• Deletion of property upgrade.log.context.name. Now all upgrade related log lines are automatically tagged with the key upgrade.component, which provides more meaningful information.
• Upgrade Report is now compatible also with upgrade on startup, and it can be printed as Log Thread Context information.
• Upgrades log the result and the type of upgrade that has taken place after all the upgrade processes finish.
• New mBean available with upgrade on startup to obtain real time information about the status and the result of the upgrade.

Creation of a new property called upgrade.report.dl.storage.size.timeout that specifies the number of seconds that the upgrade report generation will wait for calculating the DL size before timing out. This property is set to 10 by default but it can be modified in the portal-ext.properties file.

Kaleo Forms was already in maintenance mode. It is now being moved to deprecated, so it can be removed at the same time as DDL in about a year. This solution is being replaced by Objects, Workflow, and Form Container Fragments.

The portlets that are in the Contacts module will be deprecated.

These are:

1. Contacts Center
2. Members
3. My Contacts
4. Profile

In the first step, the modules were pushed to the maintenance mode.

These modules are obsolete ones and are no longer being used. They have been moved to deprecate and later it will be removed.

A new out-of-the-box (OOTB) email notification template based on Objects. This template will be automatically sent to the order creator when an order status changes to 'pending'.

The notification includes:

• Order number

• Order date

• Account name

• Shipping address

• Order item summary

• Order total

We will move away from Commerce notifications and deprecate them and we will use Objects for the new ones.

This enhancement introduces configurable default permissions for newly created pages. Admins can set these permissions at both the instance and site levels. Instance-level settings are managed in a new Instance Settings panel, while site-specific overrides can be configured in the Site Configuration area.

The main change in this initiative is the new capability to control Analytics Cloud (AC) tracking through the cookie manager. We have updated the description of the Explicit Cookie Consent Mode to clarify that enabling this configuration via Preference Handling will disable Analytics Cloud tracking and other features. Now, if the Explicit Cookie Consent Mode is enabled, no cookies are set until the user agrees to their usage; otherwise, all cookies are set until the user opts out of them.

We have also introduced a new Utility Page, named Cookies List, which serves as a central hub for all cookies supported by Liferay. This page lists all four categories of cookies (strictly necessary, functional, performance, and personalization) and provides detailed information on each specific cookie, including its purpose and expiration date. For that, we have created new system objects to facilitate the management of cookies. If customers use additional third-party cookies, they can easily add new entries for these cookies, and they will automatically be displayed on the Utility Page.

Additionally, once a user is suppressed, their data is completely anonymized, making it impossible to trace any data back to a specific individual.

This initiative focused on enhancing user interface (UI) of both Downloading Reports and Path Analysis tool, establishing a cohesive design pattern across them. In particular, we committed to standardizing the presentation of Download Reports, encompassing various formats such as PDF and CSV, within the Downloading Reports Feature. This strategic investment underscores our dedication to delivering high-quality solutions that effectively address the evolving needs of our stakeholders.

Users can now efficiently locate images or videos by specific size categories (small, medium, or large) using the new filter feature on the Content Dashboard. Additionally, they can easily filter content or documents based on a range of dates for various lifecycle events, including creation, display, expiration, modification, publication, or review. This enhancement streamlines content management and improves user accessibility to relevant documents.

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

Users can easily identify and filter fields that are already translated and those that still need translation within the content editor. Additionally, they can choose to mark a language as translated even if some fields are not yet translated. Users also have the option to reset a translation to its default values with ease. These features will streamline the translation process and enhance efficiency.

Since Publications provides a final end point for users to review changes, it would benefit content editors tremendously if they could also review their workflow changes.

There is an unacceptable decrease in performance observed within large Publications. With publications housing a large number of individual changes, the current system struggles to maintain acceptable performance levels, especially during conflict checking and publishing publications. These two phases leverage handwritten SQL queries to perform those tasks that allow Publications a shortcut through our persistence layer to maximize performance in small publications. In large publications though, further considerations must be taken to ensure consistent performance.

Allow users to map Repeatable fields of a Web Content Structure already defined in Fragments and Collection Displays.

The /search and /suggestions APIs comes with the following enhancements:

• New, optional scope parameter supporting Site (Group) IDs and External Reference Codes (ERCs) in /search. The scope parameter of /suggestions has also been updated to have the same semantics.

• /search now is in RELEASE status.

• The APIs now are available under the /o/search/v1.0/ endpoint with backward compatibility for current /o/portal-search-rest/v1.0 calls through server-side forward.

Refer to the documentation for more details.

Clause Contributors configuration is now stored within the blueprint’s JSON with a smaller footprint, reducing the size of a blueprint by more than 90% when using the default setting (all contributors enabled → Enable All) or the new Disable All option.

The behavior of the different options is as follows:

• with Enable All, all current and future query clause contributors introduced to the platform will be enabled automatically. Disable All behaves the opposite way,

• with Customize, the configuration is locked to the specified contributor list.
