We refactored the way Liferay scripts were managed, so admins can define stricter policies like:

script-src '[$NONCE$]'; script-src-attr 'unsafe-inline';

Limitations: If a policy like the one above is configured, the parts of the product that uses a rich-text editor will not work correctly. Analyze your scenario to identify how strict your policy can be in order to make the solution work.

Now users can configure the values for the following properties from settings (system, instance or site settings):

• session.timeout.auto.extend
• session.timeout.auto.extend.offset

When the Upgrade Report is enabled, the output directory of the report can be configured with the new portal property upgrade.report.dir

If this property is not set, the upgrade report can be found in the default directory:

• portal-tools-db-upgrade-client/reports for the upgrade tool.
• {liferay-home}/reports if upgrade was executed on startup.

With this feature we extending the SCIM implementation with User Group un/provisioning as well with the User Group membership un/provisioning.

Previously customers would add captchas using a TagLib. But this is no longer useful since customers are not deploying JSPs. The Captcha API enables this functionality to be used in arbitrary contexts.

Sell and manage SKUs by adding different Units of Measure to the SKU. Configure the Unit of Measure to optionally allow for sales in decimal quantities. Units of Measure have their own pricing and inventory. Once configured, they add to the shopping experience of the buyer who can now purchase SKUs in different Units of measure.

Allow clients to request a quote for individual products instead of setting a price. Includes the option to use a Price List or a Promotion to price the Product as "Price on Application". There is also the ability to activate the "Request a quote" option on a fully priced cart for a particular channel.

New Account Type of Supplier. A Supplier can be linked to a catalog and to a channel to allow the supplier manage their own products, price lists, promotions, catalogs, discounts, inventory and channel in order to be able to fulfill orders for their own products.

Used in Conjunction with Supplier Accounts, this object's rule, once configured, splits Commerce Orders automatically by the Catalog that each Product belongs to. The Channel on the Order is updated to be the channel linked to the same supplier that the catalog is linked to. The order splitting rule effectively allows the supplier to manage orders for their own specific products.

Now, users are able to visually understand the structure of their objects and how they connect with each other to result in the platform model.

Now, users are able to fill out object entries in parts, allowing them to save data as draft and return at their convenience to complete.

A new set of tooling is being provided, to centralize all the different tooling into a single solution, therefore, stand-alone tooling like the Fragments Toolkit does not make sense anymore as a stand-alone tool. In addition to that, the fragment toolkit needed upgrades to prevent some vulnerabilities that could happen. Therefore, we recommend adopting other solutions for now. The Fragment Toolkit will remain available for a minimum of one year. 

The Category Facet uses assetVocabularyCategoryIds field for aggregation. The required mapping and indexer changes have been available since 7.4 GA46/U46 (LPS-156503: Display, Scope and Filter Categories by Vocabulary in the Category Facet).

Note: Reindex is required after all upgrades.

Aiming to provide a better way to manage Object entries, now Display Pages allow the creation of Object Edit experiences, using Forms Container and Fragments.

When using a Form Container in a Display Page, submitting it will now update the object entry being displayed.

This, combined with the possibility to use multiple display pages at the same time, and the new “Save as Draft” option for objects, enable a whole new set of possibilities for customers, such as creating multi-step processes out of the box.

Now the users can easily identify components that may cause performance issues in their Pages.

We have added a new tab on the Page Audit to show the users the back-end render times of the different components, as well as warnings to help identify specific components configurations that may lead to performance issues. Those warnings also appear on the Edit mode, so the user is aware of possible issues during the page creation.

Now, users are able to visually understand the structure of their objects and how they connect with each other to result in the platform model.

New extension point allows for external custom rules to be written to determine what SKU's can be linked to a product as Options. This is limited to dynamic pricing scenarios. Discounts can still be created to discount specific product combinations.

