Part of the recurring compatibility testing, Elasticsearch 8.13.x has been added to the compatibility matrix to the corresponding Liferay versions.
Note: Compatibility with newer Elasticsearch minor versions is always tested in two ways:
Latest-Latest: Testing the latest Liferay version with the latest available minor version of Elasticsearch → e.g.
Master/2024.Q2 + Elasticsearch 8.13Minimum-Latest: Testing the minimum Liferay version where Elasticsearch 8 compatibility was first made available with the latest minor version of Elasticsearch →
DXP 7.4 U81/DXP 7.3 U31 + Elasticsearch 8.13
This way we can not only provide compatibility for the latest Liferay versions, but also backwards compatibility, allowing a broader customer base and deployments to operate their stack with an up-to-date search engine version.
As Elasticsearch is usually released a new Minor version roughly every two months, this is a recurring process and a planned activity for our team.

The solution involves implementing advanced filtering options on the Builds and Deployments pages of the platform. This feature allows users to filter builds and deployments by key parameters such as date and environment. It is structured as following:
Date Filter: users can select a specific date or a date range from a calendar interface. This allows to view builds and deployments that were created or modified within that timeframe, facilitating quick access to historical data or recent updates.
Environment Filter: this filter enables users to select from pre-defined environment options (e.g. development, testing, production) viewing only the builds and deployments relevant to the chosen environment. This is particularly useful for teams managing multiple environments and needing to track their respective changes efficiently.

For custom objects, we have add the possibility to upload and save an attachment file in only one step. As another field of the entry, users can upload directly a document to an attachment field using Base64 format.
"AttachmentField1" : {
"fileBase64" : "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAD0AAAAXCAIAAAA3N9DuAAAAA3NCSVQICAjb4U/gAAAAEHRFWH", "name" : "file.png"
}
And, to recover the values of the entry, they can do it in the same format using nested fields.
curl -X GET \ -u 'test@liferay.com:test' \ 'http://localhost:8080/o/c/mytestobjects/by-external-reference-code/users-computer-attachment-1?nestedFields=usersComputerAttachment1.fileBase64'
For sure, the previous options of uploading and downloading files of an entry are available too so the user can decide which to use in any case.
Only available for Custom Objects fields.

Until now, in GraphQL, it was not possible to create a query (or mutation) where the user could select the version to execute. Besides that, in case more than one endpoint had the same name but in different applications, you couldn’t select which one to use.
In order to make queries and mutations unique in GraphQL, we have created a new structure using a namespace with the following format:
Path + “_” + “v” + MayorVersion + “_” + MinorVersion ( 0 by default ).
Users can choose between using the previous structure ( always execute the last version or the first endpoint created) or the new one ( allow to select exactly what to execute using the namespace ). Both are available.
query {
structuredContents(siteKey: "20117") {
items {
title
}
}
}
VS
query {
headlessDelivery_v2_0 {
structuredContents(siteKey: "20117") {
items {
title
}
}
}
}
