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.
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!

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. For more information, please check out these courses:

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]].

12 +* Pressing the 'show main dashboard' button returns back to the unfiltered master dashboard.
13 +* For detailed views the 'show main dashboard' button is on the left.
14 +* For selection dropdowns the selected variables are locked to the top for easy deselection.
15 +* Graphs on a page share the same crosshair. This means that when selecting a time frame in one graph the same time frame is shown in all corresponding graphs on the same page.

17 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-maindashboard.png]]
25 25  
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.
28 28  
20 +//__Specific improvements__//
21 +
22 +* The following graphs now show the unit of measurement per time frame (i.e. bytes/2h)
23 +** Queue Statistics - Overview
24 +*** Message Througput
25 +** Event Streaming Statistics - Overview
26 +*** Bytes In
27 +*** Bytes Out
28 +*** Messages In

31 +
32 +* The following graph now shows an improved unit of measurement
33 +** Runtime Statistics - Key Metrics
34 +*** Log events are counted as a sum instead of a maximum per data point.
35 +* The following data measurement graphs indicate whether the component was on or off when hovering over the data points.
36 +** Runtime Statistics - Other Metrics
37 +*** Data measurements
38 +** Queue Statistics - Other Metrics
39 +*** Data measurements
40 +
41 +* The following graphs now show the maximum value within the selected time frame
42 +** Runtime Statistics - Overview
43 +*** Memory usage
44 +*** CPU usage

52 +
53 +== **Feedback Items** ==
54 +
55 +//__Failover deployment plan__//
56 +The deployment plan steps with type 'Failover' are now deprecated, meaning they can no longer be added to a deployment plan.
57 +
58 +//__Edit mode flow testing__//
59 +Test messages can now be edited or removed while in the edit mode of the flow testing functionality.
60 +
61 +//__Missing properties overview__//
62 +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.
63 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-missing-properties.png]]
64 +
65 +//__Legacy release notes__//
66 +The legacy release notes tab has been removed.
67 +
68 +//__SSL helptext__//
69 +The SSL section in runtime settings has more elaborate helptext.
70 +
71 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-ssl-enabled.png]]
72 +
73 +//__Memory warning__//
74 +A pop-up with a warning will be shown when containers are configured with less memory than recommended.
75 +
76 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-memory-settings.png]]
77 +
78 +//__Reuse test messages__//
79 +It is now possible to reuse the test messages created in other flows within the routing and vice versa.
80 +
81 +//__Unused properties__//
82 +We added logging for when properties are deleted from the unused properties screen.
83 +
84 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-228-unused-properties.png]]
85 +
86 +//__Styling component__//
87 +The styling of the "File Item Reader Message Source" component configuration pop-up has been improved.
88 +
89 +//__Volume mappings helptext__//
90 +The helptext of volume mappings has been improved.

93 +
29 29  == **Bug Fixes** ==
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.
95 +//__Legacy properties__//
96 +We removed legacy properties in connections through the eMagiz Mendix connector. This means that you will not get blocked anymore when deploying to Production.
32 32  
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.
98 +//__Exceeding memory__//
99 +We fixed a bug where new machines could be deployed with exceeding memory.
35 35  
101 +//__Copy paste__//
102 +The copy paste functionality in the flow designer does not change the configuration of existing flow components anymore.
