Liferay Cloud now provides CI/CD support for Client Extensions on Liferay PaaS. Developers can integrate Client Extensions into their Git-based CI/CD pipelines, ensuring automatic builds and deployments alongside core Liferay services. This update enables automated validation, independent deployments, and faster release cycles for Client Extensions.

Highlights:

• Dedicated CI/CD Pipeline: Separate build pipeline for Client Extensions to prevent conflicts with core Liferay services.

• Automated Builds: Every commit triggers a new Client Extensions build, packaged as a LUFFA archive.

• Independent Deployments: Client Extensions builds deploy separately, improving release flexibility.

• Seamless Integration: Works with existing Git-based workflows on Liferay PaaS.

• Zero Downtime Deployments: Deploy client extensions without affecting the main Liferay service.

The SSL Certificate Management view now provides expiration alerts for certificates nearing expiration (e.g., within 30 days) and those that have already expired. Certificates must now be defined exclusively through the LCP.json file, simplifying management and ensuring consistency across deployments. This update reduces manual errors and ensures secure and uninterrupted deployments.

Highlights:

• Expiration Alerts: Notifications for certificates nearing expiration and those already expired, with clear visual indicators.

• Exclusive LCP.json Configuration: Certificates can only be defined through the LCP.json file.

• Improved Visibility: Organized list view showing certificate names, types, associated domains, and expiration dates.

• Proactive Management: Tools and alerts to help users maintain secure SSL/TLS configurations.

The vendor has deprecated OpenSSO/OpenAM, so there's no reason for us to keep it. The alternative, which is PingAM can be integrated using our existing OpenID connector or SAML Authentication.

This release expands the support of the Timeline History feature to Blogs, Wiki pages, Bookmarks, Forms, Knowledge base, Message boards, and Categories. The feature enhances the publication toolbar with tools to detect and manage collaboration conflicts.

• A timeline icon shows recent modifications in the same asset, which may have been done in production or parallel Publications.

• The user can view, discard, or move these changes directly from the toolbar.

• Warning icons appear to make users aware of current conflicts in the Publication.

Key benefits:

• Enhanced context for content editors and managers for a streamlined collaboration.

• New capabilities to detect conflicts before publishing time, while users may have more time to decide how to resolve conflicts without the go-live pressure.

Improved keyboard navigation and column resizing for Miller columns. Users can now navigate between columns both horizontally (deeper levels) and vertically (same level) using the keyboard. Column widths are also responsive, adapting to different screen sizes.

Added logging to indicate the completion of fragment deployments via the deploy folder. This provides better visibility into the deployment process and allows for tracking deployment duration.

There are some advantages of including a message like that, for example:

• Count the duration of a deployment
• See the fragment progress deployment until it is deployed.

• Boost Liferay’s platform with drag-and-drop, multi-selection, and cut/copy/paste features for easier field and fragment organization.

• Fine adjustments in the User Experience when managing page components through in bulk multiselection
