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.
