Release Notes

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.
Searching after filtering will clear all existing filters and give a search from the entire data set.
The guest role from the role selector was disabled since it is not possible for it to work. |
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:
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:
With the upgrade of the client libraries, the minimum compatible Elasticsearch minor version shits to 7.17.x.
When the server is lower than the expected version, the DXP won't start-up, but fail with an error in the DXP console:
10-22 10:45:22.619 ERROR [main][ElasticsearchSearchEngine:375] Elasticsearch node es-node-1 does not meet the minimum version requirement of 7.17
Support for these application servers is removed from 2024.Q3 or later since they are no longer receiving updates from the vendor.
Wildfly 26.1 and Jboss EAP 7.4 remain fully supported
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.
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.
No changes are needed.
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.
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.
No changes are needed.
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.
This change ensures that site migrations are more complete and consistent, including configuration data that was previously missing.
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.
