Fragments only can be dropped and mapped into the first item of a Collection Display

Collection Pages have been removed from page administrator.

The SEO configuration of a page has been moved from DDM to standard forms

The property permissions.view.dynamic.inheritance on the layouts (pages) has been modified. The logic to align with how the property functions in all other models:

1. It now applies only to the VIEW action.

2. It is now restrictive: To have VIEW access to a page, a user must possess the VIEW permission on that specific page and on all of its ancestor pages.

Ehcache 2.x is no longer officially maintained by the Java community. Moved DXP internal caching to use Ehcache 3.10.8.

This means any existing ehcache configuration xml files won't be directly compatible and will likely cause errors or unexpected behavior in the new 3.x environment. Users will need to review and rewrite these configurations according to the new 3.x schema.

The AMD Loader has been removed. Liferay DXP officially supports ESM, which is the official standardized module system for JavaScript, while AMD was a third-party solution. By adopting ESM, products align with the language's native capabilities and future direction. Modern browsers now natively support ESM, allowing for direct use without transpilation or additional loaders. This can lead to reduced bundle sizes, faster initial page loads and simplified development workflows.

Users who are using amd-loader must migrate to the Liferay.loader. See link for more details.

Until now, when we had 2 ItemSelectorViews with the same name, only one of them was taken into account when rendering. This is more noticeable now with the CMS where we have object definitions like Blogs. In order to allow the users to select all the object definitions and legacy entities, now they appear duplicated when they have the same name.

We recently updated our tracking logic within documents, replacing the previewed event with a new event: impressionMade. To align with this change, we also updated our current API to include a new metric — impressionMadeMetric — which consolidates impressions by summing both the new impressionMade events and the legacy previewed events.

What changed?

The Display tab in the Review Changes screen now renders Display Page Templates and content that uses those templates (e.g., Web Content Articles, Blog Entries). Previously, these were not previewable — the Display tab was either empty or disabled for such content.

Why was this change made?

This change allows content reviewers to see the real end-user layout before publication. It significantly improves quality assurance by reducing publishing errors and increases confidence that the final layout will match expectations — especially for structured content and enterprise use cases (e.g., FHLBNY). This change improves usability and eliminates a gap in the review process that could result in visual inconsistencies post-publication.

How should I update my features or implementation?

• No changes are needed.

What changed?

The Data tab in the Review Changes screen for Web Content Articles now displays all editable fields, including those created via custom structures. It also shows field labels and values exactly as defined by content creators.

Why was this change made?

Previously, only a subset of fields was shown, which often led to missed content changes during the review process. This update makes it easier to catch all modifications, especially in highly customized structures — enhancing accuracy and trust in the publishing process.

How should I update my features or implementation?

• No changes are needed.

What Changed?

The Configuration Headless API now exposes and manages site-scoped configurations that were previously unavailable through export/import operations. During import, existing configurations for a site are now overridden with the incoming configuration data based on groupId scope matching.

Why Was This Change Made?

This change ensures that site migrations are more complete and consistent, including configuration data that was previously missing.

How should I update my features or implementation?

• No changes are needed.

The results of a search haven’t to be shown the content of a fragment is within a collection display and is not indexed.

The change was already done for text editable, since the button fragment have to allow text only, and it was forgotten for the link editable.

The system-wide Mail Settings for DXP were migrated to use the standard system configuration framework.

The system options in Server Administration > Mail were moved to System Settings > Email > Virtual Instance Scope > Mail Settings

The existing settings from previous releases will be automatically migrated during the database upgrade process.

The following portal properties were removed since they are now defined by configuration properties:
LIST OF PROPERTIES

Following standard configuration patterns, Instance Settings > Email > Mail Settings will have default values inherited from the System Settings. The administrator for Portal Instances can now view the default values, override, or reset to default.

Please refer to Configuring Mail - Liferay Official Documentation for additional details.

The Object Inheritance feature has been updated to support more flexible scenarios, which introduces changes to the previous behavior:

• Child definitions can now be associated with multiple parent definitions.
  Previously, a child could only inherit from a single parent.

• Child entries can now exist without a parent (standalone entries).
  Before this change, every child entry was required to belong to a parent.

• The relationship field is no longer mandatory at the object-definition level.
  Previously, the relationship field was always required when inheritance was enabled.
  Now, it becomes mandatory only when the entry is created in the context of a parent.

• Permission and configuration inheritance now depends on whether the child entry has a parent.
  Standalone entries no longer inherit permissions or configuration from a root object.

At the LPD-46627: Enhancing SAML to be able to Sync User GroupsClosed story we modified the SAML userGroups membership management according to the portal’s standard way. With that we introduced a namespace for the attribute which seems causing inconveniences to customers, described in the LPD-66611: userGroups Attribute Name Changed to membership:userGroups, Breaking Liferay IdP IntegrationsClosed bug ticket.

