Data Set Manager lets from now to map Array structures, so a given cell of a Data Set can show list of values, for example to list the roles of a user or the tags of a product.

When the users are facing a Frontend Data Set the items can show actions to interact with them that are set in the Data Set Manager. From now own, when the user navigates to a destination URL through an item or creation action, the current URL is added to the destination page, so the user can return to the Data Set after performing the action seamlessly.

Users can now create picklists beginning with capital letters. One key feature is that now users will be able to filter by Active and Inactive values.

With the new support of Java JDK 17 and 21 runtimes, Java 11 will no longer be supported for DXP runtime on 2024.Q3 or later.

Liferay Workspace offers support for re-compiling custom modules on JDK 17 or 21.

Commerce Classic is a new Site Initializer based on the Liferay Classic theme.

The order pages have been redesigned using a Display Page Template for the Order with Fragments, overall offering greater flexibility and customization options. This allows for more dynamic and personalized order experiences.

The new Order Pages now enables the users to select shipping and payment options directly from the order page. Once all required information is filled in, users can quickly checkout with a single click, streamlining the purchasing process.

The Liferay Marketplace has undergone a significant architectural enhancement with the formalization and enforcement of Liferay Catalogs. This structure clearly categorizes all Liferay-developed applications, providing explicit transparency on support levels, update schedules, and intended usage.

All Liferay-published applications are now distributed under three dedicated, high-level catalogs:

1. Liferay Inc.: Contains all fully supported, production-ready applications, including crucial productivity tools, security utilities, connectors, and Experience Management features. These apps follow a strict qcial hub for all new, experimental technologies and potential future core features. Apps in this catalog are not officially supported and are intended for testing and feedback purposes only.

2. Liferay Community: Hosts officially deprecated applications that remain available for backward compatibility, as well as applications contributed and offered under open-source licenses. These apps receive support until their latest compatible DXP version and follow a quarterly maintenance schedule.

Key Benefits:

• Targeted Discovery: Efficiently filter the Marketplace to find specific types of applications, such as mission-critical integration connectors (Liferay Inc.) or bleeding-edge experimental features (Liferay Labs).

• Predictable Updates: Rely on the consistent quarterly update schedule for all fully supported (Liferay Inc.) and Community-maintained applications.

A new set of fragments has been introduced under a dedicated category called “Account Selector.”.

These fragments allow to compose and customize the account selector according to their specific business needs.

Here is a list of the newly added fragments for building the account selector:

• Account Selector: this fragment is the main orchestrator of the entire component, handles the communication with external components, the dropdown mechanism and the panels (up to 5 can be configured), and manages the main drop zone areas

• Account Selector Button: OOTB available Account Selector call-to-action

  (preserves the current logic for page/component refreshes), used to open/close the account selector (any custom button hooked up with the Javascript business logic can be used).

• Account Selector Panel: this fragment can be drag-and-dropped inside the Account Selector’s panel drop zone (each panel is a tab that can be navigated in the dropdown) and creates a drop zone to place account-related views

• Accounts Data Set: Data Set fragment to display the list of selectable accounts for the current user

• Create Account Button: configurable call-to-action that allows the creation of new accounts, maintaining the existing Account Selector flow.

• Account Orders Data Set: Data Set fragment to display the list of selectable orders for the current account

• Create Order Button: configurable call-to-action that allows the creation of new orders, maintaining the existing Account Selector flow.

A fully configured Account Selector is also available out-of-the-box (OOTB) in the Commerce Classic Site Initializer (LPD-20379).

Key Benefits:

• Flexible Customization: Easily tailor the account selector to match your site’s structure and user needs.

• Improved User Experience: Enables intuitive navigation and personalization of account-related views.

• Configurable Control: Enable or disable specific features and interactions without custom development.

The new Configurable Order Scoping feature gives administrators more control over how orders are displayed on the site. Two new configuration settings have been added within each Channel:

• Open Orders Visibility Scope

• Placed Orders Visibility Scope

Each configuration offers two visibility options:

• Account (default): Maintains the existing behavior, where users can see all open or placed orders across all accounts they have access to, regardless of who created the order.

