When users access a site in a language different from their user profile language, the following Information message is shown:

Now administrators can configure if this message will show up or not from System or Instance. Go to Instance Settings > Pages > Friendly URL Redirection and check/uncheck the “Show Alternative Layout Friendly URL Message” option for the appropriate value.

This feature empowers users to create content use cases on top of objects framework, allowing admins to enable localization for objects' entries text fields.

This feature allows customers, who need more capabilities than what the out of the box Expression Builder provides, to add their custom validations in Objects framework without running their data through an external microservice.

Evolving the user experience when object validations fail specifying which information field end-users need to update.

This feature allows admin users to configure whether to send one email with everyone in copy or many emails individually to each email address.

Enabling this feature will allow users to dynamically populate fields using expressions with information created from data filled and provided by other fields.

Traditionally in Liferay, it has been hard to manage features deprecation because customers kept using the old features even if we announced deprecation and eventual replacements.

Now, we are able to better manage deprecation processes with the following changes:

• Features deprecation notice is increased from 6 months to 12 months. It applies to the Intended Functionality, as described in our Support Policy.
• Now, deprecated features might be kept inside a Deprecation Feature Flag during the deprecation period. These feature flags work as follows:
  • For upgrades, Deprecation Flags are active by default, therefore customers still see the deprecated feature. No disruption is perceived.
  • For new instances created, Deprecation Flag is inactive by default, therefore, the deprecated feature is hidden and it requires activation to be used. It prevents users from unconsciously using a deprecated feature.

• Deprecated features are identified in DXP with a new deprecation badge.

When “Manage Users” permission is added to an Account Admin, the Admin can invite, assign and create Users. We separated the “Invite User” permission so it can be used without providing the other permissions to the User.