Liferay’s Countries feature was migrated from being a Commerce feature to a DXP feature, thus Commerce’s Countries page was removed. Users that manage Countries will now be able to manage them through the Countries Management page under the Control Panel.

Content is no longer classified as translated solely upon the translation of its title. Now, when a user translates any field, not just the title, but also the content status changes to "Translating". It will only be considered translated when all fields have been translated.

To bolster permissions management and elevate user awareness concerning content, users will now be prompted to confirm permissions during the initial publishing or saving process, requiring an additional click. Subsequent saving or publishing actions will not require this confirmation.

The "Mine" filter now displays the creation date information instead of the modified date.

The "Recent" filter now displays the creation date information instead of the modified date.

A new SEO menu has been added in Instance Settings with an item selector to include specific Sites or all of them, in the sitemap of the Company through the Company's Virtual Host, and the default site cannot be deleted from the list. If the default site has a Virtual Host defined, it will not be added to the company's XML sitemap although listed in the configuration.

Users are currently presented with a group of features that are not relevant in the configuration page for Utility Pages. These non-applicable features have been removed while preserving the essential HTML Title, HTML Description, and SEO configuration elements.

After searching with a keyword and selecting facets, searching with a new keyword (in either using the header Search Bar or any Search Bar widget instance on a page) will clear all active facet selections.

The old behavior can be enabled via the Search Options widget by ticking Retain Facet Selections Across Searches option.

This affects any custom code using Liferay’s API methods User.getRemotePreference(String) and User.getRemotePreferences().

The API supporting logic has to collect and hold cookies in User object, causing unnecessary CPU and memory overhead. These methods were just a convenient shortcut to get the user's current request's cookies with REMOTE_PREFERENCE_ name prefix. The same logic can be done by directly getting necessary cookies from request.

• What changed? Currently, the translatable object fields use the configured languageId from the user. With this change, it is going to use the preferred Locale given by the DTOConverterContext instead.
• Why was this change made? This change is needed in order to return the appropriate translatable object field values for the language setting in the Accept-Language header.
• Who is affected? Every user that calls the translatable object fields.
• How should I update my features or implementation to better adopt the breaking change? Adding or removing (depends on the cases) the Accept-Language header.

Tag values are now case-sensitive.

The name of the reserved variable ID has always referred to the article ID so it has been changed to: Article ID. A new ID variable has been added that refers to the ID.

Sites are not browsable for non-admin users in Breadcrumb portlet when the site has Membership restricted or private.
The Default Layout permission was replaced with the current Group check.
Disable Group membership checking since it has no relationship to layout browsability.

When we create a new Site the Allow Manual Membership Management option will be disabled by default to avoid uploading malicious files to the Documents and Media portlet.

All filtering in web content now only applies to the current folder. Previously, certain filters exhibited behavior limited to the current folder and now it has been standardized to all filters.

Searching after filtering will clear all existing filters and give a search from the entire data set.

The filtering options for "With approved versions," "With scheduled versions," and "With expired versions” are now designated as "Approved," "Scheduled," and "Expired," respectively. Rather than filtering all web content with a given status, it now distinctly displays content or versions in the specified status.

From now on, the segments tab for the Administrator role will no longer be displayed in the assignees' tab. Assigning the Administrator role through segments is not allowed.

The configuration sections in Utility Pages are not enabled, as the other pages, due to their use being more restricted. The implementation of these settings should occur by analyzing each case.

As mentioned in the new features section the following properties having been transformed in configurations, so they are no longer available in the properties files:

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

Previously our AB Testing feature supported multivariate testing. With the addition of multiple variants, the time to completion and the calculations required would increase exponentially. This caused many issues for our customers. As such we have decided to pare back this functionality to provide a higher quality experience for our users. Now our AB Testing feature only supports 1 variant, in addition to the control. This makes our feature truly an AB Test rather than a Multivariate Test. There is the possibility of re-enabling multivariate testing in the future, but that will depend on the needs from our customers.

We changed the default configuration such that if a Menu Display widget is placed on a Page Template, the default configuration for it will be "Pages Hierarchy" (unless there are no Pages at all on the Site). It will display as "Pages Hierarchy" even if Private Pages are enabled. If Private Pages are enabled, an alert will appear on the Page Template letting the user know that the Menu Display may appear different if the inherited page has the opposite privateLayout value to the menu currently being rendered.

When a Page inherits this Page Template, the alert message does not display on the Page, and the Navigation Menu will be configured for either Public Pages Hierarchy or Private Pages Hierarchy depending on whether the page is public.

Current options in System Settings > Documents and Media > Cache Control are:

• Public
• Private

And Private is the default option.

From now on, we are adding a new option No Cache that will allow configure this option to “private, no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" and it will be used as default value, so it changes current default behavior:
