DXP is now certified for use with the MySQL 8.4 database version. Also applies to 2025.Q1 LTS.

Key Benefits:

Allows users to update to the latest LTS version of MySQL database. As an LTS release, MySQL 8.4 is the most stable and predictable version for production environments since it receives bug fixes and security patches for an extended period from Oracle. This longer support window reduces the need for frequent major upgrades.

Liferay DXP now allows on-demand migration of Virtual Instances across different installations, making existing environments portable and easier to manage—especially in cloud-based deployments. Whether you're moving from on-premise to Liferay SaaS, or just shifting between environments (like UAT to Production) on the same installation, this feature simplifies the process by allowing instances to be migrated, instead of the entire database.

Feature can be enabled with Beta Feature Flag: LPD-11342

With the upcoming release of Jakarta and new application server versions, Liferay is focused on becoming a full feature enterprise platform. Supporting Java 17 prevents usage of Java 21 features that will improve performance and reduce cloud costs. We are marking Java 17 for deprecation as we plan to fully focus on Java 21 in 2026.

This feature aims to enable all fields of an object to be localizable and displayed according to the user's chosen locale settings.

Key Benefits:

• The localization feature will support all existing locales in the system

• Custom Object entries and Modifiable System Objects entries

• Localization settings are now managed at the individual field level
