The AMD Loader are being deprecated and they will be removed in the future. Liferay DXP officially supports ESM, which is the official standardized module system for JavaScript, while AMD was a third-party solution.

By adopting ESM, products align with the language's native capabilities and future direction. Modern browsers now natively support ESM, allowing for direct use without transpilation or additional loaders. This can lead to reduced bundle sizes, faster initial page loads and simplified development workflows. This will imply also the deprecation of Liferay-CLI.

We have implemented a new translation status feature in the web content editor, labeled "Translating," which provides information about the number of translated fields and those still requiring translation. This feature helps users to quickly identify areas needing translation. Additionally, all translatable fields, including metadata, are now conveniently displayed on the left side of the screen, reducing the likelihood of overlooking them.

Users can readily spot content that is not visible to Guest users through an icon, whether it's in list or table view or within the web content editor. Additionally, this feature is accessible in the item selector, empowering users to discern which content is not viewable by Guest users.

You can now have access to the event’s details when selecting a calendar event and be redirected to the already existing details page of that particular event. It is also possible to map a Calendar Event’s specific URL, along with some other fields, in order to use it in emails so the recipient can click on it and be redirected to the Event’s details.

Now it is possible to easily identify the content you have created and any recent content you generated. This enhancement streamlines and optimizes this workflow.

Easily configure the friendly URLs for the different asset types, updating URL separators. In addition to that, now users are able to set categories within a blog’s friendly URL and easily identify by the URL what is the main topic of the page they are visiting.

This feature aims to refine the Analytics Cloud Usage Page. Alongside UI enhancements for a better user experience, we focused on enhancing data accuracy and real-time precision. Our efforts aimed to eliminate data discrepancies and prioritize transparency for the users.

Key Changes:

1. To promote pricing transparency, we removed the outdated prices from the Workspace settings and implemented a clear message prompting users to reach out to their Customer Success Manager for information on upgrading their plan.

2. Aiming to simplify the interface and highlight pertinent subscription details, some changes were made to the UI of the Subscription and Usage menu, focusing on displaying relevant information to the customer related to their current plan.

We're introducing advanced script loading options for JavaScript Client Extensions in Liferay, providing developers more control over how JavaScript is applied to pages. This update allows the specification of async and defer attributes directly in the extension's configuration, optimizing the loading process and improving page performance.
Benefits for users:

• Improved Page Load Performance: by setting async or defer attributes, scripts can be loaded non-blocking, enhancing page responsiveness.
• Enhanced Control: developers can pre-set these attributes in the YAML configuration or through the UI, ensuring scripts behave consistently across all pages without further adjustment.
• Streamlined Configuration: once set, these attributes are locked at the extension level, eliminating discrepancies and simplifying script management.

Allow developers to specify additional attributes to the <script> tag when deploying in with the JS Client Extension.

Example usage in client-extension.yaml: liferay-portal/workspaces/liferay-sample-workspace/client-extensions/liferay-sample-global-js-2/client-extension.yaml at master · liferay/liferay-portal

    scriptElementAttributes:
        async: true
        data-attribute: "value"
        data-senna-track: "permanent"
        fetchpriority: "low"

Or, developers can configure the attributes via the create Client Extension UI too:

When configuring a JS CX on a page and async/defer Boolean attributes are present in the CX (set in the yaml / defined through the UI), the following behaviors apply in regards to the Load type options:

1. The attribute set in the CX will be used and the ability to change it when applying it on a page will be disabled.
2. When both attributes are set in the CX, async will be applied.
3. When async or defer is set to false in the CS, the related option will be removed from the Load selector. (e.g. if defer: false the load options available for the user will be default and async).

This feature introduces the capability to connect Liferay Objects with SugarCRM Objects, empowering users to synchronize and store their data efficiently between the two platforms. By bridging these systems, users can streamline their workflows, enhance data consistency, and leverage the robust features of both Liferay and SugarCRM.

Users can now, with low effort, connect their Liferay and SugarCRM environments, eliminating the need for manual data transfers and reducing the risk of errors. This enhancement not only simplifies data management but also enhances the overall user experience by providing a cohesive and integrated ecosystem for managing customer data.