Sell and manage SKUs by adding different Units of Measure to the SKU. Configure the Unit of Measure to optionally allow for sales in decimal quantities. Units of Measure have their own pricing and inventory. Once configured, they add to the shopping experience of the buyer who can now purchase SKUs in different Units of measure.

We have created a new application that helps developers to build APIs based on custom Objects in a Low Code/No Code UI. This new feature allows users to define the whole structure of the API, from the endpoint’s name to the data model of the request and response schemas.

And, because the persistence layer of the API Builder is Objects, all capabilities are available at the API layer and every object has its own CRUD API application created by default.

So, from the UI or from the API, now users can create custom API Applications from scratch.

The scope of this beta feature only covers the creation of GET methods to retrieve a collection of elements with the possibility of creating pre filters and sorts.

Now admins can define the default sorting for a dataset view. You can select the field to sort by when users access the page with the data set view as well as the direction (ascending or descending). It is possible to add more than one field. In this case, results will be sorted following the order of the fields, so it will start sorting based on the first field, for elements with the same value for that field, it will continue sorting based on the second field and so on.

Admins can define filters to make them available for end users visiting pages with the dataset fragment. There are 3 types of filters available:

• Date filters: compatible with fields of type date. Admins can provide a name to the filter as well as provide a “From” and “To” dates to be pre-applied if needed.
• Selection filters: This filter allows admins to configure a picklist as the source of the options for the filter.
• Client extension: This new client extension enables admins and developers to fully customize the filter experience and add new types of filters depending on their needs.

• In order to use this feature enable “Data Set Manager” in the BETA section of the Feature Flags menu.

Apart from exposing information in tables, with the Data Set Manager now admins will be able to define actions linked to each of the elements of the data set. For each action:

• Admins can provide a localized label
• Choose the icon to be used
• Provide the URL to redirect the user to. In case you need to parametrize it so each row has a different URL, you can do it by adding it between brackets as part of the URL, for example myURL/{id}/editPage will look for “id” in the Headless response and substitute for the corresponding value in the URL.
• With “Headless Action Key” admins can associate an action to a headless endpoint, which takes permissions into account, so the action will only be shown to the user if the corresponding headless action is present in the response. For example, you can link an “edit” action to the “update” Headless Key.
• Provide an optional Confirmation Message if needed.

• In order to use this feature enable “Data Set Manager” in the BETA section of the Feature Flags menu.

Now we prevent content creators from generating page conflicts and errors by automatically locking pages when they are opened in Edit Mode, not allowing other users edit it at the same time. Beside that, a recurrent process reviews all locked pages to unblock them automatically if no activity is registered. Administrators can also unlock them manually if it’s needed.

The old import modal for Fragments and Page Templates is substituted by a new special import page, a new page with the import outcomes is added with the results of the process and last, but not least, the user is provided more import options for a better management of the already existing files: Overwrite Existing Entries, Overwrite Existing Items, Keep Both. A WARNINGS label is added as well to the fragments that were imported with warnings and that could cause malfunctions.

In the portal, Site Administrators are able to create different User Experiences for Pages. Publications can publish these Experiences. However it can be confusing for Publication Reviewers that they can not review changes introduced in all the Experiences, which are going to be published. Here we added the ability to Publication Reviewers to view changes added in all the Experiences which are going to be published.

We have received multiple requests about users having difficulties resolving conflicts during a Publication process. We listened for these requests, and decided to improve the quality of feedback provided to users about conflicts. Making the resolution of these conflicts easier.

Some applications do not support Publications. That situation can be really confusing when users try to use one of these applications, while inside a publication, and expect it to work together with Publications. We are aiming to make the user experience of the portal during publication as smooth as possible, so we decided to add a mechanism which provides the users with information if they start using one of these apps.

Improving performance is one of the main elements in our product strategy. Here we worked on improving the performance of the Review Changes screen. We have already improved the performance of other screens, and in the future we keep improving the performance of the screens.
