new Mendix system to any eMagiz model that runs on the current-generation architecture (new and existing), eMagiz will configure this Mendix system to act as the new eMagiz Mendix Connector. We have created this eMagiz Mendix Connector to simplify the configuration and management of the eMagiz Mendix Connector, to enhance the stability of the connection between your Mendix app and your eMagiz model, and to simplify problem detection if something goes wrong. As a result, the whole way of working with the eMagiz Mendix Connector has changed both in Mendix and in eMagiz. This means that less communication is needed during the development of integrations with Mendix, smoothening the development process and that the functionality within Mendix resembles how we run all our runtimes in the current-generation architecture.

13 -* **Please take into consideration the following migration actions**:
14 -* You can use the [[(automatic) upgrade procedure>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Novice.eMagiz Cloud Management.novice-emagiz-cloud-management-cloud-templates-explained||target="blank"]] as provided within the platform to update your environments to this new environment template.
15 -* Please ensure to update the environment template before the **February, 13th 2025**. We impose this deadline to avoid delays for subsequent updates to our infrastructure.
16 -* Should you encounter any problems please your partner manager!
16 +* **Before using this, please take into consideration the following**:
17 +* Your Mendix app needs to run on **Java 17**
18 +* Your Mendix app needs to run on version 9.24.25 or higher
19 +** We have tested and support the LTS and MTS versions of Mendix with this eMagiz Mendix Connector
20 +* Share the activation key after the integrations are added to a release that is **activated**.
21 +* Should problems arise while implementing this, please contact us via our [[support department>>mailto:support@emagiz.com]].

19 -== **Minor changes** ==
20 -//__Help text improvements__//
21 -We have added updated the help texts on our (S)FTP components to better explain the local filter options. This to avoid confusion on the intention of those settings.
22 -
23 -//__Migration functionality removed__//
24 -We have removed Spring 6 related migration functionality from our portal given that all our customers are already migrated to the latest runtime image. As a result, this functionality became obsolete.
25 -
26 -//__Manage Alerting feedback__//
27 -We have slightly altered the user experience when configuring an alert in eMagiz with regards to the "Notification" part of the trigger. In here we now provide an explanation of what is going wrong when trying to activate the notifications **without** selecting **any** recipient. On top of that we now filter out **all** inactive users to ensure they cannot be selected as a recipient on a trigger.

29 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-236-ux-improvement-notifications-alerting.png]]
26 +//__Added View option on support objects__//
27 +We have added a view option that allows you to browse the list of support objects when you are **not** in "Start Editing" mode. This makes determining whether particular support objects exist and which ones you need before diving into building a flow much easier.
30 30  
31 31  == **Bug Fixes** ==
32 -//__Import from Store - Design__//
33 -The possibility of importing anything from the store in Design is now blocked when the system has no technical name yet. This is to avoid broken transformations within the Create phase of eMagiz.
30 +//__Auto-creation connector infra SOAP hosted endpoint__//
31 +We have changed the auto-creation behavior for SOAP web service systems. This means that we now properly create two support objects, Payload Root Endpoint Mapping, and SOAP Web service interceptors, to avoid errors when opening the entry flow for the first time.
34 34  
35 -//__Changing number of runtimes__//
36 -As a regular user, you can now increase and decrease the number of runtimes for existing Systems. This allows you to transfer them from Design Architecture to Deploy Architecture to be utilized in future deployments.
33 +//__Manage Dashboard Error__//
34 +We now prevent errors in the Manage Dashboard overview when an error occurs in a component with an id that does not follow the [id].[system].[flow] convention or when that value is longer than expected.