• User: Limits visibility so users only see orders they personally created for the accounts they are part of.

In addition, a new permission—“View Organization Orders”—has been introduced under Orders. This permission ensures that Sales Agents can continue to view all orders associated with their accounts, regardless of the scoping configuration. The permission is automatically assigned to the Sales Agent role by default.

Key Benefits:

• Flexible visibility control: Administrators can configure order visibility according to organizational or role-based needs.

• Improved data privacy: Restrict order visibility to the creator when required.

• Backward compatibility: Default setting preserves existing system behavior to avoid workflow disruption.

• Enhanced role management: The new “View Organization Orders” permission ensures key roles, such as Sales Agents, retain appropriate visibility.

The Manage Product Availability at Scale feature empowers catalog managers to efficiently manage individual products through multiple configuration pages containing all catalog’s products. With tools for manual configuration, eligibility-based visibility, and some bulk editing, this feature ensures streamlined operations and enhanced control over product offerings.

The Account Selector Customization feature has moved from BETA to RELEASE.

With Liferay's New Headless Content Management System (CMS), creating, organizing, and publishing content is simpler because all content management tasks are brought together in a single interface. Your content is independent of its presentation, allowing you to reuse it across sites, pages, and APIs.

You can work with articles, documents, media, and more, while taking advantage of features like global asset views, organized spaces, and cross-site publishing. Thanks to Liferay Objects, the CMS provides flexible content structures and ensures a smooth, consistent authoring and publishing experience.

Key Benefits:

• Enhanced Efficiency and Governance: Achieve immediate content visibility and streamlined collaboration by centralizing assets into a single, unified view. Rigorous versioning and workflow controls ensure consistent content quality and compliance across the organization.

• Maximum Agility and Portability: Leverage a modern headless-first, API-driven architecture (REST/GraphQL) that makes content fully portable, ensuring instant readiness for distribution and maximum reach across all your digital channels.

• Measurable Performance and Data-Driven Strategy: Empower content owners with embedded analytics and strong preview capabilities, enabling teams to make instant, informed decisions that drive superior business outcomes.

This epic delivers a comprehensive solution for exporting and importing vocabularies and categories with associated data across Liferay environments, tackling potential roadblocks to ensure a smooth and efficient migration process.

Key Benefits:

• Achieve True Content Portability: Facilitate the easy and standardized movement of content architecture (vocabularies/categories) between different instances, crucial for multi-site rollouts.

• Accelerate Deployment Pipelines: Ensure fast, reliable, and repeatable promotion of entire content structures between environments, maintaining configuration consistency with minimal manual effort.

• Enable Bulk Management & Setup: Quickly bootstrap new environments with pre-defined taxonomies and enable efficient, large-scale bulk editing of existing category metadata via the export-modify-import cycle.

This feature introduces “Lazy References” to ensure import success regardless of deployment order. If an imported item references a missing Vocabulary or Category, the system creates a temporary “incomplete” dummy object. This special status allows the main content import to succeed immediately. The project’s focus is managing the status lifecycle to allow a smooth transition of these incomplete dummies to a fully approved state when the complete taxonomy object is imported later.

Key Benefits:

• Order-Agnostic Deployment: Guarantees successful imports by decoupling content from its taxonomy dependencies, allowing content and categories to be deployed in any sequence.

• High Success Rate: Prevents import batch failures by automatically creating placeholders, isolating cleanup and ensuring that core content is immediately available.

The Analytics Cloud Synchronized User Deletion feature (LPD-45375) has been promoted to General Availability (GA), and its corresponding feature flag has been removed.

This update ensures consistency across platforms by allowing users to synchronously delete users from DXP, with those deletions being immediately reflected in Analytics Cloud.

The Static Segments feature has been formally deprecated and removed from Analytics Cloud. The feature has been under a "deprecation" feature flag for several quarters, and the retirement process is now complete.

The Custom Assets feature has been formally deprecated and removed from Analytics Cloud. The feature had been under a "deprecation" feature flag for several quarters, and the retirement process is now complete.
