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.
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!

8 -== **Minor Changes** ==
8 +== **Deployment Plan Improvements** ==
9 9  
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.
10 +//__Monitoring Trigger - Improvements__//
12 12  
13 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-240-improved-icon-alerts.png]]
12 +* For the step type "Monitoring Trigger," we have re-introduced the "Enable" option.
14 14  
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.

18 -[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-240-improved-badge-alerts.png]]
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.
19 19  
23 +[[image:Main.Images.Release Blog.WebHome@release-229-disable-option.png]]
24 +
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}}
28 +
29 +//__Default Plan - Improvements__//
30 +
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.

36 +
37 +== **SFTP Authentication Option Added - New Runtime Image** ==
38 +
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".
40 +
41 +* Password
42 +* Keyboard-Interactive
43 +* Password and Keyboard-Interactive
44 +* Keyboard-Interactive and Password

47 +
20 20  == **Bug Fixes** ==
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.
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.
23 23  
24 -//__Infra flow reset Mendix Connector__//
25 -Infra flows for systems labeled as a "Mendix Connector" can no be reset once more under all circumstances, also when your model utilize the code mapping functionality.
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.
