On LPS-136108: URLs using a virtual host are always reformatted on export and import, even in cases where they don't need to be the validation of the Web Content was added for Liferay layout URLs. Before this, there was no validation, so users could create their customizations where they could add different URLs to the Web Content's content. After the validation was added, some custom URLs became unable to be added to the Web Content. From user perspective this was a feature loss, so we decided to deliver a feature to make customers able to add their custom URLs to Web Content's content field. This feature is about adding a configuration for storing the user’s relative URL patterns. So custom URLs containing this pattern would bypass validation.

• Deletion of property upgrade.log.context.name. Now all upgrade related log lines are automatically tagged with the key upgrade.component, which provides more meaningful information.
• Upgrade Report is now compatible also with upgrade on startup, and it can be printed as Log Thread Context information.
• Upgrades log the result and the type of upgrade that has taken place after all the upgrade processes finish.
• New mBean available with upgrade on startup to obtain real time information about the status and the result of the upgrade.

As a Site Template Administrator: template propagations are run completely in the background and background tasks are executed in a sequence. The LAR from the Site Template export is cached, so different Sites can reuse it.

• LayoutSetPrototypeMergeBackgroundTaskExecutor always uses the latest Template version for the propagation.
• If there is already a queued background task for the Site, we don’t create a new one.
• If there is a background task in progress, we only create a new background task if the Template was modified.

Using LAR files for export/import in the portal are stored in DM. These LAR files can increase the size of the DM significantly. We have changed this, so the LARs are not kept in the DM after the export/import process.
