Release Notes
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.
In order to allow developers to exclude directories from the build, a new property has been added: liferay.workspace.dir.excludes.globs=
These modules are obsolete ones and are no longer being used. They have been moved to deprecate and later it will be removed.
Per Elastic’s product lifecycle, Elasticsearch 7.17.x versions are supported and maintained until Elasticsearch version 9 is released. While Elastic does not provide specific release dates for future releases, for Elasticsearch 9.0.0, the new release is anticipated in early calendar year 2025.
Therefore, Liferay strongly recommends all customers with 7.17.x deployments to begin the planning phase for an upgrade project to the latest compatible Elasticsearch 8.x version.
Compatibility with Elasticsearch 8 is available on 7.4 U81+. → Operating Liferay 7.4 GA/Update 81+ with Elasticsearch 8 - Liferay
Note: The Elasticsearch 8.x compatibility is provided through the bundled Elasticsearch 7 connector and the REST API Compatibility of Elasticsearch 8.
Liferay ships with an updated Elasticsearch connector using 7.17.21 as the client version and also as version of Sidecar Elasticsearch server for development and testing purposes.
Elasticsearch 8.15.x has been tested and added to the compatibility matrix to the corresponding Liferay versions.
Note: Compatibility with newer Elasticsearch minor versions is tested in two ways:
Latest-Latest: Testing the latest Liferay version with the latest available minor version of Elasticsearch → e.g. Master/2024.Q3 + Elasticsearch 8.15
Minimum-Latest: Testing the minimum Liferay version where Elasticsearch 8 compatibility was first made available with the latest minor version of Elasticsearch → DXP 7.4 U81/DXP 7.3 U31 + Elasticsearch 8.15
This way Liferay can allow a broader deployment base to operate their stack with an up-to-date search engine version.
As Elasticsearch is usually releases a new Minor version roughly every two months, this is a recurring process and a planed activity in each quarter.

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

Feature Status Change

This improvement will help them optimize for a wider range of keywords, leading to better insights and more effective strategies.
This new feature enables users to add individual attributes for breakdown and filtering within the existing event analysis functionality.
