Liferay Tomcat Bundles and Docker Images ship with Elasticsearch 8.18 as the sidecar search engine.

Benefits

The Elasticsearch server runtime included in Liferay DXP Tomcat Bundles and Docker Images (aka. Sidecar Elasticsearch, located under [Liferay-Home]/elasticsearch-sidecar) is provided as a convenience for local development and testing only. It is neither suitable nor supported for production.

Instead, configure Liferay to connect to Elasticsearch as a self-managed, standalone server or cluster of server nodes. 

Collections with Blueprints (FF: LPS-129412) available as since DXP 7.4 U88 is now in RELEASE status and can be enabled via Feature Flags > Release.

Addressing prior limitations, custom cell renderers created with Client Extensions now provide full row data access. This empowers developers with expanded options and greater flexibility for their implementations so they can create a renderer for a cell and include data from all the row mixing the contents. For example, you can create a cell to calculate the volume of a furniture good based on the different dimensions fields.

Benefits

• Expand developer capabilities to create more powerful Client Extensions for Data Set Cell Renderers

The Data Set has a revamped experience in terms of selection that also provides a quicker way to contextualize the user interaction.

When facing any of the visualizations (table, card, row) the user can click on the item body to perform single selection. This enhances rapid selection and better interaction.

Benefits

• More modern selection pattern that follows industry trends

• Clearer states for the user to distinguish when an item is:

  • Selected (active)

  • Hovered

  • Both at the same time
