The Questions Widget is a legacy application that was primarily maintained to support Liferay Ask. With the recent migration from Ask to Discuss (Liferay's new forum platform), this widget is no longer needed. Therefore, the Questions Widget is being deprecated to reduce technical debt and ongoing maintenance costs.
Release Notes
Search re-indexing has been optimized to deliver shorter re-index windows, especially for Objects-heavy deployments. In testing against production databases and architecture, we observed re-index improvements of 2x or more across the evaluated datasets, with gains reaching up to 10x on specific workloads. The optimizations primarily targeted improvements that scale with the volume and complexity of Object data being indexed.
Key Benefits:
Shorter re-index windows reduce maintenance overhead and downtime risk
Validated on a production-equivalent distributed architecture
Largest impact for Objects-heavy installations
Generally Available (aka OOTB)
Building on the automated database repair routines introduced in 2025.Q4, Liferay DXP continues to expand the set of repair processes that run during the upgrade. Based on additional research into customer upgrade issues, new repair routines automatically identify and correct further sources of database inconsistencies, orphan references, and invalid data — before they cause upgrade failures or performance bottlenecks. These repair routines remain targeted at known issues with data structures only, keeping your critical data content safe. Details of each repair process continue to be provided for review in the Upgrade Report after the database upgrade completes.
Key Benefits:
Minimize risks for current and future upgrades
Automates data maintenance

When using the Liferay DXP Database Partitioning feature, the system now enforces strict access controls ensuring only the authorized database partition is accessible for any given request. This completes foundational security work and extends proper enforcement to all Liferay entry points, including Headless APIs and Client Extensions.
Key Benefits:
Prevents unauthorized cross-partition data access in multi-tenant environments
Ensures consistent partition access enforcement across all Liferay entry points (Headless, Client Extensions)
