6 -**Hi there, eMagiz developers!** In this release, we focused on tidying up our house to prepare for various cool things to come later this year. As a result, we have a series of improvements and bug fixes for you to enjoy.
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 and add it to our softcrow procedure. On top of that, we have some minor updates to improve the quality of the platform.

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.

10 -//__Alerts/Notifications improved UI/UX__//
11 -Alerts/Notifications now have an icon before the text to emphasize their meaning further. One example of such a change is shown below.
12 +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.

15 -//__Badge, Switch, and progress bar have an improved UI/UX__//
16 -We have updated our badge, switch, and progress bar components. This is to improve the overall quality and consistency of what we show the user. One example of such a change is shown below.

18 +* **Before using this, please take into consideration the following**:
19 +* The needed Mendix Marketplace module will be available starting **February 28.** We are currently **awaiting** approval from Mendix. Once this is final, the Marketplace module named "eMagiz Connector" can be found in the Mendix Marketplace. We will keep you updated on the status via our news outlet within my.emagiz.com.
20 +* Your Mendix app needs to run on **Java 17**
21 +* Your Mendix app needs to run on version 9.24.25 or higher
22 +** We have tested and support the LTS and MTS versions of Mendix with this eMagiz Mendix Connector
23 +* Share the activation key after the integrations are added to a release that is **activated**.
24 +* Should problems arise while implementing this, please contact us via our [[support department>>mailto:support@emagiz.com]].

27 +== **Minor Changes** ==
19 19  
29 +//__Added View option on support objects__//
30 +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.
31 +
20 20  == **Bug Fixes** ==
21 -//__Auto-creation API Operation entry gate__//
22 -We have changed the auto-creation behavior for entry gates. This means we now avoid creating functionality in these entry gates only relevant for flows running inside a Mendix app.
33 +//__Auto-creation connector infra SOAP hosted endpoint__//
34 +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.
23 23  
24 -//__Infra flow reset Mendix Connector__//
25 -Infra flows for systems labeled as a "Mendix Connector" can now be reset once more under all circumstances, also when your model utilizes the code mapping functionality.
36 +//__Manage Dashboard Error__//
37 +We now prevent errors in the Manage Dashboard overview when an error occurs in a component with an id that does not follow the {{code}}[id].[system].[flow]{{/code}} convention or when that value is longer than expected.
