This is a major version release that brings important platform updates and security enhancements alongside several necessary breaking changes to ensure the continued delivery and stability of Liferay Developer Studio.

Key Benefits:

• Eclipse Platform Update: The underlying platform was updated to Eclipse 2025.12, taking advantage of the latest features and security updates from Eclipse. For more information, please see https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/news/4.38/.

• Blade Version Update: The packaged Blade version was updated to 8.0.1-SNAPSHOT.

This feature introduces a centralized administration interface within the Data Set Manager to oversee and moderate User Views. Administrators can now access a global list of all User Views to monitor usage or perform cleanups.

Key Benefits:

• Centralized Oversight: A new "Manage User Views" button in the Data Set Manager provides a complete list of all User Views for easier monitoring.

• Contextual Access: Admins can jump to the management view from specific Data Set settings, where the list is automatically pre-filtered to show only the views belonging to that Data Set.

• Administrative Control: Enables admins to maintain system hygiene by deleting individual or multiple User Views via bulk actions.

• Full Visibility: Provides key details at a glance, such as which user created the view and which Data Set it belongs to, ensuring better governance of user-generated configurations.

From now on CK Editor 5 will be the default rich text editor present in Liferay DXP. For those customers with custom plugins or other particularities over CK Editor 4 that don’t want to upgrade yet, they can enable the deprecation Feature Flag (FF-11235) to have CK Editor 4 as default in DXP.

Note: CK Editor 4 still remains the default editor on some of the DXP features, those which are in Maintenance Mode such as Knowledge Base or Blogs, these experiences will not be migrated to CK Editor 5.
