Microsoft no longer supports Sharepoint versions 2010/2013. See SharePoint Server 2013 - Microsoft Lifecycle and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 - Microsoft Lifecycle.This feature has been in maintenance mode for a very long time and there is just a very small user base. Considering the high costs for us in terms of tests maintenance, we decided to deprecate it.

A new toggle has been added within the Specifications and Product Specifications sections of the admin UI.

This toggle allows Catalog Managers to easily show or hide individual specifications associated with a product. This functionality provides the flexibility to curate the information displayed to customers on product detail pages.

Key Benefits:

1. Enhanced Product Presentation: Control which product specifications are visible to customers, allowing for a cleaner and more focused product presentation on the storefront.

2. Improved Data Accuracy and Relevance: Hide internal or less relevant specifications, ensuring that customers only see information pertinent to their purchasing decisions.

Guests now have the option to sign in or sign up during the checkout process, directly from the mini-cart. Once logged in, users can either select an existing account or create a new one, ensuring that they can move through the purchase flow smoothly without disruptions. Upon setting the account, guests, now logged-in users, will be redirected to the checkout, making the transition to completing the purchase seamless.

Additionally, if a guest decides to sign in without necessarily checking out, the guest cart will now be merged with their account after logging in. This ensures that any items added to the cart during the guest session are retained when they sign in or select an existing account, improving the continuity and experience for returning users.

This feature introduces the ability to define and manage custom address types as sub-types of the main address categories—Billing, Shipping, or Billing & Shipping—in Commerce - Account Addresses. This significantly enhances address management flexibility for B2B businesses operating across multiple locations, departments, or stakeholders.

Previously, address management was limited to only two hardcoded types: Shipping and Billing. With this release, businesses can now define additional sub-types (e.g., Ship-to Party, Sold-to Party, Ordering Address, Payer, Disti Branch Officer, DC Delivery Address) through a newly introduced Picklist-based configuration system. These sub-types are configurable and can be mapped directly under one of the three main categories.

This approach ensures compatibility with common ERP systems like SAP, which already support a range of address roles in the order-to-cash process.

Key Benefits:

• Flexible Address Management: B2B businesses can model complex customer hierarchies and logistical operations with precision. Define specific address roles that align with real-world use cases without being restricted to just billing and shipping.
• ERP Integration Ready: Custom sub-types allow seamless data synchronization with ERP systems like SAP, avoiding manual workarounds and ensuring that address roles like Sold-to, Bill-to, and Ship-to are preserved in external systems.
• Improved Order Fulfillment & Compliance: Tailoring address types to real operational needs supports more accurate order routing, fulfillment, and financial processing, while also aligning with internal compliance and invoicing requirements.

With the upcoming release of Jakarta and new application server versions, Liferay is focused on becoming a full feature enterprise platform.

We integrated the Clay Table's column visibility dropdown and column sorting functionalities into the Frontend Data Set. This makes a unified approach to table interactions across Liferay, replacing inconsistent custom implementations.

Key Benefits:

• A more standard column visibility and sorting that guarantee a more usable and predictable interaction across the platform.

• Reduces redundant code by aligning with the Clay Table’s native functionalities.

• Developers no longer need to manage multiple implementations for similar features.

• Ensures UI and UX consistency with Liferay’s design system.
