Release Notes
Improved Disk Space Utilization for Elasticsearch and OpenSearch Deployments
To reduce disk space usage on the search engine side, we have optimized default field mappings which no longer use stored fields. Instead, the platform uses the fields parameter as the default document field retrieval method.
Important Considerations for Administrators:
- Review Advanced Settings: Administrators should carefully examine the "Additional Type Mappings" and "Override Type Mappings" settings within the search engine connector configuration.
Compare with Defaults: After reviewing the advanced settings, compare the existing mappings to the new defaults to identify potential adjustments. While stored fields are still supported, they are not recommended.
Potential Impact on Custom OSGi Modules:
While most users should experience seamless transitions, developers of custom OSGi modules that utilize Liferay's Java Search APIs may encounter changes in search response behavior. This could occur if the modules rely on specific fields being included in the search response. In such cases, developers may need to make adjustments to their modules to ensure correct functionality.
Generally Available (aka OOTB)
OpenAI can now be configured as a Text Embedding Provider for Semantic Search.
OpenAI offers two powerful third-generation embedding models promising lower costs, higher multilingual performance, and stronger overall performance compared to the predecessor models.
If your organization is already utilizing OpenAI's ChatGPT or other OpenAI Platform APIs, now you can take advantage of OpenAI's Vector Embeddings capability to deliver semantically more relevant search results through Liferay's semantic search feature (BETA) without the need to sign up for another service.
Admins can now leverage Data Set actions to send targeted requests to a specified endpoint. This enables dynamic updates to persisted objects, such as changing a user's status to "Inactive." While the request body content is currently static, this powerful feature provides a flexible way to manage and modify data within your system.
The Data Set Manager sorting tab has changed its purpose. From now on, the sorting options created under this section will be added to an Order Drop Down that is added to the Management Bar. This way, users will be able to sort by different criteria, even if those criteria are not visible in the Data Set items.
Feature Status Change
SCIM provides a unified, RFC compliant way to keep user/group data in sync between different applications. Liferay is a service provider and enables clients to be connected. Though the defined RESTful APIs and schemas, clients can perform CRUD operations to keep resources in sync.
Feature Status Change
The vendor has deprecated OpenSSO/OpenAM, so there is no reason for us to keep it. The alternative, which is PingAM can be integrated using our existing OpenID connector or SAML Authentication.
