Configuring the scaling behaviour of Liferay is not simple. Customers are required to have a deep understanding of how their application' metrics behave to set their thresholds. Since charges are also incurred depending on the hours and instances scaled, customers can feel confused on the value they are being invoiced. 

That’s why we allowed for customers to set the maximum and minimum number of scaled instances in their Cloud Console scaling page. This means non-technical customers now can control how little or how much they want to spend in scaling their application. Allowing them pinpoint precision when balancing between improved user experience with more instances, and the increase in costs associated with that.

The Liferay Developer Studio installer now includes JDK 21 as a selectable option if it’s available, simplifying the initial setup and providing a more convenient and user-friendly experience for developers wanting to use the latest Java version supported by Liferay.

This initiative focuses on developing a dedicated "Publisher Page" on the Liferay Marketplace. This page will serve as a public profile for each vendor or seller, showcasing their products, brand, and relevant information like company description, company logo and a contact us form to reach out the publisher directly.

The enhancement aims to improve the overall Marketplace experience by:

• Providing greater visibility and credibility for publishers.

• Enabling customers to make more informed purchasing decisions.

• Fostering a stronger connection between publishers and customers.

• Offering publishers a new avenue for marketing and branding.

Implement multi-currency support to enable marketplace to display product prices in various currencies.
