This is the Staging related implementation of a bigger change. On the Staging side, the LXC Client extensions (Remote apps) could be handled. To make this feature completely working, LPS-182183: Export/Import of FrontEnd Client Extensions is also needed.

• Deletion of property upgrade.log.context.name. Now all upgrade related log lines are automatically tagged with the key upgrade.component, which provides more meaningful information.
• Upgrade Report is now compatible also with upgrade on startup, and it can be printed as Log Thread Context information.
• Upgrades log the result and the type of upgrade that has taken place after all the upgrade processes finish.
• New mBean available with upgrade on startup to obtain real time information about the status and the result of the upgrade.

Creation of a new property called upgrade.report.dl.storage.size.timeout that specifies the number of seconds that the upgrade report generation will wait for calculating the DL size before timing out. This property is set to 10 by default but it can be modified in the portal-ext.properties file.

Adds support for creating custom client extension development profiles in the same project.
For example, when the user creates a file called client-extension.dev.yaml , a new task will be available to the user called deployDev.

In order to allow developers to exclude directories from the build, a new property has been added: liferay.workspace.dir.excludes.globs= 

Kaleo Forms was already in maintenance mode. It is now being moved to deprecated, so it can be removed at the same time as DDL in about a year. This solution is being replaced by Objects, Workflow, and Form Container Fragments.

The portlets that are in the Contacts module will be deprecated.

These are:

1. Contacts Center
2. Members
3. My Contacts
4. Profile

In the first step, the modules were pushed to the maintenance mode.

These modules are obsolete ones and are no longer being used. They have been moved to deprecate and later it will be removed.
