PortletMVC4Spring has migrated to a new version based on Spring 6.0 and Jakarta EE. Users must migrated their existing PortletMVC4Spring projects to version 6.x

The previous versions of PortletMVC4Spring were deprecated due to dependency on Java EE and will no longer work with 2025.Q3 release.

The current version of Liferay Faces was deprecated due to dependency on Java EE and will no longer work with 2025.Q3 release.

However, Liferay is still preparing a new version of the Liferay Faces, based on Jakarta EE 10 and Portlet 4.0, scheduled for release later this year. Since the dependencies in DXP are already migrated, it is expected that the new Faces release will be compatible with 2025.Q3

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.
