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.
