Release Notes
We added External Reference Codes for references in widget configurations in Content Management applications. This helps promote data integrity when pages and their widgets are migrated across environments.
Highlights:
References within the following page widgets now use ERC’s instead of internal ID’s:
The Marketplace release of the Liferay Connector to OpenSearch 2 provides an alternative to Elasticsearch for Self-Hosted Liferay deployments.
This connector integrates Liferay DXP with OpenSearch 2.12+, the open source and enterprise grade search engine. OpenSearch offers lexical search for text data, robust scalability and extensibility, and vector search for applications using embeddings, such as Liferay's Semantic Search.
The installation of this app requires specific configurations covered in the official documentation. For detailed compatibility information, see the Search Engine Compatibility Matrix.
The OpenSearch integration is currently a Beta feature with the intention to make it GA in the future.
Official release of Liferay Data Sets, moving from Beta to Release! Data Sets are a powerful and flexible way to retrieve, manage, visualize, and interact with structured data in Liferay DXP. Built on top of Objects and leveraging Liferay’s robust ecosystem, Data Sets exemplify the “build Liferay with Liferay” philosophy. With seamless integration with compatible Headless APIs, administrators can easily configure Data Sets and empower end-users with a rich, customizable experience for consuming and interacting with data.
Key benefits:
Retrieve Data: Fetch information from any compatible Headless API to use as a Data Set source.
Manage Flexibility: Administrators can customize what parts of the API response are included, along with filters, sorting options, and available actions.
Visualize Data: Multiple visualization options make it easier than ever for end-users to consume data meaningfully.
Enable Interaction: End-users can interact dynamically with data using the filters, actions, and tools configured by administrators.
To ensure the quality, stability, and modernity of Liferay DXP, we've updated to React 18, bringing significant benefits in security, performance, and compatibility. This update is critical to maintaining DXP's status as a robust and future-proof platform.
Key benefits:
Security Enhancements: Older library versions can expose vulnerabilities. Upgrading to React 18 mitigates these risks by incorporating the latest security patches.
Performance Improvements: React 18 introduces features like concurrent rendering, which enhances responsiveness and load handling for better user experiences.
Enhanced Compatibility: Upgrading ensures DXP aligns with modern tools and frameworks, minimizing integration challenges and future-proofing our development processes.
Continued Support: Staying current with React’s ecosystem ensures ongoing access to community updates, bug fixes, and innovations.
